Determinants of laminin polymerization revealed by the structure of the α5 chain amino-terminal region

The polymerization of laminin into a cell-associated network—a key step in basement membrane assembly—is mediated by the laminin amino-terminal (LN) domains at the tips of the three short arms of the laminin αβγ-heterotrimer. The crystal structure of a laminin α5LN–LE1–2 fragment shows that the LN d...
