Latrotoxin receptor signaling engages the UNC-13-dependent vesicle-priming pathway in C. elegans

?-latrotoxin (LTX), a 120 kDa protein in black widow spider venom, triggers massive neurotransmitter exocytosis. Previous studies have highlighted a role for both intrinsic pore-forming activity and receptor binding in the action of this toxin. Intriguingly, activation of a presynaptic G protein-cou...
