Dystroglycan glycosylation and muscular dystrophy.
Dystroglycan is an integral member of the skeletal muscle dystrophin glycoprotein complex, which links dystrophin to proteins in the extracellular matrix. Recently, a group of human muscular dystrophy disorders have been demonstrated to result from defective glycosylation of the alpha-dystroglycan subunit. Genetic studies of these diseases have identified six genes that encode proteins required for the synthesis of essential carbohydrate structures on dystroglycan. Here we highlight their known or postulated functions. This glycosylation pathway appears to be highly specific (dystroglycan is the only substrate identified thus far) and to be highly conserved during evolution.
