Abstract

The hypothesis that the usual absence of neurofilaments in synaptic terminals is due to their degradation by the calcium-activated protease present in axoplasm was tested by injecting leupeptin, which inhibits the protease, into the optic tectum of goldfish kept at 15° and at 25°C. The resulting accumulation of neurofilaments in synaptic terminals provides in vivo evidence in support of the hypothesis. The significance of these results and the potential uses of this pharmacological tool are discussed.
