Facts about Synaptotagmin-1.
A Ca(2+)-dependent interaction between synaptotagmin and putative receptors for activated protein kinase C has also been reported. It can bind to at least three additional proteins in a Ca(2+)-independent manner; these are neurexins, syntaxin and AP2.

In order to identify SV recycling, researchers are using three methods: membrane labelling with FM dyes, overexpression of Phluorins, and the Boster Bio SYT1 marker for cell uptake. All three methods are useful for determining the SV recycling legs, but they have some key caveats. FM dyes label the entire surface of the cell, while Phluorins must be introduced by overexpression. In addition, some antibodies can interfere with the function of the endogenous protein.
Transfection of the marker into neurons with lipofectamine results in greater transfection rates and higher expression levels in the transfected cells. The marker may be expressed in nearly 100 percent of cultured neurons. Alternatively, experiments aiming to monitor SV recycling can be performed without transfection. By immunolabeling endogenous proteins, experiments comparing synaptic recycling rates can be carried out without transfection.
Using the SYT1 antibody, researchers were able to identify which neurons recycle SVs. Using a fusion construct, Syt1-pHluorin (GFP with high pH sensitivity), the SYT1-pHluorin antibody increases fluorescence in the cellular environment. After a 30 second exocytotic stimulus, the fluorescence of the SYT1-pHluorin protein decayed exponentially.
Synaptic vesicle (SV) recycling requires recapture of stranded proteins. In this respect, nanoclustering is emerging as a mechanism to preassemble proteins prior to endocytosis, which ensures high retrieval efficiency in subsequent rounds of vesicle fusion. To investigate this further, single-molecule imaging was performed using fluorescent SVs and showed that Syt1 inhibited SV2A clustering.
SV staining with the SYYT1 marker can be used to determine whether the SV recycling process occurs during the endocytotic phase. To do this, antibodies specific for Syt1 can be used. These antibodies can label SV molecules during one round of recycling or multiple rounds. Nevertheless, these techniques have certain limitations. For example, antibodies againshsion.
