Abstract
The basic endosomal recycling pathway can be modified to generate tran scytotic vesicles, storage vesicles and synaptic vesicles. Sorting int o synaptic vesicles requires specialized sorting information not prese nt in the transcytotic and storage vesicle proteins. Using mutagenesis we have distinguished the signals for rapid endocytosis and SV target ing in synaptobrevin. Finally, we have evidence that synaptic vesicles can be generated from an endosomal compartment in vitro.
