hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
brp[nude] mutants exhibit significantly reduced survival rates and motor abilities. brp[nude] mutant neuromuscular junctions exhibit a normal number of active zones and normal cytomatrix distribution, with wild-type levels of dense bodies. Furthermore, the diameter of the synaptic vesicles as well as the total number of synaptic vesicles per bouton section are unchanged in brp[nude] mutants. brp[nude] mutant synapses display normal Ca[2+] channel distribution. EPSCs evoked at 0.2Hz at brp[nude] mutant synapses do not differ in terms of their peak amplitude, rise time, or decay time constant from those of controls. Depression decay during paired-pulse stimulation is stronger in brp[nude] mutants, as quantified by a reduction in the steady-state EPSC amplitude at the end of the train to 35% compared to 52% in controls. Consistent with the altered paired-pulse ratio, the amplitude of the second EPSC in the train is already significantly reduced to 80% at brp[nude] synapses. brp[nude] mutant synapses display enhanced depression during sustained high frequency transmission. Consistently, the first component of recovery is slower, whilst the second component is unaltered.
