Annotation description: | Crk-L is a postsynaptic protein which plays a crucial role in NMJ synapse formation concomitantly with CrkI/II, by directly interacting with Dok-7. Fig.3: "Dok-7 tyrosine phosphorylation plays a critical role in AChR clustering" - "(A,B) Overexpression of wild-type Dok-7 stimulated AChR clustering (~50-fold), independently of Agrin. Mutation of either Y396 or Y406 impaired AChR clustering, and mutation of both residues reduced AChR clustering still further" |
