Human calpain-3 and its structural plasticity: dissociation of a homohexamer into dimers on binding titin
2024-03-03
Abstract excerpt
Calpain-3 is an intracellular Ca 2+ -dependent cysteine protease abundant in skeletal muscle. Its physiological role in the sarcomere is thought to include removing damaged muscle proteins after exercise. Loss-of-function mutations in its single-copy gene cause a dystrophy of the limb-girdle muscles. These mutations, of which there are over 500 in humans, are spread all along this 94-kDa multi-domain protein that...
