The dystrophin-glycoprotein complex spans the sarcolemma to provide a linkage between the subsarcolemmal cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix in skeletal muscle. In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), the absence of dystrophin leads to a drastic reduction in all of the dystrophin-associated proteins in the sarcolemma, thus causing the disruption of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex and the loss of the linkage to the extracellular matrix. This is presumed to lead to sarcolemmal instability which could render muscle fibers susceptible to necrosis. In DMD, a very small percentage of muscle fibers show dystrophin staining along the sarcolemma, presumably due to a second in-frame deletion in the dystrophin gene. However, the functional significance of these rare dystrophin-positive muscle fibers (revertants) in DMD has been unclear. Here we report the co-expression of the dystrophin-associated proteins with dystrophin in revertants of DMD skeletal muscle. Our results suggest that the entire dystrophin-glycoprotein complex is restored in revertants and, thus, the linkage between the subsarcolemmal cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix is restored in these muscle fibers.

D016189 Dystrophin A muscle protein localized in surface membranes which is the product of the Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy gene. Individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy usually lack dystrophin completely while those with Becker muscular dystrophy have dystrophin of an altered size. It shares features with other cytoskeletal proteins such as SPECTRIN and alpha-actinin but the precise function of dystrophin is not clear. One possible role might be to preserve the integrity and alignment of the plasma membrane to the myofibrils during muscle contraction and relaxation. MW 400 kDa.
D049030 Dystroglycans Dystrophin-associated proteins that play role in the formation of a transmembrane link between laminin-2 and DYSTROPHIN. Both the alpha and the beta subtypes of dystroglycan originate via POST-TRANSLATIONAL PROTEIN PROCESSING of a single precursor protein.
