Figure 1.
Crystal structure of laminin α2LG1-3.A, schematic representation of the structure. LG1, LG2, and LG3 are in green, blue, and brown, respectively. Disulfide bridges are in yellow, N-linked carbohydrate moieties are in magenta, and calcium ions are shown as sky blue spheres. Disordered regions of the polypeptide chain are indicated by dotted lines. The location of the RRKRR motif in LG3 (see text) is indicated. B, stereoview of a superposition of Cα traces of LG1 (green), LG2 (blue), and LG3 (brown). Disulfide bridges are shown as thick sticks. The 14 canonical β-strands of laminin LG domains (31) have been labeled sequentially, A–N.
