This approach may also be applicable to limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B), Myoshi myopathy (MM) and distal myopathy with anterior tibial onset (DMAT), which are caused by mutations in the dysferlin-encoding

They failed to detect different levels of relevant muscle proteins including dystroglycans, sarcoglycans, dysferlin, and calpain (data not shown).
-
In this Paper of the Week, Chuanxi Cai and colleagues demonstrate that mitsugumin 53 (MG53), a muscle-specific TRIM family protein, forms a molecular complex along with dysferlin and Cav3, bringing all three repair proteins together; Cav3 mutations resulting in retention of Cav3 in the Golgi resulted in aberrant localization of MG53 and dysferlin and subsequent defects in membrane repair.
-
Two proteins involved in membrane repair are dysferlin and caveolin-3, but their interactions, if any, are not yet known.

Insufficient membrane fusion in dysferlin-deficient muscle fibers after heavy-ion irradiation.
