Annotation description: | RIM1/RIM2 knockout neurons display a reduction in action potential-induced presynaptic calcium influx (Figure 5). RIM1 acts by regulating the presynaptic localization of voltage-gated calcium channels (Figure 8), mediated by its PDZ domain (Figure 7). Due to their high homology, RIM1 and RIM2 are assumed to be redundant for this process. 23/01/2017 Pim - effect on Ca influx show in Fig.5 - effect on VGCC localization shown in Fig.8 - effect on synaptic transmission shown in Fig.3 10/2/2017 Pim: Note: in Fig.8 the IMP of RIM1/RIM2 KO is rescued with overexpression of RIM1; the IMP is really at the level of both RIM1 and RIM2, the RIM1-rescue is merely a control that demostrated specificty of the observed effect. |
