Detailed analysis of the repeat domain of dystrophin reveals four potential hinge segments that may confer flexibility.

1 Mar 1990

Abstract excerpt

Most of dystrophin, the protein product of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy locus, is composed of spectrin-like repeats, suggesting that dystrophin is an elongated cytoskeletal molecule (Davison, M. D., and Critchley, D. R. (1988) Cell 52, 159-160; Koenig, M., Monaco, A. P., and Kunkel, L. M. (1988) Cell 53, 219-228). We present here a detailed analysis of the repeat domain of human dystrophin and propose that it...
