Presynaptic domains reshape during the 4th larval stage (L4) to adult transition. The proportion of puncta with an enlarged shape was analyzed. Puncta were binned into three categories based on the area [(<1.05, wild type like), (1.05-1.40, unc-2 like) and (>1.40, nid-1 like)]. During late L4 in wild type 35% of the puncta were enlarged and appeared nid-1 like, compared to only 14% in young adults. In contrast, the percent of puncta in unc-2 animals in any of the categories was not changed during the L4 developmental stage. N >150 puncta/genotype/stage.
