TL;DR: Muscarinic AChRs belong to a completely different superfamily of receptors, with rhodopsin, adrenergic, and serotonin receptors as members, and mediate their action through coupling proteins (G-proteins) (Kerlavage, 1987; Julius et al., 1988).
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutations causing muscle weakness.
TL;DR: Mutations in critical components of the neuromuscular junction or autoimmune responses to them cause muscle weakness and fatigability termed “myasthenia.”
Journal ArticleDOI
Acetylcholine receptor-specific T cells are present in the normal immune repertoire. A study with recombinant polypeptides of the human acetylcholine receptor alpha-subunit.
Expression of cDNAs for acetylcholine receptor subunits in the yeast cell plasma membrane.
TL;DR: Yeast cells transformed with a plasmid containing cDNA encoding the alpha or delta subunit of the Torpedo californica acetylcholine receptor synthesize a protein, demonstrating for the first time that yeast has the apparatus to express and insert foreign proteins into its plasma membrane.
