Cryo-EM reveals the molecular basis of laminin polymerization and LN-lamininopathies
| ||||||||||||
Structural highlights
FunctionLAMA1_MOUSE Binding to cells via a high affinity receptor, laminin is thought to mediate the attachment, migration and organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other extracellular matrix components. Publication Abstract from PubMedLaminin polymerization is the major step in basement membranes assembly. Its failures cause laminin N-terminal domain lamininopathies including Pierson syndrome. We have employed cryo-electron microscopy to determine a 3.7 A structure of the trimeric laminin polymer node containing alpha1, beta1 and gamma1 subunits. The structure reveals the molecular basis of calcium-dependent formation of laminin lattice, and provides insights into polymerization defects manifesting in human disease.
