TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: Concerted mutation of Phe residues belonging to the b-dystroglycan ectodomain strongly inhibits the interaction with a-dystroglycan in vitro

The dystroglycan adhesion complex consists of two noncovalently interact-ing proteins: a-dystroglycan, a peripheral extracellular subunit that is extensively glycosylated, and the transmembrane b-dystroglycan, whose cytosolic tail interacts with dystrophin, thus linking the F-actin cytoskele-ton to the extracellular matrix. | ỊFEBS Journal Concerted mutation of Phe residues belonging to the b-dystroglycan ectodomain strongly inhibits the interaction with a-dystroglycan in vitro UH I I 1 I- 2 1 t 7 1 -3 1 .

Dystroglycan is thought to play a crucial role in the stability of the plasmalemma and forms strong contacts between the extracellular matrix and the cytoskeleton in a wide variety of tissues. Abnormal membrane targeting of dystroglycan subunits and or their aberrant post-translational modification are often associated with several pathologic conditions ranging from neuromuscular disorders to carcinomas. A putative functional hotspot of dystroglycan is represented by .
