--- _id: '10890' abstract: - lang: eng text: Upon the arrival of action potentials at nerve terminals, neurotransmitters are released from synaptic vesicles (SVs) by exocytosis. CaV2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 are the major subunits of the voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC) responsible for increasing intraterminal calcium levels and triggering SV exocytosis in the central nervous system (CNS) synapses. The two-dimensional analysis of CaV2 distributions using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-digested freeze-fracture replica labeling (SDS-FRL) has revealed their numbers, densities, and nanoscale clustering patterns in individual presynaptic active zones. The variation in these properties affects the coupling of VGCCs with calcium sensors on SVs, synaptic efficacy, and temporal precision of transmission. In this study, we summarize how the morphological parameters of CaV2 distribution obtained using SDS-FRL differ depending on the different types of synapses and could correspond to functional properties in synaptic transmission. acknowledgement: "This work was supported by the European Research Council advanced grant No. 694539 and the joint German-Austrian DFG and FWF project SYNABS (FWF: I-4638-B) to RS.\r\nThe authors thank Walter Kaufmann for his critical comments on the manuscript." article_number: '846615' article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Kohgaku full_name: Eguchi, Kohgaku id: 2B7846DC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Eguchi orcid: 0000-0002-6170-2546 - first_name: Jacqueline-Claire full_name: Montanaro-Punzengruber, Jacqueline-Claire id: 3786AB44-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Montanaro-Punzengruber - first_name: Elodie full_name: Le Monnier, Elodie id: 3B59276A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Le Monnier - first_name: Ryuichi full_name: Shigemoto, Ryuichi id: 499F3ABC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Shigemoto orcid: 0000-0001-8761-9444 citation: ama: Eguchi K, Montanaro-Punzengruber J-C, Le Monnier E, Shigemoto R.
