In central nervous system (CNS) synapses, action potential-evoked neurotransmitter release is principally mediated by Ca<sub>V</sub>2.1 calcium channels (Ca<sub>V</sub>2.1) and is highly dependent on the physical distance between Ca<sub>V</sub>2.1 and synaptic vesicles (coupling). Although various active zone proteins are proposed to control coupling and abundance of Ca<sub>V</sub>2.1 through direct interactions with the Ca<sub>V</sub>2.1 α1 subunit C-terminus at the active zone, the role of the ...[more]
