Neuromuscular junction (NMJ) formation and maintenance depend on the proper localization and concentration of various molecules at synaptic contact sites. Acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clustering on the postsynaptic membrane is a cardinal event in NMJ formation. Muscle-specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK), which functions depending on its phosphorylation, plays an essential role in AChR clustering. In the present study, we used plasmid-based biochemical screening and determined that protein tyrosine ...[more]
