Detection of Mouse MuSK by Western Blot Sorbs1 is enriched at AChR aggregates, and Sorbs1 RNAi blocks AChR clustering in vitro. (A) Treatment of myotubes with siRNA directed against Sorbs1 blocks AChR clustering in C2C12 cells. Montages containing sixteen fields at a magnification of 10× were analyzed with ImageJ software (NIH). (B) Sorbs1 siRNA significantly reduces Sorbs1 protein expression in myotubes. (C) Sorbs1 protein is highly enriched at sites where AChRs aggregate. (D) Agrin stimulates tyrosine phosphorylation of MuSK and Dok-7 at similar levels in myotubes treated with Sorbs1 siRNA.

Background: MuSK
MuSK (muscle-specific kinase) is a 100 kDa type I transmembrane (TM) protein belonging to the receptor tyrosine kinase family. It is found in the postsynaptic membrane of skeletal muscle motor endplates. MuSK does not bind agrin directly, but is part of an agrin receptor complex that promotes the clustering of acetylcholine receptor at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). Over residues 22‑503, human MuSK shares 92% amino acid sequence identity with mouse MuSK. Human MuSK apparently has multiple isoforms. One contains deletions at residues 307‑394 and 454‑461, while a second is a short soluble form that contains residues 120‑209 plus a unique 24 aa C‑terminal tail.

C2C12 differentiated myotubes, following IP with an anti-MuSK antibody (different from this Ab), SDS-PAGE, and transferred into PVDF membrane. After blocking with 5% BSA/TBST, blot was probed with 1:400 of AF562 (4C, o/n). Subsequent probing with a HRP-anti-goat secondary Ab yielded excellent publishable results, with 100 kDa MuSK band visible.
Differentiated C2C12 mouse skeletal muscle lysates IP'ed for MuSK using a donated Ab. IP works well and I can detect phosphorylation of MuSK using a general phosphotyrosine Ab, but upon stripping, blocking, and probing with this Ab, I am unable to detect MuSK (perhaps due to high background signal). Probing with a different MuSK Ab is much cleaner
