RIC-3 (resistant toinhibitor ofcholinesterase) is a transmembrane protein, found in invertebrates and vertebrates, that modulates the surface expression of a variety of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in neurons and other cells. To underst

SummaryMotoneuron-derived agrin clusters nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) in mammalian muscle cells. We used two-hybrid screens to identify a protein, tumorous imaginal discs (Tid1), that binds to the cytoplasmic domain of muscle-specific ki

Neurotoxins from snake venoms act as potent antagonists on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). Alpha-neurotoxins such as alpha-bungarotoxin (alpha-Btx) selectively bind to the skeletal muscle nAChRs among other subtypes, causing failure o

Myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs), muscle-specific transcription factors, are implicated in the activity-dependent regulation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) subunit genes. Here we show, with immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, and el

Parkinson's disease is associated with severe motor dysfunctions due to a progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra. Transplantation of midbrain neurons from human fetuses to the striatum of patients provides effective treatment fo

Surface expression of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) requires the assembly of multiple subunits in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Little is known, however, about the mechanism by which assembled receptor pentamers are transported to the

The alpha subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) from Torpedo electric organ and mammalian muscle contains high affinity binding sites for alpha-bungarotoxin and for autoimmune antibodies in sera of patients with myasthenia gravis. To

Although the metabolic half-life of muscle endplate acetylcholine receptor (AChR) changes during development and after denervation in the adult, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that influence receptor stability. We have investigated th

To investigate the mechanism of assembly of the mouse muscle acetylcholine receptor, we have expressed truncated N-terminal fragments of the α and δ subunits in COS cells and have examined their ability to fold, to associate into heterodimers, and

Agrin isoforms with different bioactivities are synthesized by the nerve and the muscle. Neural agrin containing an 8-amino acid insert (z8) introduced by alternative splicing is the active form that induces synaptic differentiation at the neuromuscu
