Functional redundancy is a possible explanation. Using in vitro findings that AChE is able to bind to laminin-111 together with detailed information about the interaction sites as well as an epitope analysis of adhesion-inhibiting anti-AChE mAbs we have used molecular docking and bioinformatics techniques to explore this idea investigating structurally similar molecules that have a comparable spatiotemporal expression pattern in the embryonic nervous system. On this basis molecules with which AChE could be redundant are the syndecans glypicans perlecan the receptor tyrosine kinase Mer and the low-density lipoprotein receptor. It is also highly likely that AChE may be redundant with the homologous neuroligins although there is no evidence that the latter are expressed before synaptogenesis. AChE was observed to dock with Gas6 the ligand for Mer as well as with apolipoprotein E3 but not apolipoprotein E4 both at the same site as the laminin interaction. These findings suggest that AChE may show direct functional redundancy with one or more of these molecules .
