Mitochondrial dysfunction and consequences in calpain-3-deficient muscle [PDF]

open access: yesSkeletal Muscle, 2020
Background Nonsense or loss-of-function mutations in the non-lysosomal cysteine protease calpain-3 result in limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A (LGMD2A).

The Role of Integrin β1D Mislocalization in the Pathophysiology of Calpain 3-Related Limb–Girdle Muscular Dystrophy [PDF]

open access: yesCells
Limb–girdle muscular dystrophy R1 (LGMDR1) is characterized by progressive proximal muscle weakness due to mutations in the CAPN3 gene. Little is known about CAPN3’s function in muscle, but its loss results in aberrant sarcomere formation.

Calpain 3 is important for muscle regeneration: Evidence from patients with limb girdle muscular dystrophies [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2012
Background Limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) type 2A is caused by mutations in the CAPN3 gene and complete lack of functional calpain 3 leads to the most severe muscle wasting.

Calpain activity is negatively regulated by a KCTD7–Cullin-3 complex via non-degradative ubiquitination

open access: yesCell Discovery, 2023
Calpains are a class of non-lysosomal cysteine proteases that exert their regulatory functions via limited proteolysis of their substrates. Similar to the lysosomal and proteasomal systems, calpain dysregulation is implicated in the pathogenesis of ...

Case report: A single novel calpain 3 gene variant associated with mild myopathy [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics
Recessively inherited limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1, caused by mutations in the calpain 3 gene, is the most common limb-girdle muscular dystrophy worldwide. Recently, cases of autosomal dominant calpainopathy have been described.

Human calpain-3 and its structural plasticity: Dissociation of a homohexamer into dimers on binding titin. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Biol Chem
Calpain-3 is an intracellular Ca2+-dependent cysteine protease abundant in skeletal muscle. Loss-of-function mutations in its single-copy gene cause a dystrophy of the limb-girdle muscles.

Titin splicing regulates cardiotoxicity associated with calpain 3 gene therapy for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A. [PDF]

open access: yesSci Transl Med, 2019
International audienceLimb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A (LGMD2A or LGMDR1) is a neuromuscular disorder caused by mutations in the calpain 3 gene (CAPN3). Previous experiments using adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector-mediated calpain 3 gene transfer

Modeling Patient-Specific Muscular Dystrophy Phenotypes and Therapeutic Responses in Reprogrammed Myotubes Engineered on Micromolded Gelatin Hydrogels

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
In vitro models of patient-derived muscle allow for more efficient development of genetic medicines for the muscular dystrophies, which often present mutation-specific pathologies.

Proteolysis of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) by calpain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Calpains are non-lysosomal, Ca2+-dependent cysteine proteases, which are ubiquitously distributed across cell types and vertebrate species. The rules that govern calpain specificity have not yet been determined.
