Quantification of the relative accumulation of the indicated synaptic proteins at newly forming AZs (Δt = ∼12 h). A synaptic site was scored positive (+) or negative (−) for a specific protein depending on whether protein fluorescence signals exceeded the mean background level by >2.5-fold. For example, when comparing BRP and DGluRIIA (at synapses forming newly over 12 h), 44% were positive for both proteins, 0% for BRP only, and 56% for DGluRIIA only.
