Cleavage products of L1CAM processing vs. detectability. (A) Cleavage products of L1CAM vs. plasmin, KLK8, or plasmin + KLK8 cleavage. Red products are detectable by a C-terminal epitope anti-L1CAM. Bands are numbered sequentially (I–VI) according to descending length from I = full-length. (B) Schematic of hypothetical SDS page of L1CAM cleavage. Cleavage products detectable by C-terminal epitope anti-L1CAM in red. Lane 1: Uncleaved L1CAM; lane 2: L1CAM cleaved by both plasmin and KLK8 (no siRNA interference), including partial cleavage products. Intensity and thicknesses of individual bands would be reduced from that of uncleaved L1CAM, although total intensity and area would hypothetically equal band in lane 1; lane 3: L1CAM cleavage under siRNA blockade of KLK8. Intensity of individual bands would be greater than in lane 2 and sum band density by area would hypothetically equal lane 1; lane 4. (C) “Detectable” (with currently-available antibodies) bands on hypothetical western blot. Lanes are as in B.
