Abstract

Laminins are key basement membrane molecules that influence several biological activities and are linked to a number of diseases. They are secreted as heterotrimeric proteins consisting of one alpha, one beta, and one gamma chain, followed by their assembly into a polymer-like sheet at the basement membrane. Using sedimentation velocity, dynamic light scattering, and surface plasmon resonance experiments, we studied self-association of three laminin (LM) N-terminal fragments alpha-1 (hLM alpha-1 N), alpha-5 (hLM alpha-5 N) and beta-3 (hLM beta-3 N) originating from the short arms of the human laminin alpha beta gamma heterotrimer. Corresponding studies of the hLM alpha-1 N C49S mutant, equivalent to the larval lethal C56S mutant in zebrafish, have shown that this mutation causes enhanced self-association behavior, an observation that provides a plausible explanation for the inability of laminin bearing this mutation to fulfill functional roles in vivo, and hence for the deleterious pathological consequences of the mutation on lens function.
