t-bar (with Df(2R)ED2076)
At the neuromuscular junction of Rab3rup/Df(2R)ED2076 third instar larvae, there is a significant decrease in the percentage of GluRIIC clusters apposed by brp active zones and a significant increase in brp area. Phenotypes are indistinguishable from those seen in Rab3-GEFSC225/Df(1)ED7289 larvae. Voltage-clamp recordings from muscles at the NMJ of Rab3-GEFSC225/Df(1)ED7289 third instar larvae reveal that spontaneous miniature EJC amplitude and EJC amplitude evoked by low frequency stimuli (in 0.4mM Ca[2+]) is similar to wild type; however, short-term facilitation is nearly absent in Rab3rup/Df(2R)ED2076 larvae (occurs in wild type with high-frequency stimulation along with low extracellular calcium).
Unlike wild type (almost all GluRIIC clusters, which localize opposite release sites, are apposed to brp, which marks presynaptic active zones), only around one third of GluRIIC clusters are apposed to brp and active zones (brp area) are significantly larger at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) of Rab3rup/Df(2R)ED2076 third instar larvae.
Rab3rup/Df(2R)ED2076 larvae are similar to wild type in terms of spontaneous miniature excitatory junctional (mEJC) amplitude, EJC amplitude (evoked by a single action potential) and quantal content, but are defective in short-term facilitation (muscle 6 NMJs from segments A3 and A4).
The active zone cytomatrix of the active zones is significantly enlarged compared to controls (assayed using direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy).
Both paired pulse-stimulation and high-frequency trains of activity produced pronounced short-term depression of evoked excitatory postsynaptic currents in mutant larval neuromuscular junctions.
Rab3rup mutant neuromuscular junctions exhibit average mEPSPs, EPSP amplitudes, and quantal contents that are similar to wild-type.
Rab3rup mutants challenged with philanthotoxin-433 (PhTX) exhibit a significant decrease in mEPSP amplitude with respect to controls. Following application of PhTX, Rab3rup mutants exhibit a robust increase in quantal content that restores EPSP amplitudes towards wild-type. Although EPSP amplitudes remain significantly smaller than baseline, this difference is relatively small and there is a pronounced, significant increase in quantal content indicative of a clear homeostatic increase in presynaptic release.
Rab3rup/Df(2R)ED2076 mutant neuromuscular junctions only exhibit synaptic activity at a subset of 'enriched' active zones. The density of transmission spots is reduced by half in these mutants. Evoked excitatory post-synaptic current amplitudes are larger by 50% in these mutants in 1.5mM external Ca[2+] concentration than in controls. These mutants show a decrease in short-term facilitation.
The gross morphology of the mutant third larval instar neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is normal, and the synaptic terminal area is not significantly different from wild type.
Ultrastructurally, the active zone length at the Rab3rup/Df(2R)ED2076 larval NMJ is no different from wild type, while active zone number per micron is mildly reduced. The ratio of T bars to active zones is normal at the mutant NMJ. However, the distribution of T bars at the active zones is dramatically altered, with a 30% decrease in the proportion of active zone sections with a T bar and a more than 3-fold increase in the proportion of T-bar positive active zone sections with multiple T bars. Active zones with 3, 4 and 5 T bars are seen in the mutant NMJ (the largest number of T bars seen at a single active zone in wild type is 2). The distribution of synaptic vesicles in the active zone regions is normal in Rab3rup/Df(2R)ED2076 larvae.
The amplitude of the evoked excitatory junctional current (EJC) and of the spontaneous miniature EJC is normal in mutant neuromuscular junctions, and thus the quantal content (EJC/mEJC) is normal.
At a stimulation frequency of 10Hz in 0.40 mM Ca[2+], both wild-type and Rab3rup/Df(2R)ED2076 NMJs facilitate, but facilitation is significantly decreased in the mutant.

A significant, nearly 2-fold increase in quantal content is observed following PhTX treatment in the double mutant compared to controls, indicating that rab3-GAPc04953 Rab3rup double mutants undergo synaptic homeostasis.
