| Annotation description: | It is demonstrated that RIM-BP2 clusters calcium channels to the active zone. The authors use STED microscopy and an antibody against Cav2.1 to show that genetic deletion of RIM-BP2 increases the distance between active zone markers and calcium channels, and electrophysiology to show a modest reduction in release probability. This is in line with findings in the fly NMJ, where removal of RIM-BP leads to a reduction in calcium channel density at the active zone. 3/2/2017 Pim - effect on Ca2+ sensitivity of SV release in Fig.3 (no effect found on global Ca2+-concentration) - effect on VGCC localization shown in Fig.4 - effect on synaptic transmission (STP) shown in Fig.2 (and 3) |

| Additional literature: | Liu at al. showed that RIMBP knockout in drosophila has a similar phenotype. @ PMID:22174254 Acuna et.al. used a RIMBP1/2 double knockout and found a similar phenotype, although it proposes a different working model. @ PMID:26402606 |
