Proposed roles of MG53/TRIM72 in mediating membrane repair

MG53/TRIM72 interacts with phosphatidylserine in the plasma membrane in a complex containing dysferlin and Cav-3. MG53/TRIM72 and dysferlin close the membrane wound with vesicles. Vesicle transport is facilitated by myosin motor proteins. Cav-3 may regulate MG53/TRIM72-mediated membrane fusion and is enriched in caveolae or plasma membrane invaginations. PTRF may aid in the formation and stabilization of these caveolae by interaction with Cav-3 and MG53/TRIM72 through cholesterol. PTRF also binds and may help localize dysferlin.
