Climbing fiber (CF) synapse formation onto cerebellar Purkinje
cells (PCs) is critically dependent on the synaptogenesis from parallel
fibers (PFs), the other input to PCs. Previous studies revealed that
deletion of the glutamate receptor 2 subunit (GluR 2) gene results
in persistent multiple CF innervation of PCs with impaired PF
synaptogenesis, whereas mutation of the metabotropic glutamate receptor
subtype 1 (mGluR1) gene causes multiple CF innervation with normal PF
synaptogenesis. We demonstrate that atypical CF-mediated EPSCs
(CF-EPSCs) with slow rise times and small amplitudes coexisted with
typical CF-EPSCs with fast rise times and large amplitudes in PCs from
GluR 2 mutant cerebellar slices. CF-EPSCs in mGluR1 mutant and
wild-type PCs had fast rise times. Atypical slow CF responses of
GluR 2 mutant PCs were associated with voltage-dependent
Ca2+ signals that were confined to PC distal
dendrites. In the wild-type and mGluR1 mutant PCs, CF-induced
Ca2+ signals involved both proximal and distal
dendrites. Morphologically, CFs of GluR 2 mutant mice extended to the
superficial regions of the molecular layer, whereas those of wild-type
and mGluR1 mutant mice did not innervate the superficial one-fifth of
the molecular layer. It is therefore likely that surplus CFs of
GluR 2 mutant mice form ectopic synapses onto distal dendrites,
whereas those of wild-type and mGluR1 mutant mice innervate proximal
dendrites. These findings suggest that GluR 2 is required for
consolidating PF synapses and restricting CF synapses to the proximal
dendrites, whereas the mGluR1-signaling pathway does not affect PF
synaptogenesis but is involved in eliminating surplus CF synapses at
the proximal dendrites.
