text: The coupling between Ca2+ channels and release sensors is a key factor defining
the signaling properties of a synapse. However, the coupling nanotopography at
many synapses remains unknown, and it is unclear how it changes during development.
To address these questions, we examined coupling at the cerebellar inhibitory
basket cell (BC)-Purkinje cell (PC) synapse. Biophysical analysis of transmission
by paired recording and intracellular pipette perfusion revealed that the effects
of exogenous Ca2+ chelators decreased during development, despite constant reliance
of release on P/Q-type Ca2+ channels. Structural analysis by freeze-fracture replica
labeling (FRL) and transmission electron microscopy (EM) indicated that presynaptic
P/Q-type Ca2+ channels formed nanoclusters throughout development, whereas docked
vesicles were only clustered at later developmental stages. Modeling suggested
a developmental transformation from a more random to a more clustered coupling
nanotopography. Thus, presynaptic signaling developmentally approaches a point-to-point
configuration, optimizing speed, reliability, and energy efficiency of synaptic
transmission.
