Abstract
The laminin-type globular (LG) domains of laminin alpha chains have been implicated in various cellular interactions that are mediated through receptors such as integrins, alpha-dystroglycan, syndecans, and the Lutheran blood group glycoprotein (Lu). Lu, an Ig superfamily transmembrane receptor specific for laminin alpha5, is also known as basal cell adhesion molecule (B-CAM). Although Lu/B-CAM binds to the LG domain of laminin alpha5, the binding site has not been precisely defined. To better delineate this binding site, we produced a series of recombinant laminin trimers containing modified alpha chains, such that all or part of alpha5LG was replaced with analogous segments of human laminin alpha1LG. In solid phase binding assays using a soluble Lu (Lu-Fc) composed of the Lu extracellular domain and human IgG1 Fc, we found that Lu bound to Mr5G3, a recombinant laminin containing alpha5 domains LN through LG3 fused to human laminin alpha1LG4-5. However, Lu/B-CAM did not bind other recombinant laminins containing alpha5LG3 unless alpha5LG1-2 was also present. A recombinant alpha5LG1-3 tandem lacking the laminin coiled coil (LCC) domain did not reproduce the activity of Lu/B-CAM binding. Therefore, proper structure of the alpha5LG1-3 tandem with the LCC domain was essential for the binding of Lu/B-CAM to laminin alpha5. Our results also suggest that the binding site for Lu/B-CAM on laminin alpha5 may overlap with that of integrins alpha3beta1 and alpha6beta1.
