Crashpilot underachieves due to acetylation at the nerve terminal

Neuron. 2011 Dec 8;72(5):679-81. doi: 10.1016/j.neuron.2011.11.008.

Abstract

Protein acetylation is mostly known for its role in chromatin remodeling. In this issue, Miśkiewicz and colleagues reveal a novel function of acetylation at the nerve terminal, where it regulates T bars and the number of associated synaptic vesicles to ultimately control the efficacy of synaptic transmission.
