International audience. Abstract Dynamic changes in the arrangement of myonuclei and the organization of the sarcoplasmic reticulum are important determinants of myofiber formation and muscle function. To find factors associated with muscle integrity, we perform an siRNA screen and identify SH3KBP1 as a new factor controlling myoblast fusion, myonuclear positioning, and myotube elongation. We find that the N-terminus of SH3KBP1 binds to dynamin-2 while the C-terminus associates with the endoplasmic reticulum through calnexin, which in turn control myonuclei dynamics and ER integrity, respectively. Additionally, in mature muscle fibers, SH3KBP1 contributes to the formation of triads and modulates the Excitation-Contraction Coupling process efficiency. In Dnm2 R465W/+ mice, a model for centronuclear myopathy (CNM), depletion of Sh3kbp1 expression aggravates CNM-related atrophic phenotypes and impaired autophagic flux in mutant skeletal muscle fiber. Altogether, our results identify SH3KBP1 as a new regulator of myofiber integrity and function.
