Abstract excerpt
The membrane protein dysferlin (DYSF) is important for calcium-activated plasma membrane repair, especially in muscle fibre cells. Nearly 600 mutations in the DYSF gene have been identified that are causative for rare genetic forms of muscular dystrophy. The dysferlin protein consists of seven C2 domains (C2A-C2G, 13%-33% identity) used to recruit calcium ions and traffic accessory proteins and vesicles to...
