We employed genetic manipulation to bring forth and segregate the role of Piccolo from that of Bassoon at central auditory synapses of the cochlear nucleus-the endbulbs of Held. These synapses specialize in high frequency synaptic transmission, ideally poised to reveal even subtle deficits in the regulation of neurotransmitter release upon molecular perturbation. Combining semi-quantitative immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, and in vitro and in vivo electrophysiology we first studied signal transmission in Piccolo-deficient mice. Our analysis was not confounded by a cochlear deficit, as a short isoform of Piccolo (\"Piccolino\") present at the upstream ribbon synapses of cochlear inner hair cells (IHC), is unaffected by the mutation. Disruption of Piccolo increased the abundance of Bassoon at the AZs of endbulbs, while that of RIM1 was reduced and other CAZ proteins remained unaltered. Presynaptic fiber stimulation revealed smaller amplitude of the evoked excitatory postsynaptic currents (eEPSC), while eEPSC kinetics as well as miniature EPSCs (mEPSCs) remained unchanged. Cumulative analysis of eEPSC trains indicated that the reduced eEPSC amplitude of Piccolo-deficient endbulb synapses is primarily due to a reduced readily releasable pool (RRP) of synaptic vesicles (SV), as was corroborated by a reduction of vesicles at the AZ found on an ultrastructural level. Release probability seemed largely unaltered. Recovery from short-term depression was slowed. We then performed a physiological analysis of endbulb synapses from mice which, in addition to Piccolo deficiency, lacked one functional allele of the Bassoon gene. Analysis of the double-mutant endbulbs revealed an increase in release probability, while the synapses still exhibited the reduced RRP, and the impairment in SV replenishment was exacerbated. We propose additive roles of Piccolo and Bassoon in SV replenishment which in turn influences the organization and size of the RRP, and an additional role of Bassoon in regulation of release probability."],["dc.format.extent","1"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3389/fnsyn.2017.00014"],["dc.identifier.pmid","29118709"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/11685"],["dc.identifier.url","https://sfb1286.uni-goettingen.de/literature/publications/33"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DeepGreen Import"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation","SFB 1286: Quantitative Synaptologie"],["dc.relation","SFB 1286 | A04: Aktivitätsabhängige morphologische Veränderungen am Endkolben von Held-Synapsen"],["dc.relation","SFB 1286 | B05: Quantitative molekulare Physiologie aktiver Zonen in Calyx-Synapsen"],["dc.relation.eissn","1663-3563"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Moser (Molecular Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology of Sound Encoding)"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Wichmann (Molecular Architecture of Synapses)"],["dc.rights","http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"],["dc.title","Piccolo Promotes Vesicle Replenishment at a Fast Central Auditory Synapse"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The sophisticated molecular machinery of the inner hair cell active zone realizes this impressive performance by enabling a large number of synaptic voltage-gated CaV1.3 Ca2+-channels, their tight coupling to synaptic vesicles (SVs) and fast replenishment of fusion competent SVs. Here we studied the role of RIM-binding protein 2 (RIM-BP2)-a multidomain cytomatrix protein known to directly interact with Rab3 interacting molecules (RIMs), bassoon and CaV1.3-that is present at the inner hair cell active zones. We combined confocal and stimulated emission depletion (STED) immunofluorescence microscopy, electron tomography, patch-clamp and confocal Ca2+-imaging, as well as auditory systems physiology to explore the morphological and functional effects of genetic RIM-BP2 disruption in constitutive RIM-BP2 knockout mice. We found that RIM-BP2 (1) positively regulates the number of synaptic CaV1.3 channels and thereby facilitates synaptic vesicle release and (2) supports fast synaptic vesicle recruitment after readily releasable pool (RRP) depletion. However, Ca2+-influx-exocytosis coupling seemed unaltered for readily releasable SVs. Recordings of auditory brainstem responses (ABR) and of single auditory nerve fiber firing showed that RIM-BP2 disruption results in a mild deficit of synaptic sound encoding."],["dc.format.extent","1"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3389/fncel.2017.00334"],["dc.identifier.pmid","29163046"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/14890"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/11684"],["dc.identifier.url","https://sfb1286.uni-goettingen.de/literature/publications/30"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation","SFB 1286: Quantitative Synaptologie"],["dc.relation","SFB 1286 | A04: Aktivitätsabhängige morphologische Veränderungen am Endkolben von Held-Synapsen"],["dc.relation","SFB 1286 | B05: Quantitative molekulare Physiologie aktiver Zonen in Calyx-Synapsen"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Moser (Molecular Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology of Sound Encoding)"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Wichmann (Molecular Architecture of Synapses)"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","RIM-Binding Protein 2 Promotes a Large Number of CaV1.3 Ca2+-Channels and Contributes to Fast Synaptic Vesicle Replenishment at Hair Cell Active Zones"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
