High and low affinity heparin-binding sites in the G domain of the mouse laminin alpha 4 chain.
G domains of the mouse laminin alpha 1 and alpha 4 chains consisting of its five subdomains LG1-LG5 were overexpressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells and purified by heparin chromatography. alpha 1LG1-LG5 and alpha 4LG1-LG5 eluted at NaCl concentrations of 0.30 and 0.47 m, respectively. In solid phase binding assays with immobilized heparin, half-maximal concentrations of 14 (alpha 1LG1-LG5) an...
متن کاملLocalization of three distinct heparin-binding domains of laminin by monoclonal antibodies.
Monoclonal antibodies were utilized to localize novel heparin-binding domains of laminin. A solid-phase radioligand binding assay was designed such that [3H] heparin bound to laminin in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Tritiated heparin binding to laminin was saturable and specific as determined by competition with unlabeled heparin, dextran sulfate, and dermatan sulfate. By Scatchar...
متن کاملSubunit structure of a laminin-binding integrin and localization of its binding site on laminin.
A laminin receptor was isolated from human MG-63 osteosarcoma cells by affinity chromatography on human laminin. The isolated receptor was defined as the alpha 3 beta 1 integrin by immunoprecipitation with subunit-specific antibodies. A previously unclassified laminin-binding integrin from rat cells was shown also to contain the alpha 3 subunit. Both receptors bound to human and mouse laminin i...
متن کاملBasal lamina strengthens cell membrane integrity via the laminin G domain-binding motif of alpha-dystroglycan.
Skeletal muscle basal lamina is linked to the sarcolemma through transmembrane receptors, including integrins and dystroglycan. The function of dystroglycan relies critically on posttranslational glycosylation, a common target shared by a genetically heterogeneous group of muscular dystrophies characterized by alpha-dystroglycan hypoglycosylation. Here we show that both dystroglycan and integri...
متن کاملCrystal structure of human sex hormone-binding globulin: steroid transport by a laminin G-like domain.
Human sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) transports sex steroids in blood and regulates their access to target tissues. In biological fluids, SHBG exists as a homodimer and each monomer comprises two laminin G-like domains (G domains). The crystal structure of the N-terminal G domain of SHBG in complex with 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone at 1.55 A resolution reveals both the architecture of the st...
