Research Abstract

β-sarcoglycan contains EGF-like amino acid sequences in its extracellular domain. In vitro analyses demonstrated thatβ-sarcoglycan can interacts with EGFR via this extracellular domain. Double mutant for Syntrophin1and2has been established. Analyses with this double mutant clarified in vivo roles of these two genes. Recombinantβ-sarcoglycan tagged with Cypovirus VP3has been successfully expressed in cultured Drosophila cells.
