Molecules specifically associated with synaptic vesicles are obvious candidates to carry out some of the specialized functions of synaptic vesicles. Several proteins of the synaptic vesicle have been identified, however, none of them have a proven function. Synapsin I was identified as a major phosphoprotein of the synaptic vesicle and may regulate the availability of vesicles for release.’ Other vesicle proteins have been identified with the aid of monoclonal antibodies, including a 65,000-Da transmembrane protein (p65): and a 100,000-Da transmembrane glycoprotein.” We and others have characterized a 38,000-Da synaptic vesicle protein that has been named p38,’ synaptophysin,’ and SVP38.6 The monoclonal antibody we produced against this protein stained synaptic structures throughout the rat nervous system. Subcellular fractionation of homogenized rat cerebral cortex, based on established procedures’ (FIG. lA), was undertaken to identify the location of SVP38 within the cell. The results of this fractionation showed the antigen to be consistently enriched in the fractions known to contain synaptic vesicles (FIG. 1B). The fractions from the controlled pore glass chromatography, the last step in the isolation of synaptic vesicles, were analyzed by immunoblotting for SVP38 and synapsin I. Both proteins showed the same elution profile (FIG. lC), demonstrating that SVP38 is also a synaptic vesicle protein. One approach to understanding the function of synaptic vesicle proteins is to compare their developmental appearance with the appearance of other features of presynaptic function. Molecules expressed only subsequent to synapse formation can be expected to carry out different functions from those also expressed in the growth cone prior to synapse formation. We have used a dot immunobinding assay to analyze the developmental expression in the cerebral cortex of three synaptic vesicle proteins: synapsin I, p65, and SVP38. These data are shown in FIGURE 2, along with comparable information on synapse formation in the cortex, as measured using the electron microscope.8 SVP38 levels increase in parallel with the formation of synapses, while synapsin I and p65 are expressed earlier and do not increase to the same extent during synaptogenesis. Since the electron microscope analysis of synapse formation relied on the appearance of the electron-dense postsynaptic density, it is possible that the initial stages of synapse formation precede the expression of SVP38. The difference in developmental expression between synapsin I, p65, and SVP38
