A basement membrane discovery pipeline uncovers network complexity, new regulators, and human disease associations

Summary Basement membranes (BMs) are ubiquitous extracellular matrices whose composition remains elusive, limiting our understanding of BM regulation and function. By developing a bioinformatic and in vivo discovery pipeline, we define a network of 222 human proteins localized to BMs. Network analysis and screening in C. elegans and zebrafish identified new BM regulators, including ADAMTS, ROBO, and TGFβ. More than 100 BM-network genes associate with human phenotypes and by screening 63,039 genomes from families with rare disorders, we discovered loss-of-function variants in LAMA5, MPZL2, and MATN2, and show they regulate BM composition and function. This cross-disciplinary study establishes the immense complexity and role of BMs in human health..
