Abstract excerpt
The basement membrane protein laminin-5 (LN5; alpha3beta3gamma2) undergoes specific proteolytic processing of the 190-kDa alpha3 chain to the 160-kDa form after the secretion, releasing its COOH-terminal, LG4-5 domain. To clarify the biological significance of this processing, we tried to express a recombinant precursor LN5 with a 190-kDa alpha3 chain (pre-LN5), in which the cleavage sequence Gln-Asp was changed...
