| Abstract | The muscle-specific receptor tyrosine kinase (MuSK) is part of a receptor complex, activated by neural agrin, that orchestrates the differentiation of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). To gain insight into the function of the MuSK complex, we have developed a proteomic approach to identify new MuSK partners. MS analysis of MuSK crosslink products from postsynaptic membranes of the Torpedo electrocytes identified the adaptor protein 14-3-3 γ. The 14-3-3 γ protein was found localized at the adult rat NMJ. Cotransfection experiments in COS-7 cells showed that MuSK codistributed with the 14-3-3 γ protein at the plasma membrane. Furthermore, 14-3-3 γ was copurified by affinity chromatography with MuSK from transfected COS-7 cells and myotubes. The 14-3-3 γ protein did not colocalize with agrin-elicited acetylcholine receptor (AChR) aggregates in cultured myotubes, suggesting that it is not involved in AChR clustering. Expression of 14-3-3 γ specifically repressed the transcription of several synaptic reporter genes in cultured myotubes. This repression was potentiated by MuSK expression. Moreover, the expression of 14-3-3 γ in muscle fibers in vivo caused both the repression of synaptic genes transcription and morphological perturbations of the NMJ. Our data extend the notion that, apart from its well documented role in AChR clustering, the MuSK complex might also be involved in the regulation of synaptic gene expression at the NMJ. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
