Abstract
The non-integrin laminin receptor (LAMR1/RPSA) and galectin-3 (Gal-3) are multi-functional host molecules with roles in diverse pathological processes, particularly of infectious or oncogenic origins. Using bimolecular fluorescence complementation and confocal imaging, we demonstrate that the two proteins homo- and heterodimerize, and that each isotype forms a distinct cell surface population. We present evidence that the 37 kDa form of LAMR1 (37LRP) is the precursor of the previously described 67 kDa laminin receptor (67LR), whereas the heterodimer represents an entity that is distinct from this molecule. Site-directed mutagenesis confirmed that the single cysteine (C(173)) of Gal-3 or lysine (K(166)) of LAMR1 are critical for heterodimerization. Recombinant Gal-3, expressed in normally Gal-3-deficient N2a cells, dimerized with endogenous LAMR1 and led to a significantly increased number of internalized bacteria (Neisseria meningitidis), confirming the role of Gal-3 in bacterial invasion. Contact-dependent cross-linking determined that, in common with LAMR1, Gal-3 binds the meningococcal secretin PilQ, in addition to the major pilin PilE. This study adds significant new mechanistic insights into the bacterial-host cell interaction by clarifying the nature, role and bacterial ligands of LAMR1 and Gal-3 isotypes during colonization.

Abstract
The 37/67-kDa laminin receptor (LAMR/RPSA) was originally identified as a 67-kDa binding protein for laminin, an extracellular matrix glycoprotein that provides cellular adhesion to the basement membrane. LAMR has evolutionary origins, however, as a 37-kDa RPS2 family ribosomal component. Expressed in all domains of life, RPS2 proteins have been shown to have remarkably diverse physiological roles that vary across species. Contributing to laminin binding, ribosome biogenesis, cytoskeletal organization, and nuclear functions, this protein governs critical cellular processes including growth, survival, migration, protein synthesis, development, and differentiation. Unsurprisingly given its purview, LAMR has been associated with metastatic cancer, neurodegenerative disease and developmental abnormalities. Functioning in a receptor capacity, this protein also confers susceptibility to bacterial and viral infection. LAMR is clearly a molecule of consequence in human disease, directly mediating pathological events that make it a prime target for therapeutic interventions. Despite decades of research, there are still a large number of open questions regarding the cellular biology of LAMR, the nature of its ability to bind laminin, the function of its intrinsically disordered C-terminal region and its conversion from 37 to 67 kDa. This review attempts to convey an in-depth description of the complexity surrounding this multifaceted protein across functional, structural and pathological aspects.

Abstract
Understanding β cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions can advance our knowledge of the mechanisms that control glucose homeostasis and improve culture methods used in islet transplantation for the treatment of diabetes. Laminin is the main constituent of the basement membrane and is involved in pancreatic β cell survival and function, even enhancing glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Most of the studies on cell responses towards laminin have focused on integrin-mediated interactions, while much less attention has been paid on non-integrin receptors, such as the 67 kDa laminin receptor (67LR). The specificity of the receptor-ligand interaction through the adhesion of INS-1 cells (a rat insulinoma cell line) to CDPGYIGSR-, GRGDSPC- or CDPGYIGSR + GRGDSPC-covered surfaces was evaluated. Also, the effects of the 67LR knocking down over glucose-stimulated insulin secretion were investigated. Culture of the INS-1 cells on the bioactive surfaces was improved compared to the low-fouling carboxymethyl dextran (CMD) surfaces, while downregulation of the 67LR resulted in reduced cell adhesion to surfaces bearing the CDPGYIGSR peptide. Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion was hindered by downregulation of the 67LR, regardless of the biological motif available on the biomimetic surfaces on which the cells were cultured. This finding illustrates the importance of the 67LR in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and points to a possible role of the 67LR in the mechanisms of insulin secretion.

Conformational switch of a flexible loop in human laminin receptor determines laminin-1 interaction. EUROPEAN BIOPHYSICS JOURNAL: EBJ 2012; 41:353-8.

Abstract
The 37/67-kDa human laminin receptor(LamR) is a cell surface protein that interacts with molecules located in the extra-cellular matrix. In particular, interactions between LamR and laminins play a major role in mediating changes in the cellular environment that affect cell adhesion, neurite outgrowth, tumor growth and metastasis. The exact interaction mode of laminin-1 and LamR is not fully understood. Laminin-1 is thought to bind to LamR through interaction with the so-called peptide G (residues 161–180) and the C-terminal helix (residues 205–229). Here we performed 100-ns atomistic force field based molecular dynamics simulations to explore the structure and dynamics of LamR related to laminin-1 interactions. Our main finding is that loop 188–197 in the C-terminal region is highly flexible. It undergoes a major change resulting in a conformational switch that partially solvent exposes the R180 residue in the final part of the G peptide. So, R180 could contribute to laminin-1 binding. Projection of the simulations along the first two principal components also confirms the importance of this conformational switch in the LamR. This may be a basic prerequisite to clarify the key structural determinants of the interaction of LamR with laminin-1.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a superfamily of Zn(2+)-dependent proteases that are capable of cleaving the proteinaceous component of the extracellular matrix (ECM). The ECM is a critical medium for cell-cell interactions and can also directly signal cells through cell surface ECM receptors, such as integrins. In addition, many growth factors and signaling molecules are stored in the ECM. Thus, ECM remodeling and/or degradation by MMPs are expected to affect cell fate and behavior during many developmental and pathological processes. Numerous studies have shown that the expression of MMP mRNAs and proteins associates tightly with diverse developmental and pathological processes, such as tumor metastasis and mammary gland involution. In vivo evidence to support the roles of MMPs in these processes has been much harder to get. Here, we will review some of our studies on MMP11, or stromelysin-3, during the thyroid hormone-dependent amphibian metamorphosis, a process that resembles the so-called postembryonic development in mammals (from a few months before to several months after birth in humans when organ growth and maturation take place). Our investigations demonstrate that stromelysin-3 controls apoptosis in different tissues via at least two distinct mechanisms.

Abstract
The 67LR (67 kDa laminin receptor) enables cells to interact with components of the extracellular matrix. The molecule is derived from the 37LRP (37 kDa laminin receptor precursor); however, the precise molecular mechanism of this conversion is unknown. Recombinant 37LRP, expressed in and purified from Escherichia coli, bound to human laminin in a SPR (surface plasmon resonance) experiment. 67LR isolated from human breast-cancer-derived cells in culture was also shown to bind to laminin by SPR. However, the kinetics of association are qualitatively different. 37LRP, but not 67LR, binds to heparan sulfate. The binding of 37LRP to heparan sulfate did not affect the interaction of 37LRP with laminin. In contrast, heparan sulfate reduces the extent of binding of laminin to 67LR. Taken together, these results show that 37LRP has some of the biological activities of 67LR, even prior to the conversion event. However, the conversion affects the sites of interaction with both laminin and heparan sulfate.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been extensively studied because of their functional attributes in development and diseases. However, relatively few in vivo functional studies have been reported on the roles of MMPs in postembryonic organ development. Amphibian metamorphosis is a unique model for studying MMP function during vertebrate development because of its dependence on thyroid hormone (T3) and the ability to easily manipulate this process with exogenous T3. The MMP stromelysin-3 (ST3) is induced by T3, and its expression correlates with cell death during metamorphosis. We have previously shown that ST3 is both necessary and sufficient for larval epithelial cell death in the remodeling intestine. To investigate the roles of ST3 in other organs and especially on different cell types, we have analyzed the effect of transgenic overexpression of ST3 in the tail of premetamorphic tadpoles. We report for the first time that ST3 expression, in the absence of T3, caused significant muscle cell death in the tail of premetamorphic transgenic tadpoles. On the other hand, only relatively low levels of epidermal cell death were induced by precocious ST3 expression in the tail, contrasting what takes place during natural and T3-induced metamorphosis when ST3 expression is high. This cell type-specific apoptotic response to ST3 in the tail suggests distinct mechanisms regulating cell death in different tissues. Furthermore, our analyses of laminin receptor, an in vivo substrate of ST3 in the intestine, suggest that laminin receptor cleavage may be an underlying mechanism for the cell type-specific effects of ST3.

Abstract
The 67LR (67 kDa laminin receptor) is a cell-surface receptor with high affinity for its primary ligand. Its role as a laminin receptor makes it an important molecule both in cell adhesion to the basement membrane and in signalling transduction following this binding event. The protein also plays critical roles in the metastasis of tumour cells. Isolation of the protein from either normal or cancerous cells results in a product with an approx. molecular mass of 67 kDa. This protein is believed to be derived from a smaller precursor, the 37LRP (37 kDa laminin receptor precursor). However, the precise mechanism by which cytoplasmic 37LRP becomes cell-membrane-embedded 67LR is unclear. The process may involve post-translational fatty acylation of the protein combined with either homo- or hetero-dimerization, possibly with a galectin-3-epitope-containing partner. Furthermore, it has become clear that acting as a receptor for laminin is not the only function of this protein. 67LR also acts as a receptor for viruses, such as Sindbis virus and dengue virus, and is involved with internalization of the prion protein. Interestingly, unmodified 37LRP is a ribosomal component and homologues of this protein are found in all five kingdoms. In addition, it appears to be strongly associated with histones in the eukaryotic cell nucleus, although the precise role of these interactions is not clear. Here we review the current understanding of the structure and function of this molecule, as well as highlighting areas requiring further research.

Abstract
Interactions between cells and extracellular matrix (ECM), in particular the basement membrane (BM), are fundamentally important for the regulation of a wide variety of physiological and pathological processes. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) play critical roles in ECM remodeling and/or regulation of cell-ECM interactions because of their ability to cleave protein components of the ECM. Of particular interest among MMP is stromelysin-3 (ST3), which was first isolated from a human breast cancer and also shown to be correlated with apoptosis during development and invasion of tumor cells in mammals. We have been using intestinal remodeling during thyroid hormone (TH)-dependent amphibian metamorphosis as a model to study the role of ST3 during post-embryonic tissue remodeling and organ development in vertebrates. This process involves complete degeneration of the tadpole or larval epithelium through apoptosis and de novo development of the adult epithelium. Here, we will first summarize expression studies by us and others showing a tight spatial and temporal correlation of the expression of ST3 mRNA and protein with larval cell death and adult tissue development. We will then review in vitro and in vivo data supporting a critical role of ST3 in TH-induced larval epithelial cell death and ECM remodeling. We will further discuss the potential mechanisms of ST3 function during metamorphosis and its broader implications.

Abstract
The 37-kd laminin receptor precursor (LR) was first identified as a 67-kd protein that binds laminin with high affinity. We have recently isolated the Xenopus laevis LR as an in vitro substrate of matrix metalloproteinase stromelysin-3 (ST3), which is highly upregulated during intestinal metamorphosis in Xenopus laevis. Here, we show that LR is expressed in the intestinal epithelium of premetamorphic tadpoles. During intestinal metamorphosis, LR is downregulated in the apoptotic epithelium and concurrently upregulated in the connective tissue but with little expression in the developing adult epithelium. Toward the end of metamorphosis, as adult epithelial cells differentiate, they begin to express LR. Furthermore, LR is cleaved during intestinal remodeling when ST3 is highly expressed or in premetamorphic intestine of transgenic tadpoles overexpressing ST3. These results suggest that LR plays a role in cell fate determination and tissue morphogenesis, in part through its cleavage by ST3. Interestingly, high levels of LR are known to be expressed in tumor cells, which are often surrounded by fibroblasts expressing ST3, suggesting that LR cleavage by ST3 plays a role in both physiological and pathological processes.

Abstract
The growth of solid tumors is largely controlled by the process of angiogenesis. A 67 kDa protein, the laminin binding protein (LBP), is shed from malignant cells in significant amounts and binds to laminin-1 (Starkey et al., Cytometry 1999;35:37-47; Karpatová et al., J Cell Biochem 1996;60:226-34). However, the functions of shed LBP are not fully understood. We hypothesize that matrix-bound LBP could modulate local tumor angiogenesis. In support of this hypothesis, we demonstrate that shed LBP exhibits sulfhydryl oxidase-like activities, and modifies the production of angiostatins from plasmin in vitro. The molecular weights of the autocatalytic products of lys-plasmin incubated with LBP in vitro suggest that PMDs (plasmin A chains attached to degraded B chains) (Ohyama et al., Eur J Biochem 2004;271:809-20) are preferentially generated. Using rat aortic ring assays, we also show that shed LBP reverses plasmin-dependent inhibition of vascular outgrowth. To elucidate which LBP region(s) are active in modulating angiogenesis, limited proteolysis experiments were conducted to determine stable rLBP domains likely to fold correctly, and these were cloned, expressed and purified. The stable LBP fragments were tested for binding to laminin-1 and for competition with shed LBP activity in the aortic ring assay. Results of these studies suggest that the active LBP domains lie within the 137-230 amino acid sequence, a region known to contain 2 bioactive sequences. Since this fragment binds to laminin-1 and modulates angiogenesis, it appears likely that binding of shed LBP to matrix laminin-1 is related to its functions in tumor angiogenesis. The findings presented in this manuscript suggest that LBP shedding could provide a useful therapeutic target.

Abstract
The matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) stromelysin-3 (ST3) has long been implicated to play an important role in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and cell fate determination during normal and pathological processes. However, like other MMPs, the molecular basis of ST3 function in vivo remains unclear due to the lack of information on its physiological substrates. Furthermore, ST3 has only weak activities toward all tested ECM proteins. Using thyroid hormone-dependent Xenopus laevis metamorphosis as a model, we demonstrated previously that ST3 is important for apoptosis and tissue morphogenesis during intestinal remodeling. Here, we used yeast two-hybrid screen with mRNAs from metamorphosing tadpoles to identify potential substrate of ST3 during development. We thus isolated the 37 kd laminin receptor precursor (LR). We showed that LR binds to ST3 in vitro and can be cleaved by ST3 at two sites, distinct from where other MMPs cleave. Through peptide sequencing, we determined that the two cleavage sites are in the extracellular domain between the transmembrane domain and laminin binding sequence. Furthermore, we demonstrated that these cleavage sites are conserved in human LR. These results together with high levels of human LR and ST3 expression in carcinomas suggest that LR is a likely in vivo substrate of ST3 and that its cleavage by ST3 may alter cell-extracellular matrix interaction, thus, playing a role in mediating the effects of ST3 on cell fate and behavior observed during development and pathogenesis.

Abstract
TIMAP is a prenylated endothelial cell protein with a domain structure that predicts it to be a protein phosphatase-1 (PP-1) regulatory subunit. We found that TIMAP interacts with the 37/67 kDa laminin receptor (LAMR1) in yeast two-hybrid assays. In endothelial cells, endogenous TIMAP and LAMR1 co-immunoprecipitated and co-localized at the plasma membrane. TIMAP amino acids 261-290, representing the fourth ankyrin repeat of TIMAP, are necessary and sufficient for the interaction. In MDCK cells, lacking endogenous TIMAP, overexpression of full-length TIMAP, but not TIMAP deleted in the fourth ankyrin domain, allowed co-immunoprecipitation with LAMR1. PP-1 co-precipitated with overexpressed and endogenous TIMAP in MDCK and endothelial cells, respectively. In MDCK cells, PP-1 associated with LAMR1 in the presence, but not in the absence, of TIMAP. LAMR1 was a substrate for PP-1 in vitro, and in MDCK cells its phosphorylation was abrogated by expression of full-length TIMAP but not by TIMAP deficient in the fourth ankyrin domain. Hence, TIMAP targets PP-1 to LAMR1, and LAMR1 is a TIMAP-dependent PP-1 substrate.

Abstract
(-)-Epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG), a major green tea polyphenol, has previously exhibited a suppressive effect on the expression of the high-affinity IgE receptor (FcepsilonRI). This effect has been shown to be elicited by interaction with the plasma membrane microdomain lipid rafts. Recently, we have identified the 67 kDa laminin receptor (67LR) as a cell surface EGCG receptor that mediates an anti-cancer action. Here we show that the 67LR is highly associated with lipid rafts on human basophilic KU812 cells. Experiments using 67LR-enhanced and -reduced cells revealed that the EGCG's ability to downregulate FcepsilonRI expression correlated with the amount of 67LR. Thus, these results suggest that the lipid raft-associated 67LR plays an important role in mediating the FcepsilonRI-suppressive action of EGCG.

Abstract
Laminin is the main non-collagenous glycoprotein found in the basement membrane. The various laminin isoforms are involved in many physiological and pathological processes, including cancer dissemination. The interaction of cancer cells with laminin was identified as a key event in tumor invasion and metastasis. Laminin effects are mediated by laminin receptors that are divided into two groups: integrin and non-integrin receptors. Activation of a specific signal transduction pathway in the cell depends on various factors and may be altered when normal tissue becomes neoplastic. Laminin signals via multiple signal transduction pathways involving various components such as G-proteins, intracellular calcium, phospholipase D, mitogen activated protein kinases, phosphatases, focal adhesion kinase, small GTPases of the Rho family, and cytoskeleton components. This review focuses on the role of laminin in tumor progression, its signaling via the non-integrin 67kDa laminin receptor and via integrins and the reciprocal relations between these receptors in certain tumors.

Abstract
Recently, a view of the tumor as a functional tissue interconnected with the microenvironment has recently been described. For many years, the stroma has been studied in the context of the malignant lesion, and only rarely has its role been considered before carcinogenic lesions appear. Recent studies have provided evidence that stromal cells and their products can cause the transformation of adjacent cells through transient signaling that leads to the disruption of homeostatic regulation, including control of tissue architecture, adhesion, cell death, and proliferation. It is now well established that tumor progression requires a continually evolving network of interactions between neoplastic cells and extracellular matrix. A relevant step of this process is the remodeling of microenvironment which surrounds tumors leading to the release of ECM-associated growth factors which can then stimulate tumor and/or endothelial cells. Finally, tumor cells reorganizing the extracellular matrix to facilitate communications and escape the homeostatic control exerted by the microenvironment modify response to cytotoxic treatments.

Abstract
We utilized a 9-mer random phage display library to identify sequences which bind to laminin-1 and elute with heparan sulfate or peptide 11 (CDPGYIGSR). Laminin-1 derivatized plates were used for biopanning. Three consecutive rounds of low pH elutions were carried out, followed by three rounds of specific elutions, each consisting of a heparan sulfate elution followed by a peptide 11 elution. The random sequence inserts were sequenced for phage populations eluted at low pH, by heparan sulfate and by peptide 11. Specifically eluted phage populations exhibited three classes of mimotopes for different regions in the cDNA derived amino acid sequence of the 67 kDa laminin binding protein (LBP). These regions were (1) a palindromic sequence known as peptide G, (2) a predicted helical domain corresponding to LBP residues 205-229, and (3) TEDWS-containing C-terminal repeats. All elution conditions also yielded phage with putative heparin binding sequences. We modeled the LBP(205-229) domain, which is strongly predicted to have a helical secondary structure, and determined that this region likely possesses heparin-binding characteristics located to one side of the helix, while the opposite side appears to contain a hydrophobic patch where peptide 11 could bind. Using ELISA plate assays, we demonstrated that peptide 11 and heparan sulfate individually bound to synthetic LBP(205-229) peptide. We also demonstrated that the QPATEDWSA peptide could inhibit tumor cell adhesion to laminin-1. These data support the proposal that the 67 kDa LBP can bind the beta-1 laminin chain at the peptide 11 region, and suggest that heparan sulfate is a likely alternate ligand for the binding interactions. Our results also confirm previous data suggesting that the most C-terminal region of the LBP, which contains the TEDWS repeats, is involved in cell adhesion to laminin-1, and we specifically implicate the repeat sequence in that activity.
