AChR-inducing activity (ARIA)/heregulin, a ligand for erbB receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), is likely to be one nerve-supplied signal that induces expression of acetylcholine receptor (AChR) genes at the developing neuromuscular junction. Since some RTKs act through Ras and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), we investigated the role of these pathways in ARIA signaling. Expression of activat...
The three-dimensional structure of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) from Torpedo californica, crystallized both before and after removal of associated proteins, most notably the main 43-kD cytoskeletal protein that interacts both with AChR and actin, is determined to a resolution of 22 A. This is the first structural analysis where the 43-kD protein has been removed from the sample b...
The detection of serum anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies is currently an important tool for diagnosing myasthenia gravis (MG) since they are present in about 85% MG patients. Many serological tests now available. Nevertheless, results from these can be different some aim this study to compare the sensitivity a commercially available fixed cell-based assay (F-CBA) that enzyme-linked ...
At neuromuscular synapses, neural agrin (n-agrin) stabilizes embryonic postsynaptic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clusters by signalling through the muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) complex. Live imaging of cultured myotubes showed that the formation and disassembly of primitive AChR clusters is a dynamic and reversible process favoured by n-agrin, and possibly other synaptic signals. Neuregulin-1...
One of the earliest events in neuromuscular junction (NMJ) development is the accumulation of acetylcholine receptor (AChR) at the center of muscle cells. The unplugged/MuSK (muscle specific tyrosine kinase) gene is essential to initiate AChR clustering but also to restrict approaching growth cones to the muscle center, thereby coordinating pre- and postsynaptic development. To determine how un...
A new proprietary de novo peptide design technique generated ten 15-residue peptides targeting and containing the leading nontransmembrane hydrophobic autocorrelation wavelengths, "modes", of the human m(1) muscarinic cholinergic receptor, m(1)AChR. These modes were also shared by the m(4)AChR subtype (but not the m(2), m(3), or m(5) subtypes) and the three-finger snake toxins that pseudoirreve...
OBJECTIVE Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune condition in which neurotransmission is impaired by binding of autoantibodies to acetylcholine receptors (AChR) or, in a minority of patients, to muscle specific kinase (MuSK). There are differences in the dominant IgG subclass, pathogenic mechanisms, and treatment responses between the two MG subtypes (AChR or MuSK). The antibodies are thought ...
After fixation with glutaraldehyde and impregnation with tannic acid, the membrane that underlies the nerve terminals in Torpedo marmorata electroplaque presents a typical asymmetric triple-layered structure with an unusual thickness; in addition, it is coated with electron-dense material on its inner, cytoplasmic face. Filamentous structures are frequently found attached to these "subsynaptic ...
Passive transfer of experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG) was achieved using the gamma globulin fraction and purified IgG from sera of rats immunized with Electrophus electricus (eel) acetylcholine receptor (AChR). This demonstrates the critical role of anti-AChR antibodies in impairing neuromuscular transmission in EAMG. Passive transfer of anti-AChR antibodies from rats with chroni...
