Abstract

Neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) are peripheral synapses between motoneurons and skeletal muscle fibers that are critical for the control of muscle contraction. Dysfunction of these synapses has been implicated in congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS). In vertebrates, agrin-LRP4-MuSK signaling plays a critical role in acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clustering and NMJ formation. The adaptor protein DOK7 is the downstream substrate of MuSK and also a cytoplasmic activator of MuSK. The role of DOK7 in the promotion of AChR clustering and the mechanisms involved have been well studied; however, the negative regulation of DOK7 after MuSK activation remains unknown. Anaphase-promoting complex 2 (APC2), the core subunit of APC/C E3 ligase complex, was originally believed to regulate cell-cycle transitions. Here, we show that APC2 is enriched at post-synapse of NMJs in postmitotic myotubes. In response to agrin stimulation, APC2 negatively regulates AChR clustering by promoting the ubiquitination of DOK7 at lysine 243 for its proteolytic degradation, which relies on MuSK kinase activity and the phosphorylation of tyrosine 106 in DOK7. Thus, this study provides a mechanism whereby agrin signaling is negatively regulated as part of vertebrat...Continue Reading
