| | Calcium-activated proteases are critical for refilling depleted vesicle stores in cultured sensory-motor synapses of ... |
 | | BI and BII are examples of 5HT-evoked facilitation of rested synapses in the controls and in the neurons incubated in 100 µM calpeptin for 15 min, respectively. |
 | | When calpain activation is inhibited (#8), the impeding substrates are not cleaved, and as a consequence, the translocation of vesicles is slowed down, leading to an increased rate of homosynaptic depression. |
 | | Furthermore, following homosynaptic depression, in the presence of calpeptin, 5HT application (#9) and PKC activation (#10) fail to mobilize vesicles, since vesicle translocation is impeded by the hypothetical uncleaved calpain substrate. |
