Disease-causing missense mutations in actin binding domain 1 of dystrophin induce thermodynamic instability and protein aggregation
8 May 2010
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the dystrophin gene cause Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) most commonly through loss of protein expression. In a small subpopulation of patients, missense mutations can cause DMD, Becker muscular dystrophy, or X-linked cardiomyopathy. Nearly one-half of disease-causing missense mutations are located in actin-binding domain 1 (ABD1) of dystrophin. To test the hypothesis that ABD1 missense mutations...
