Abstract excerpt
Mechanical stress on sarcolemma can create small tears in the muscle cell membrane. Within the sarcolemma resides the multidomain dysferlin protein. Mutations in this protein render it unable to repair the sarcolemma and have been linked to muscular dystrophy. A key step in dysferlin-regulated repair is the binding of the C2A domain to the lipid membrane upon increased intracellular calcium. Mutations mapped to...
