Dysferlin binds to microtubules.

, 2013
His-myc-dysferlin purified on Ni-NTA beads was incubated with polymerized microtubules. Reactions were resolved by SDS-PAGE stained with SimplyBlue SafeStain. Arrows point to His-myc-dysferlin, tubulin, BSA, and to MAP1&MAP2 of the microtubule-associated

Comparative analysis of canonical and noncanonical rhodopsins in Amphidinium carterae and Karlodinium veneficum

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 360-376, April 2026.
Abstract Rhodopsins are ancient and versatile light‐sensitive proteins, widely distributed across microbial life. In dinoflagellates, however, their diversity and function remain poorly understood, owing to the lineage's extreme genomic divergence. Here, we surveyed the rhodopsin complements of two dinoflagellates, Amphidinium carterae and Karlodinium ...

Dysferlin mediates membrane tubulation and links T-tubule biogenesis to muscular dystrophy

, 2017
The multi-C2 domain protein dysferlin localizes to the plasma membrane and the T-tubule system in skeletal muscle; however, its physiological mode of action is unknown. Mutations in the DYSF gene lead to autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy

Dysferlin at transverse tubules regulates Ca2+ homeostasis in skeletal muscle

Frontiers in Physiology, 2014
The class of muscular dystrophies linked to the genetic ablation or mutation of dysferlin, including Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy 2B (LGMD2B) and Miyoshi Myopathy (MM), are late-onset degenerative diseases.

RUNX2 Activation in Fibro/Adipogenic Progenitors Promotes Muscle Fibrosis in Muscular Dystrophy

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 13, 3 March 2026.
This study revealed a novel role of the chemokine‐TGF‐β1‐RUNX2 axis in determining the fate of FAP differentiation and modulating muscle fibrosis in patients and mice with muscular dystrophies. ABSTRACT Clinical evidence indicates concurrent muscle inflammation and fibrosis in muscular dystrophies (MDs); however, the molecular mechanisms underlying ...

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B causes HDL-C abnormalities in patients and statin-resistant muscle wasting in dysferlin-deficient mice

Skeletal Muscle, 2022
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (MD) type 2B (LGMD2B) and Duchenne MD (DMD) are caused by mutations to the Dysferlin and Dystrophin genes, respectively. We have recently demonstrated in typically mild dysferlin- and dystrophin-deficient mouse models that ...

Genomics Insights Into High‐Latitude Adaptation of Tibetan Macaques

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 14, 9 March 2026.
Tibetan macaques exhibit unique adaptations to cold, high‐latitude environments, including shortened tails and enhanced fat storage. Genomic analyses reveal a species‐specific TBX6 mutation linked to tail reduction and selection on lipid metabolism genes.

Caveolin Regulates Endocytosis of the Muscle Repair Protein, Dysferlin [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2008
Dysferlin and Caveolin-3 are plasma membrane proteins associated with muscular dystrophy. Patients with mutations in the CAV3 gene show dysferlin mislocalization in muscle cells. By utilizing caveolin-null cells, expression of caveolin mutants, and different mutants of dysferlin, we have dissected the site of action of caveolin with respect to ...

Membralin Assembles a MAN1B1–VCP Complex to Target Foreign Glycoproteins from the Endoplasmic Reticulum to Lysosomes for Degradation

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, 13 February 2026.
This study identifies Membralin as an ER‐phagy receptor that recruits MAN1B1 and VCP to form a selective ERLAD complex. By sensing dense N‐glycan clusters on viral fusion glycoproteins, this ubiquitin‐independent pathway directs SARS‐CoV‐2 spike, Ebola GP, influenza HA, and HIV‐1 Env to lysosomal degradation, thereby limiting viral infectivity ...

Myopathy With Exercise‐Induced Intolerance due to Novel Biallelic Variants in OBSCN—A Clinical, Morphological and Molecular Analysis

Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology, Volume 52, Issue 1, February 2026.
The phenotype of OBSCN variants consists of exercise intolerance ranging from myalgia and cramps to rhabdomyolysis. Symptoms are mainly induced by high‐intensity sports. Molecular analysis showing a deregulation of muscle processes associated with Ca2+ regulation, extrasarcolemmal integrity and autophagy emphasised the critical role of obscurin in ...
