pubmed:abstractText
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are initially expressed diffusely on the surface of myotubes and, in response to neuronally derived factors, cluster at the endplate to a final concentration of approximately 10000/microm2. The synaptic peripheral membrane protein rapsyn has been shown to mediate clustering of nAChRs in several systems. Here we describe the use of the yeast two-hybrid system to identify proteins that can interact with rapsyn. One of the clones we have identified is a Torpedo californica homolog of the Src-associated in mitosis protein (Sam68). We further show that Sam68, like rapsyn, is localized at the neuromuscular junction.
