Function LAMA2_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 PubMed Dystroglycan is a highly glycosylated extracellular matrix receptor with essential functions in skeletal muscle and the nervous system. Reduced matrix binding by alpha-dystroglycan (alpha-DG) due to perturbed glycosylation is a pathological feature of several forms of muscular dystrophy. Like-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (LARGE) synthesizes the matrix-binding heteropolysaccharide [-glucuronic acid-beta1,3-xylose-alpha1,3-]n. Using a dual exoglycosidase digestion, we confirm that this polysaccharide is present on native alpha-DG from skeletal muscle. The atomic details of matrix binding were revealed by a high-resolution crystal structure of laminin-G-like (LG) domains 4 and 5 (LG4 and LG5) of laminin-alpha2 bound to a LARGE-synthesized oligosaccharide. A single glucuronic acid-beta1,3-xylose disaccharide repeat straddles a Ca2+ ion in the LG4 domain, with oxygen atoms from both sugars replacing Ca2+-bound water molecules. The chelating binding mode accounts for the high affinity of this protein-carbohydrate interaction. These results reveal a previously uncharacterized mechanism of carbohydrate recognition and provide a structural framework for elucidating the mechanisms underlying muscular dystrophy.
