Abstract Neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) are evolutionarily ancient, specialized contacts between neurons and muscles. They endure mechanical strain from muscle contractions throughout life, but cellular mechanisms for managing this stress remain unclear. Here we identify a novel actomyosin structure at Drosophila larval NMJs, consisting of a long-lived, low-turnover presynaptic actin core that co-localizes with non-muscle myosin II (NMII).
Background Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2 (CMT2) neuropathy is characterised by a vast clinical and genetic heterogeneity complicating its diagnosis and therapeutic intervention. Identification of molecular signatures that are common to multiple CMT2 subtypes can aid in developing therapeutic strategies and measuring disease outcomes.
