KEYNOTE LECTURE
Endocytic Recycling Pathway Determines the Properties of Neurotransmitter Release
Robert Edwards
Professor of Neurology and Physiology University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine
Abstract:
In the course of studying glutamate corelease by dopamine neurons, we
found that the two transmitters signal with different short-term kinetics:
the glutamate response depresses more rapidly than the dopamine.
Although this might reflect differences in the properties of glutamate
and dopamine receptors, we found that release of the two transmitters
couples to different presynaptic Ca2+ channels. The direct analysis of
individual release events by imaging shows that vesicles storing
glutamate and dopamine behave differently even when located at the
same presynaptic bouton. The two synaptic vesicle populations also
appear to form through different endocytic mechanisms. In contrast to
glutamate vesicles which have been shown to recycle dependent on
clathrin and its adaptor protein AP-2, monoamine vesicles depend on
the related but distinct adaptor AP-3. Thus, different endocytic
pathways produce synaptic vesicles with different transmitter content
and release properties, with important implications for organization of
the nerve terminal and for the processing of information.
General Principles for Timing and Oscillations in Stochastic Reaction Systems
Johan Paulsson
Professor of System Biology
Harvard Medical School
Department of System Biology
Abstract:
Precise timing can be advantageous in many biological processes but is difficult to achieve because chemical reactions often produce exponentially distributed waiting times for individual events. I will discuss hard bounds on timing and the phase-drift of oscillators in reaction networks with finite numbers of molecules, based on analytical theory for classes of stochastic processes. Based on this theory, I then show how we designed and built a series of ultra-precise synthetic gene oscillators, some of which can oscillate for 500 cell generations without entrainment before drifting out of phase with even half a period. Finally, I will show how some natural systems use the same simple but counterintuitive principles to achieve timing in cell fate decisions, and how these are easily missed in deterministic modeling frameworks.
