Myoferlin is a component of late-stage vRNP trafficking vesicles for enveloped RNA viruses [PDF]
The Rab11 endosomal recycling pathway is exploited by important respiratory RNA viruses such as IAV and RSV, aiding viral egress from the apical surface of polarized epithelial cells.

Myoferlin regulation by NFAT in muscle injury, regeneration and repair [PDF]
Ferlin proteins mediate membrane-fusion events in response to Ca2+. Myoferlin, a member of the ferlin family, is required for normal muscle development, during which it mediates myoblast fusion. We isolated both damaged and intact myofibers from a mouse model of muscular dystrophy using laser-capture microdissection and found that the levels of ...

Myoferlin Is a Key Regulator of EGFR Activity in Breast Cancer [PDF]
Abstract Myoferlin is a member of the ferlin family of proteins that participate in plasma membrane fusion, repair, and endocytosis. While some reports have implicated myoferlin in cancer, the extent of its expression in and contributions to cancer are not well established.

HBZ upregulates myoferlin expression to facilitate HTLV-1 infection.
The complex retrovirus, human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1), primarily infects CD4+ T-cells in vivo. Infectious spread within this cell population requires direct contact between virally-infected and target cells.

Myoferlin is a novel exosomal protein and functional regulator of cancer-derived exosomes [PDF]
Exosomes are communication mediators participating in the intercellular exchange of proteins, metabolites and nucleic acids. Recent studies have demonstrated that exosomes are characterized by a unique proteomic composition that is distinct from the cellular one.

A Quarter Century of EHD Protein Research: From Endosomal Recycling to Ciliopathies [PDF]
Human EHD protein subcellular localization. ABSTRACT Eps15 homology domain‐containing proteins comprise a conserved family of membrane‐remodeling ATPases that regulate endocytic trafficking, membrane fission, receptor recycling, primary ciliogenesis and membrane dynamics across eukaryotes. Since the initial identification of EHD1 and its Caenorhabditis

Myoferlin depletion in breast cancer cells promotes mesenchymal to epithelial shape change and stalls invasion. [PDF]
Myoferlin (MYOF) is a mammalian ferlin protein with homology to ancestral Fer-1, a nematode protein that regulates spermatic membrane fusion, which underlies the amoeboid-like movements of its sperm.

Lysosomal retargeting of Myoferlin mitigates membrane stress to enable pancreatic cancer growth [PDF]
Lysosomes must maintain the integrity of their limiting membrane to ensure efficient fusion with incoming organelles and degradation of substrates within their lumen. Pancreatic cancer cells upregulate lysosomal biogenesis to enhance nutrient recycling and stress resistance, but it is unknown whether dedicated programmes for maintaining the integrity ...

Identification of myoferlin as a mitochondria-associated membranes component required for calcium signaling in PDAC cell lines [PDF]
Background Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is an aggressive cancer type with one of the lowest survival rates due to late diagnosis and the absence of effective treatments.
