In a majority of patients with myasthenia gravis (MG), anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies target postsynaptic AChR clusters and thus compromise the membrane integrity of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) and lead to muscle weakness. Antibody-

BACKGROUND: The assembly of the vertebrate neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is initiated when nerve and muscle first contact each other by filopodial processes which are thought to enable close interactions between the synaptic partners and facilitate sy

BACKGROUND: The formation of acetylcholine receptor (AChR) cluster is a key event during the development of the neuromuscular junction. It is induced through the activation of muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) by the heparan-sulfate proteoglycan agrin re

BACKGROUND:Postsynaptic enrichment of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) at the vertebrate neuromuscular junction (NMJ) depends on the activation of the muscle receptor tyrosine MuSK by neural agrin. Agrin-stimulation of MuSK is known to initiate an int

We have carried out a comparative study of the lateral motion of ganglioside GM1, which is a glycosphingolipid residing on the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane, and acetylcholine receptor (AChR), which is a well-characterized ion channel. Both th

The formation of acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clusters at the postsynaptic muscle membrane in response to motor innervation is a key event in the development of the neuromuscular junction. The synaptic AChR clustering process is initiated by motor a

Objective Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the gene ataxin-2 (ATXN2). ATXN2 intermediate-length CAG expansions were identified as a risk factor for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (

The signaling by p120 catenin via its downstream effector RhoA is essential for filopodial growth and synaptic vesicle clustering along spinal axons and contributes to the formation of the neuromuscular junction.

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are heteropentameric ligand-gated ion channels that mediate excitatory neurotransmission at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) and other peripheral and central synapses. At the NMJ, acetylcholine receptors (AC

Axonal growth and synaptogenesis are sequential events of neuronal development. Phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) is expressed in motor neurons, and its disruption leads to continued axonal extension, even upon muscle contact, leading to synapt
