Junctional Nanodomains Organised by Extended Synaptotagmin-1 Underlie Inflammatory Signalling in Sensory Neurons

Endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane (ER-PM) junctions coordinate Ca2+ signalling and nociceptor excitability during inflammation, but the molecular scaffold governing assembly of signalling complexes remains unclear. Here, we identify Extended Synaptotagmin-1 (Esyt1) as a key, dynamic regulator of inflammatory pain signalling. In nociceptive DRG neurons, Esyt1 is co-expressed with ANO1 and…
