Sleep might homeostatically normalize synaptic gains made over wake states in order to reset information processing and storage and support learning, and sleep-associated synaptic (ultra)structural changes have been demonstrated recently. However, causal relationships between the molecular and (ultra)structural status of synapses, sleep homeostatic regulation, and learning processes have yet to be established. We show here that the status of the presynaptic active zone can directly control sleep in Drosophila. Short sleep mutants showed a brain-wide upregulation of core presynaptic scaffold proteins and release factors. Increasing the gene copy number of ELKS-family scaffold master organizer Bruchpilot (BRP) not only mimicked changes in the active zone scaffold and release proteins but importantly provoked sleep in a dosage-dependent manner, qualitatively and quantitatively reminiscent of sleep deprivation effects. Conversely, reducing the brp copy number decreased sleep in short sleep mutant backgrounds, suggesting a specific role of the active zone plasticity in homeostatic sleep regulation. Finally, elimination of BRP specifically in the sleep-promoting R2 neurons of 4xBRP animals partially restored sleep patterns and rescued learning deficits. Our results suggest that the presynaptic active zone plasticity driven by BRP operates as a sleep homeostatic actuator that also restricts periods of effective learning."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.cub.2020.01.019"],["dc.identifier.pmid","32142702"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/113043"],["dc.identifier.url","https://for2705.de/literature/publications/13"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation","FOR 2705: Dissection of a Brain Circuit: Structure, Plasticity and Behavioral Function of the Drosophila Mushroom Body"],["dc.relation","FOR 2705 | TP 5: Postsynaptic receptor plasticity and transsynaptic communication in storage of memory components in the mushroom bodies"],["dc.relation.eissn","1879-0445"],["dc.relation.issn","0960-9822"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Sigrist (Genetics)"],["dc.title","Presynaptic Active Zone Plasticity Encodes Sleep Need in Drosophila"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Recent analysis of the Drosophila olfactory system showed that Unc13A, a member of the M(Unc13) release factor family, promotes a phasic, high release probability component, while Unc13B supports a slower tonic release component, reflecting their different nanoscopic positioning within individual active zones. We here use STED super-resolution microscopy of MB lobe synapses to show that Unc13A clusters closer to the active zone centre than Unc13B. Unc13A specifically supported phasic transmission and short-term plasticity of Kenyon cell:output neuron synapses, measured by combining electrophysiological recordings of output neurons with optogenetic stimulation. Knockdown of unc13A within Kenyon cells provoked drastic deficits of olfactory aversive short-term and anaesthesia-sensitive middle-term memory. Knockdown of unc13B provoked milder memory deficits. Thus, a low frequency domain transmission component is probably crucial for the proper representation of memory-associated activity patterns, consistent with sparse Kenyon cell activation during memory acquisition and retrieval. Notably, Unc13A/B ratios appeared highly diversified across MB lobes, leaving room for an interplay of activity components in memory encoding and retrieval."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1080/01677063.2019.1710146"],["dc.identifier.pmid","31980003"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/113047"],["dc.identifier.url","https://for2705.de/literature/publications/17"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation","FOR 2705: Dissection of a Brain Circuit: Structure, Plasticity and Behavioral Function of the Drosophila Mushroom Body"],["dc.relation","FOR 2705 | TP 5: Postsynaptic receptor plasticity and transsynaptic communication in storage of memory components in the mushroom bodies"],["dc.relation.eissn","1563-5260"],["dc.relation.issn","0167-7063"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Sigrist (Genetics)"],["dc.title","The Unc13A isoform is important for phasic release and olfactory memory formation at mushroom body synapses"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
