ABSTRACT Neurotransmission at synapses is mediated by the fusion and subsequent endocytosis of synaptic vesicle membranes. Actin has been suggested to be required for presynaptic but mechanisms that control actin polymerization its mode action within nerve terminals remain poorly understood. We combine optical recordings membrane dynamics ultrastructural analysis with genetic pharmacological manipulations demonstrate controlled regulatory diaphanous-related formins mDia1/3 Rho family GTPase signaling. show impaired assembly in near absence reduced RhoA activity partly compensated hyperactivation Rac1. Inhibition Rac1 signaling further aggravates elicited loss mDia1/3. Our data suggest interdependent mDia1/3-Rho pathways cooperatively act facilitate controlling F-actin.
