ABSTRACT
Satellite cells are skeletal muscle stem cells that contribute to postnatal muscle growth, and they endow skeletal muscle with the ability to regenerate after a severe injury. Here we discovered that this myogenic potential of satellite cells requires a protein called tripartite motif-containing 28 (TRIM28). Unexpectedly, multiple lines of both in vitro and in vivo evidence revealed that the myogenic function of TRIM28 is not dependent on changes in the phosphorylation of its serine 473 residue. Moreover, the functions of TRIM28 were not mediated through the regulation of satellite cell proliferation or differentiation. Instead, our findings indicate that TRIM28 regulates the ability of satellite cells to progress through the process of fusion. Specifically, we discovered that TRIM28 controls the expression of a fusogenic protein called myomixer and concomitant fusion pore formation. Collectively, the outcomes of this study expose the framework of a novel regulatory pathway that is essential for myogenesis.
