Citation | Journal: Nat Commun / Year: 2024Title: Cryo-EM structures of the membrane repair protein dysferlin. Authors: Hsiang-Ling Huang / Giovanna Grandinetti / Sarah M Heissler / Krishna Chinthalapudi / ![]() Abstract: Plasma membrane repair in response to damage is essential for cell viability. The ferlin family protein dysferlin plays a key role in Ca-dependent membrane repair in striated muscles. Mutations in ...Plasma membrane repair in response to damage is essential for cell viability. The ferlin family protein dysferlin plays a key role in Ca-dependent membrane repair in striated muscles. Mutations in dysferlin lead to a spectrum of diseases known as dysferlinopathies. The lack of a structure of dysferlin and other ferlin family members has impeded a mechanistic understanding of membrane repair mechanisms and the development of therapies. Here, we present the cryo-EM structures of the full-length human dysferlin monomer and homodimer at 2.96 Å and 4.65 Å resolution. These structures define the architecture of dysferlin, ferlin family-specific domains, and homodimerization mechanisms essential to function. Furthermore, biophysical and cell biology studies revealed how missense mutations in dysferlin contribute to disease mechanisms. In summary, our study provides a framework for the molecular mechanisms of dysferlin and the broader ferlin family, offering a foundation for the development of therapeutic strategies aimed at treating dysferlinopathies. | ||||||
