Effect of proteolytic cleavage of α2(3C)δ-1 on vesicular release in presynaptic terminals of hippocampal neurons.

(a) Fluorescence changes in presynaptic terminals of hippocampal neurons expressing vGlut-pHluorin (vG-pHluorin) in response to electrical stimulation. Left panel, mCherry-positive boutons. Three …

The proteolytic cleavage of α2(3C)δ-1 does not affect the readily releasable pool (RRP) in presynaptic terminals of hippocampal neurons.

(a–c) vG-pHluorin responses (mean ± SEM) to 20 AP at 100 Hz (5–6 trial average, 25 to 50 boutons) from presynaptic terminals of neurons co-transfected with empty vector (a), α2(3C)δ-1 (b) or α2(3C)δ-…

Effect of the proteolytic cleavage of α2(3C)δ-1 on delayed vesicular release in presynaptic terminals of hippocampal neurons.

(a) Average vG-pHluorin responses (mean ± SEM) to 20 APs at 100 Hz (5–6 trial average, 25 to 50 boutons) from presynaptic terminals of neurons co-transfected with empty vector (black), α2(3C)δ-1 …

Quantified co-immunoprecipitation of CaV2.2 with cleaved and uncleaved fractions of wild-type α2δ-1 from WCL of tsA-201 cells.

(a) Left panels show WCL input from tsA-201 cells transfected with GFP-CaV2.2 (lanes 1 and 2) or GFP (lane 3), plus β1b and HA-tagged α2δ-1: upper panel, HA-α2δ-1 input; lower panel, CaV2.2-GFP …
