Annotated paper:Jakobsson J, et al. "Role of epsin 1 in synaptic vesicle endocytosis" Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2008 Apr 29;105(17):6445-50 PMID:18430801
Figure(s):fig 3, fig 4, Fig.6
Annotation description:In fig 2 the authors localize epsin 1 to presynaptic coated pits. In fig 3/4 they inject function blocking antibodies recognizing epsin 1 into the pre synapse.This leads to a massive reduction in the number of SVs following a 5 Hz 30 min stimulation. In fig. 4 they use EM to demonstrate a change in the morphology of clathrin-coated pits.
