The subcellular distribution of three proteins of synaptic vesicles (synaptin/synaptophysin, p65 and SV2) was determined in bovine adrenal medulla and sympathetic nerve axons. In adrenals most p65 and SV2 is confined to chromaffin granules. Part of synaptin/synaptophysin is apparently also present in these organelles, but a considerable portion is found in a light vesicle which does not contain significant concentrations of typical markers of chromaffin granules (cytochrome b-561, dopamine beta-hydroxylase or the amine carrier). An analogous finding was obtained for sympathetic axons. The large dense core vesicles contain most p65 and also SV2 but only a smaller portion of synaptin/synaptophysin. A lighter vesicle containing this latter antigen and some SV2 has also been found. These results establish that in adrenal medulla and sympathetic axons three typical antigens of synaptic vesicles are not restricted to light vesicles. Apparently, a varying part of these antigens is found in chromaffin granules and large dense core vesicles. On the other hand, the light vesicles do not contain significant concentrations of functional antigens of chromaffin granules. Thus, the biogenesis of small presynaptic vesicles which contain all three antigens as well as functional components like the amine carrier is likely to involve considerable membrane sorting.
