摘要: Mice deficient in the glycosyltransferase Large are characterized by severe muscle and central nervous system abnormalities. In this study, we show that formation maintenance of neuromuscular junctions Largemyd mice greatly compromised. Neuromuscular not confined to endplate zone but widely spread frequently accompanied exuberant nerve sprouting. Nerve terminals highly fragmented binding α-bungarotoxin postsynaptic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) is reduced. vitro, myotubes responsive agrin produce aberrant AChR clusters, which larger area less densely packed with AChRs. addition, expression on cell surface diminished suggesting assembly or transport defective. These results together finding O-linked glycosylation at compromised indicate action necessary for proper junction development.
