Abstract Background The molecular components in synapses that are essential to the life cycle of synaptic vesicles are well characterized. Nonetheless many aspects of synaptic processes in particular how they relate to complex behaviour remain elusive. The genomes of flies mosquitoes the honeybee and the beetle are now fully sequenced and span an evolutionary breadth of about 350 million years this provides a unique opportunity to conduct a comparative genomics study of the synapse. Results We compiled a list of 120 gene prototypes that comprise the core of presynaptic structures in insects. Insects lack several scaffolding proteins in the active zone such as bassoon and piccollo and the most abundant protein in the mammalian synaptic vesicle namely synaptophysin. The pattern of evolution of synaptic protein complexes is analyzed. According to this analysis the components of presynaptic complexes as well as proteins that take part in organelle biogenesis are tightly coordinated. .
