Abstract
Vesicular neurotransmitter transporters package transmitter into the lumen of synaptic vesicles for quantal release. However, the number of transporters that localize to each vesicle is not known. In this issue of Neuron, a study by Daniels et al. using the Drosophila neuromuscular junction and mutations of the vesicular glutamate transporter suggests that one transporter may suffice to fill each vesicle.
