Molecular forms of neurogranin in cerebrospinal fluid

Abstract: Neurogranin (Ng) is a 78 amino acid neuronal protein and a biomarker candidate for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Ng has been suggested to bind to calmodulin and phosphatidic acid via its centrally located IQ domain. Ng is cleaved within this functionally important domain, yielding the majority of fragments identified in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), suggesting that cleavage of Ng may be a mechanism to regulate its function.Up to now, Ng has been shown to be present in CSF as both C-terminal fragments as well as full-… Show more

“…Neurogranin (Ng, formerly named p17, also known as RC3 and BICKS) is a 78 amino acid post-synaptic protein with a molecular weight of ~12 kDa [9,10]. This protein is known to be principally expressed in the telencephalon of adult mammals, especially in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and striatum [11], as a neuronal postsynaptic protein, which is specifically located in the neuronal soma and dendrites [12].…”

“…One identified cause for concern is the high sequence similarity between neurogranin and neuromodulin within the IQ domain both proteins contain. Interestingly, the expected cross-reactivity with neuromodulin of antibodies binding the IQ domain has been confirmed in a recent study [ 119 ]. Retrospectively, the information collected through bioinformatics resources and tools could have guided researchers towards the development of antibodies with favorable epitopes.…”

“…Similarly, many proteins undergo proteolytic cleavage. Often only the cleaved fragment might serve as a biomarker; examples include the AD biomarkers amyloid- and neurogranin [ 103 , 119 ]. If a fragment is to be detected by an assay, the location of associated cleavage sites is thus essential.…”

“…Although Aβ-and tau-related AD biomarkers remain at the center stage of the AT(N) research framework, there are continuous efforts to develop novel diagnostic and prognostic fluid biomarker for AD. For example, several synaptic proteins have been identified in CSF including pre-synaptic synaptosomal-associated protein 25 (SNAP-25) and pre-synaptic proteins synaptotagmin-1 (SYT-1) (Davidsson et al, 1996(Davidsson et al, , 1999, as well as the dendritic (post-synaptic) protein neurogranin (Kvartsberg et al, 2015;Thorsell et al, 2010), which is present in CSF in several molecular forms like monomeric full-length neurogranin, and N-and C-terminal truncations of neurogranin, as well as larger forms of still unknown composition (Nazir et al, 2020). Neuronal pentraxin 2 (NPTX2) and neuronal secretory protein VGF have been found as promising synaptic biomarkers for predicting progression versus no progression from mild cognitive impairment to AD (Hendrickson et al, 2015;Spellman et al, 2015;Swanson et al, 2016).…”
