Study traced the cause of congenital myasthenia syndrome in unrelated patients with dominant missense mutations in the M2 domain of AChR. A valine residue is replaced by a smaller alanine either in the epsilon subunit or an equivalent position in the beta one. Also, each valine in the valine ring was found to contribute to channel kinetics equally, and the valine ring has bee optimized during evolution to govern channe... | Mutations Causing Slow-Channel Myasthenia Reveal That a Valine Ring in the Channel Pore of Muscle AChR is Optimized for Stabilizing Channel Gating.
