Unravelling principles underlying neurotransmitter release are key to understand
neural signaling. Here, we describe how surface mobility of voltage-dependent
calcium channels (VDCCs) modulates release probabilities (P(r)) of synaptic
vesicles (SVs). Coupling distances of 100 nm have been reported for SVs
and VDCCs in different synapses. Tracking individual VDCCs revealed that within
hippocampal synapses, ∼60% of VDCCs are mobile while confined to presynaptic
membrane compartments. Intracellular Ca(2+) chelation decreased VDCC mobility.
Increasing VDCC surface populations by co-expression of the α2δ1 subunit did not
alter channel mobility but led to enlarged active zones (AZs) rather than higher
channel densities. VDCCs thus scale presynaptic scaffolds to maintain local
mobility. We propose that dynamic coupling based on mobile VDCCs supports calcium
domain cooperativity and tunes neurotransmitter release by equalizing Pr for
docked SVs within AZs.
