Abstract:
Human nonintegrin laminin receptor is a multifunctional protein acting as an integral component of the ribosome and a cell surface receptor for laminin-1. The laminin receptor is overexpressed in several human cancers and is also the cell surface receptor for several viruses and pathogenic prion proteins, making it a pathologically significant protein. This study focused on the proteomic characterization of laminin receptor interacting proteins from Mus musculus. The use of affinity chromatography with immobilized recombinant laminin receptor coupled with mass spectrometry analysis identified 45 proteins with high confidence. Following validation through coimmunoprecipitation, the proteins were classified based on predicted function into ribosomal, RNA processing, signal transduction/metabolism, protein processing, cytoskeleton/cell anchorage, DNA/chromatin, and unknown functions. A significant portion of the identified proteins is related to functions or localizations previously described for laminin receptor. This work represents a comprehensive proteomic approach to studying laminin receptor and provides an essential stepping stone to a better mechanistic understanding of this protein's diverse functions.
