Figure 4.
Location of N-linked glycosylation sites in the LG1-3 structure. Shown are two surface representations of the α2LG1-3 structure (LG1, green; LG2, blue; LG3, brown) related by a rotation of 180° about a vertical axis. The LG1-2 linker is shown as a black line. The predicted attachment site in LG1 of the coiled coil region is indicated by a gray arrow. Every N-linked glycosylation site present in one or more of the five mouse or human laminin α chains has been mapped onto the α2LG1-3 structure (see text) and marked by a branched core hexasaccharide (magenta). The left view is similar to the one in Fig. 1A.
