Popis: Summary: The quantal content of an evoked postsynaptic response is typically determined by dividing it by the average spontaneous miniature response. However, this approach is challenged by the notion that different synaptic vesicle pools might drive spontaneous and evoked release. Here, we “silence” synaptic vesicles through pharmacological alkalinization and subsequently rescue them by optogenetic acidification. We find that such silenced synaptic vesicles, retrieved during evoked or spontaneous activity, cross-deplete the complementary release mode in a fully reversible manner. A fluorescently tagged version of the endosomal SNARE protein Vti1a, which has been suggested to identify a separate pool of spontaneously recycling synaptic vesicles, is trafficked to synaptic vesicles significantly only upon overexpression but not when endogenously tagged by CRISPR-Cas9. Thus, both release modes draw synaptic vesicles from the same readily releasable pool.
