We have used a sensitive activity-dependent probe, sulforhodamine
101 (SR101), to view endocytic events within snake motor nerve
terminals. After very brief neural stimulation at reduced temperature,
SR101 is visualized exclusively at punctate sites located just inside
the presynaptic membrane of each terminal bouton. The number of sites
(~26 sites/bouton) and their location (in register with postsynaptic
folds) are similar to the number and location of active zones in snake
motor terminals, suggesting a spatial association between exocytosis
and endocytosis under these stimulus conditions. With more prolonged
stimulation, larger SR101-containing structures appear at the bouton
margins. Thus endocytosis occurs initially at distinct sites, which we
call "endocytic active zones," whereas further stimulation recruits a second endocytic paradigm.
