Annotation description:In this paper, the authors raise two monoclonal antibodies against a protein of 65 000 Da molecular weight (p65 or synaptotagmin-1), which specifically label synaptic vesicle membranes in nerve terminals and are used for immunoisolation of vesicular structures with characteristics of SVs from brain homogenates. The paper represents the first report on synaptotagmin-1 identified in a screen for antibodies against SV proteins.

- Based on the known transmembrane topology of the protein, the "integral component of ... membrane" term was chosen.

Additional literature:The authors report on the structural organization of synaptotagmin-1 and identify N-terminal intravesicular domain with glycosylation signals followed by a TMR and cytosolic C-terminal protion of the protein containg linker regions and two protein kinase C-homologous sequences named C2A and C2B domains. Furthermore, the authors show that the protein co-immunopurifies with SV marker synaptophysin I during immunobead isolation of SVs from rat brain. @ PMID:1985919

Perin et al study the cDNAs encoding human and Drosophila synaptotagmins in order to compare them structurally and functionally. In addition, the authors unambiguously name the p65 protein synaptotagmin 1.
Moreover, the structural conservation and similarity between rat, human and Drosophila synaptotagmin 1 suggests conserved function of this SV protein. @ PMID:1840599

Takamori et al perform subcellular fractionation of a rat brain and isolate pure CPG-SVs, which are subjected to advanced characterization by immunoblotting (of all fractions) and mass spectrometry. The proteomic approach unambiguously identifies syt-1 on SVs and the immunodetection of the protein in all fractions adds another line of evidence for presence on SVs. Furthermore, quantification of some of the SV proteins reveals that synaptotagmin-1 counts for about 7% of total SV protein (Table 1,Fig. 1B, Fig. S3). @ PMID:17110340
