Is Ca2+ Essential for Synaptic Vesicle Endocytosis?

Is Ca2+ Essential for Synaptic Vesicle Endocytosis? Trends Neurosci. 2020 Jan 03;: Authors: Chanaday NL, Kavalali ET Abstract Synaptic vesicle fusion is coupled to swift retrieval of vesicle components from the synaptic plasma membrane. Ca2+ has been assumed to be a key mediator of this coupling. In a recent study, Orlando et al. unequivocally demonstrate that Ca2+ is not essential for synaptic vesicle retrieval.
