Abstract
Exocytosis and endocytosis of synaptic vesicles are tightly coordinated to maintain a steady supply of new vesicles during periods of extended neuronal stimulation. Yao et al. (2009) now report that a synaptic vesicle membrane protein named Flower promotes endocytosis at neuromuscular junctions in the fruit fly Drosophila.
