The DGC is composed of dystrophin (blue), an elongated cytoskeletal protein that links to cytoplasmic γ-actin and the transmembrane components of the DGC. Dystrophin binds to the tail of β-dystroglycan (orange). Dystroglycan is composed of 2 subunits, α and β, each produced from the same gene. Dystroglycan binds to the extracellular matrix protein laminin-α2. The sarcoglycan complex (blue-green) is composed of multiple subunits. Mutations in the genes encoding α-, β-, γ-, and δ-sarcoglycan lead to a similar phenotype as dystrophin mutations and include cardiomyopathy and muscular dystrophy in humans and mice. Additional subcomplexes in the DGC in skeletal muscle include α and β dystrobrevin, the syntrophins, nNOS, and caveolin 3 (pink). |
