Caveolin-3 Promotes Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Clustering and Regulates Neuromuscular Junction Activity
The molecular mechanisms that regulate the organization and activity of the neuromuscular junction remain to be fully identified. Caveolae are invaginations of the plasma membrane. Caveolin-3 is the structural protein component of caveolae in muscle cells. We show that caveolin-3 is expressed at the neuromuscular junction, that it associates with the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), an...
متن کاملR-spondin 2 promotes acetylcholine receptor clustering at the neuromuscular junction via Lgr5
At the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clustering is mediated by spinal motor neuron (SMN)-derived agrin and its receptors on the muscle, the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 4 (LRP4) and muscle-specific receptor tyrosine kinase (MuSK). Additionally, AChR clustering is mediated by the components of the Wnt pathway. Laser capture microdissection of SMN...

متن کاملNeurotransmission regulates stability of acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction.
The majority of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) at normally innervated neuromuscular junctions are stable, with a half-life averaging about 12 d in most rodent muscles. Following denervation, the AChRs turn over much more rapidly after a lag period. The mechanism by which motor nerves normally maintain stabilization of junctional AChRs is not yet known. In order to determine whether synaptic tr...
متن کاملWnt/ -Catenin Signaling Suppresses Rapsyn Expression and Inhibits Acetylcholine Receptor Clustering at the Neuromuscular Junction*
The dynamic interaction between positive and negative signals is necessary for remodeling of postsynaptic structures at the neuromuscular junction. Here we report that Wnt3a negatively regulates acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clustering by repressing the expression of Rapsyn, an AChR-associated protein essential for AChR clustering. In cultured myotubes, treatment withWnt3a or overexpression of ...
