Its ability to engage extracellular laminin is further thought to contribute to cellular migration and invasion. Most commonly associated with metastatic cancer, RPSA is also increasingly found to be important in other pathologies, including microbial infection, neurodegenerative disease and developmental malformations. Importantly, it is thought to have higher molecular weight forms, including a 67-kDa species (67LR), the expression of which is linked to strong laminin binding and metastatic behavior. The composition of these larger forms has remained elusive and controversial. Homo- and heterodimerization have been proposed as events capable of building the larger species from the monomeric 37-kDa precursor, but solid evidence is lacking. Here, we present data suggesting that higher molecular weight species require SUMOylation to form. We also comment on the difficulty of isolating larger RPSA species for unambiguous identification and demonstrate that cell lines stably expressing tagged RPSA for long periods of time fail to produce tagged higher molecular weight RPSA. It is possible that higher molecular weight species like 67LR are not derived from RPSA.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/cmble-2015-0031","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,6]],"date-time":"2015-07-06T09:39:10Z","timestamp":1436175550000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["The transition of the 37-kDa laminin receptor (RPSA) to higher molecular weight species: SUMOylation or artifact?"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Vincent","family":"Digiacomo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ivan A.","family":"Gando","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lisa","family":"Venticinque","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alicia","family":"Hurtado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Meruelo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"374","reference":[{"key":"ref451","first-page":"263","article-title":"Isolation and partial characterization of high affinity laminin receptors in neural cells","volume":"46","author":"Douville","year":"1988","journal-title":"Biol Chem"},{"key":"ref281","first-page":"69","article-title":"van den Formation of the -
