N-Glycosylation of laminin-332 regulates its biological functions. A novel function of the bisecting GlcNAc.
Laminin-332 (Lm332) is a large heterotrimeric glycoprotein that has been identified as a scattering factor, a regulator of cancer invasion as well as a prominent basement membrane component of the skin. Past studies have identified the functional domains of Lm332 and revealed the relationships between its activities and the processing of its subunits. However, there is little information availa...
متن کاملImportance of N-Glycosylation on CD147 for Its Biological Functions
Glycosylation of glycoproteins is one of many molecular changes that accompany malignant transformation. Post-translational modifications of proteins are closely associated with the adhesion, invasion, and metastasis of tumor cells. CD147, a tumor-associated antigen that is highly expressed on the cell surface of various tumors, is a potential target for cancer diagnosis and therapy. A signific...
متن کاملHIF1 transcription factor regulates laminin-332 expression and keratinocyte migration.
Epidermal wound repair is a complex process involving the fine orchestrated regulation of crucial cell functions, such as proliferation, adhesion and migration. Using an in vitro model that recapitulates central aspects of epidermal wound healing, we demonstrate that the transcription factor HIF1 is strongly stimulated in keratinocyte cultures submitted to mechanical injury. Signals generated b...
متن کاملLaminin 332 processing impacts cellular behavior
Laminin 332, composed of the α3, β3 and γ2 chains, is an epithelial-basement membrane specific laminin variant. Its main role in normal tissues is the maintenance of epithelial-mesenchymal cohesion in tissues exposed to external forces, including skin and stratified squamous mucosa. After being secreted and deposited in the extracellular matrix, laminin 332 undergoes physiological maturation pr...
متن کاملThe short arm of laminin gamma2 chain of laminin-5 (laminin-332) binds syndecan-1 and regulates cellular adhesion and migration by suppressing phosphorylation of integrin beta4 chain.
The proteolytic processing of laminin-5 at the short arm of the gamma2 chain (gamma2sa) is known to convert this laminin from a cell adhesion type to a motility type. Here, we studied this mechanism by analyzing the functions of gamma2sa. In some immortalized or tumorigenic human cell lines, a recombinant gamma2sa, in either soluble or insoluble (coated) form, promoted the adhesion of these cel...
