Fig. 5

The filamentous network between synaptic vesicles and between the membranes and vesicles. Single tomogram slices are shown, in which synaptic vesicles are interconnected by filaments (connectors; A,B), and connected to the membrane via small filaments (tethers; C,D). Example of a docked synaptic vesicle located directly at the cell membrane without a visible filament between is shown in E and F. In B, D, and F the synaptic vesicles are annotated in white, the connectors in yellow, the tethers in blue, the cell membrane in light green, and the docked vesicles in red. B₁, D₁, and F₁ show 3D models of the annotated structures. The connectors between synaptic vesicles were measured in 4-dpf and 8-dpf zebrafish larvae (G). A magenta/green version of this figure is available as Supporting Information Figure 1. Scale bars = 100 nm in A-F; 50 nm in B₁-F₁.
