Function

The dystroglycan complex is involved in a number of processes including laminin and basement membrane assembly, sarcolemmal stability, cell survival, peripheral nerve myelination, nodal structure, cell migration, and epithelial polarization. Alpha-dystroglycan. Extracellular peripheral glycoprotein that acts as a receptor for extracellular matrix proteins containing laminin-G domains. Receptor for laminin-2 (LAMA2) and agrin in peripheral nerve Schwann cells. Also acts as a receptor for laminin LAMA5 (By similarity). Beta-dystroglycan. Transmembrane protein that plays important roles in connecting the extracellular matrix to the cytoskeleton. Acts as a cell adhesion receptor in both muscle and non-muscle tissues. Receptor for both DMD and UTRN and, through these interactions, scaffolds axin to the cytoskeleton. Also functions in cell adhesion-mediated signaling and implicated in cell polarity. Alpha-dystroglycan. (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for lassa virus and lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus glycoprotein and class C new-world arenaviruses (PubMed:16254364, PubMed:17360738, PubMed:19324387). Acts as a Schwann cell receptor for Mycobacterium leprae, the causative organism of leprosy, but only in the presence of the G-domain of LAMA2 (PubMed:9851927).

Supplementary info

Activity summary

Beta Dystroglycan also known as β-DG is a transmembrane protein with a molecular mass of approximately 43 kDa. It plays a mechanical role by linking the extracellular matrix to the cytoskeleton acting as a part of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex. This protein is widely expressed in many tissues including skeletal muscle cardiac muscle and the central nervous system. Beta Dystroglycan serves as a receptor for components like laminin and agrin in the extracellular matrix.

Biological function summary

Beta Dystroglycan acts as a structural and signaling molecule within the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex. This complex stabilizes the sarcolemma during muscle contraction and helps in protecting muscle fibers from injury. Beta Dystroglycan also contributes to cellular signaling pathways by interacting with various intracellular proteins like dystrophin and alpha dystroglycan. It regulates cell adhesion and migration processes critical for tissue maintenance and repair.

Pathways

Beta Dystroglycan plays a critical role in the integrity of the dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex. It is involved in the AKT signaling pathway which is essential for cellular growth and survival. Moreover beta Dystroglycan interacts closely with proteins such as dystrophin and utrophin facilitating their functions in muscle cells. Its interactions help maintain cell membrane stability and signal transduction processes important for normal cellular functions.

Associated diseases and disorders

Beta Dystroglycan’s dysfunction has been closely linked to muscular dystrophies specifically Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies. These conditions involve muscle weakness and degeneration linked to abnormalities in the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex. Additionally aberrant glycosylation and signaling of beta Dystroglycan contribute to cancer progression through altered cell adhesion and migration often involving interactions with proteins like α-dystroglycan.
