This study investigates how SNT-1 and SNT-3 mediate fast and slow neurotransmitter release in C. elegans by analyzing their interactions with SNARE complexes and polybasic motifs.

This study identifies a mechanism by which UNC-13 in C. elegans regulates synaptic vesicle exocytosis through domain interactions and functional switches.

This study identifies CASK and FARP as scaffolding proteins that localize post-synaptic ACh receptors, enhancing cholinergic transmission in C. elegans.

This study shows that male pheromones in C. elegans enhance hermaphrodite cholinergic synaptic transmission at the neuromuscular junction, affecting locomotion and mating efficiency.

The paper shows that UNC-13L's C2A domain forms homodimers or heterodimers with RIM, and that heterodimerization regulates synaptic vesicle release probability but not priming.
