VMAT2 dysfunction impairs vesicular dopamine uptake, driving its oxidation and α-synuclein pathology in DJ-1-linked Parkinson's disease neurons

Leonie M. Heger, Francesco Gubinelli, Andreas J. Huber…·Lena F. Burbulla

This study shows that DJ-1 deficiency impairs VMAT2 function and vesicle dynamics, leading to dopamine oxidation and α-synuclein pathology in Parkinson's disease neurons.

Co-localization of different neurotransmitter transporters on synaptic vesicles is sparse except of VGLUT1 and ZnT3

Neha Upmanyu, Jialin Jin, Henrik von der Emde…·Sivakumar Sambandan

The paper shows that a small population of synaptic vesicles contain different neurotransmitter transporters, enabling corelease of various neurotransmitter combinations.
