Article Title: A Novel Dysferlin‐Binding Kinase CK2α Promotes Plasma Membrane Repair in Dysferlinopathy
doi: 10.1096/fj.202500773RRR
Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic diagram of plasma membrane repair mediated by dysferlin, as elucidated in this study. (A) At steady state, dysferlin spans the membrane at the C‐terminus, and CK2 binds to dysferlin at region II. (B) When the cell membrane is injured, extracellular calcium ions influx, leading to the accumulation of dysferlin at the injury site, where it is believed to bind to the cytoplasmic side of the membrane via its C2 domain. In the presence of dysferlin, CK2 also efficiently distributes to the site of membrane injury, maintaining its kinase activity by interacting with dysferlin. Phosphorylated annexin A1 recruits intracellular vesicles to the injury site. (C) The mobilized intracellular vesicles are hypothesized to serve as a source of phospholipids, which act as material for the patch that seals the damaged site in cellular membrane repair.
