Figure(s):Figure 5
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.

- 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.
