Figure(s):Figure 1
Annotation description:To test whether dynamin affects activity-dependent neuropeptide release at the Drosophila NMJ, GFP-tagged prepro-Drosophila insulin-like peptide 2 (Dilp2) was expressed in wild-type (WT) animals and the temperature-sensitive dynamin mutant shits1. Release at the larval neuromuscular junction was evoked by tetanic nerve stimulation (70 Hz, 1 min) at 22°C (i.e., a permissive temperature) or after heating to 30°C to acutely inactivate shits1

Figure 1 A and B: Temperature change did not affect synaptic neuropeptide release in WT animals.
Figure 1 C and D: Temperature-dependent dynamin inhibition halved activity-evoked peptide release.

Temperature-dependent dynamin inhibition does not affect presynaptic Ca2+ responses to activity (Macleod et al., 2004). Therefore, at a native synapse, dynamin directly enhances activity-evoked peptide release.
