General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Receptor tyrosine kinase which plays a central role in the formation and the maintenance of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), the synapse between the motor neuron and the skeletal muscle. Recruitment of AGRIN by LRP4 to the MUSK signaling complex induces phosphorylation and activation of MUSK, the kinase of the complex. The activation of MUSK in myotubes regulates the formation of NMJs through the regulation of different processes including the specific expression of genes in subsynaptic nuclei, the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and the clustering of the acetylcholine receptors (AChR) in the postsynaptic membrane. May regulate AChR phosphorylation and clustering through activation of ABL1 and Src family kinases which in turn regulate MUSK. DVL1 and PAK1 that form a ternary complex with MUSK are also important for MUSK-dependent regulation of AChR clustering. May positively regulate Rho family GTPases through FNTA. Mediates the phosphorylation of FNTA which promotes prenylation, recruitment to membranes and activation of RAC1 a regulator of the actin cytoskeleton and of gene expression. Other effectors of the MUSK signaling include DNAJA3 which functions downstream of MUSK. May also play a role within the central nervous system by mediating cholinergic responses, synaptic plasticity and memory formation By similarity. |
| Catalytic activity | ATP + a [protein]-L-tyrosine = ADP + a [protein]-L-tyrosine phosphate. |
| Enzyme regulation | Positively regulated by CK2 By similarity. |
| Subunit structure | Monomer By similarity. Homodimer Probable. Interacts with LRP4; the heterodimer forms an AGRIN receptor complex that binds AGRIN resulting in activation of MUSK By similarity. Forms a heterotetramer composed of 2 DOK7 and 2 MUSK molecules which facilitates MUSK trans-autophosphorylation on tyrosine residue and activation. Interacts (via cytoplasmic part) with DOK7 (via IRS-type PTB domain); requires MUSK phosphorylation. Interacts with DVL1 (via DEP domain); the interaction is direct and mediates the formation of a DVL1, MUSK and PAK1 ternary complex involved in AChR clustering By similarity. Interacts with PDZRN3; this interaction is enhanced by agrin By similarity. Interacts with FNTA; the interaction is direct and mediates AGRIN-induced phosphorylation and activation of FNTA By similarity. Interacts with CSNK2B; mediates regulation by CK2 By similarity. Interacts (via the cytoplasmic domain) with DNAJA3 By similarity. Interacts with NSF; may regulate MUSK endocytosis and activity By similarity. Interacts with CAV3; may regulate MUSK signaling By similarity. Interacts with RNF31 By similarity. Ref.4 |
| Subcellular location | Cell junction › synapse › postsynaptic cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein Probable. Note: Localizes to the postsynaptic cell membrane of the neuromuscular junction Probable. |
| Post-translational modification | Ubiquitinated by PDZRN3. Ubiquitination promotes endocytosis and lysosomal degradation By similarity. Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation is induced by AGRIN. Autophosphorylation at Tyr-554 is required for interaction with DOK7 which in turn stimulates the phosphorylation and the activation of MUSK. |
| Involvement in disease | Myasthenic syndrome, congenital, associated with acetylcholine receptor deficiency (CMS-ACHRD) [MIM:608931]: A post-synaptic congenital myasthenic syndrome. Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are inherited disorders of neuromuscular transmission that stem from mutations in presynaptic, synaptic, or postsynaptic proteins. |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Tyr protein kinase family. Contains 1 FZ (frizzled) domain. Contains 3 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains. Contains 1 protein kinase domain. |
| Sequence caution | The sequence CAH69977.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous gene model prediction. The sequence CAH69978.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous gene model prediction. The sequence CAI17349.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous gene model prediction. The sequence CAI17350.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous gene model prediction. |
