J Clin Invest
. 2023 Jul;
133(13).
PMID: 37395273
Mutations in genes encoding nuclear envelope proteins lead to diseases known as nuclear envelopathies, characterized by skeletal muscle and heart abnormalities, such as Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD). The tissue-specific role...

J Clin Invest
. 2022 Nov;
132(22).
PMID: 36377660
Mutations in nuclear envelope proteins (NEPs) cause devastating genetic diseases, known as envelopathies, that primarily affect the heart and skeletal muscle. A mutation in the NEP LEM domain-containing protein 2...

Ramirez-Martinez A, Zhang Y, van den Boogaard M, McAnally J, Rodriguez-Caycedo C, Chai A, et al.
J Clin Invest
. 2022 Jun;
132(11).
PMID: 35642635
Skeletal muscle fibers contain hundreds of nuclei, which increase the overall transcriptional activity of the tissue and perform specialized functions. Multinucleation occurs through myoblast fusion, mediated by the muscle fusogens...

Nat Commun
. 2021 Jan;
12(1):690.
PMID: 33514739
Lamins and transmembrane proteins within the nuclear envelope regulate nuclear structure and chromatin organization. Nuclear envelope transmembrane protein 39 (Net39) is a muscle nuclear envelope protein whose functions in vivo...

Trout myomaker contains 14 minisatellites and two sequence extensions but retains fusogenic function
Landemaine A, Ramirez-Martinez A, Monestier O, Sabin N, Rescan P, Olson E, et al.
J Biol Chem
. 2019 Mar;
294(16):6364-6374.
PMID: 30819805
The formation of new myofibers in vertebrates occurs by myoblast fusion and requires fusogenic activity of the muscle-specific membrane protein myomaker. Here, using (BLAST) genome analyses, we show that the...

PMID: 28826497
Maintenance of muscle function requires assembly of contractile proteins into highly organized sarcomeres. Mutations in Kelch-like protein 41 (KLHL41) cause nemaline myopathy, a fatal muscle disorder associated with sarcomere disarray....

Nat Commun
. 2017 Jul;
8:16077.
PMID: 28681861
Multinucleate cellular syncytial formation is a hallmark of skeletal muscle differentiation. Myomaker, encoded by Mymk (Tmem8c), is a well-conserved plasma membrane protein required for myoblast fusion to form multinucleated myotubes...

Science
. 2017 Apr;
356(6335):323-327.
PMID: 28386024
Skeletal muscle formation occurs through fusion of myoblasts to form multinucleated myofibers. From a genome-wide clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) loss-of-function screen for genes required for myoblast fusion...

. 2017 Jan;
542(7640):197-202.
PMID: 28114302
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) perform critical functions in normal physiology and disease by associating with Argonaute proteins and downregulating partially complementary messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Here we use clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic...
