NMDA-Dependent Proteolysis of Presynaptic Adhesion Molecule L1 in the Hippocampus by Neuropsin

Abstract: Synaptic plasticity requires an activity-dependent, rapid, and long-lasting modification of synaptic character, including morphology and coupling strength. Here we show that a serine protease, neuropsin, directly and specifically modifies the synaptic adhesion molecule L1, which was localized to the presynaptic site of the asymmetric synapse in the mouse hippocampus. Increased neural activity triggered the rapid, transient activation of the precursor form of neuropsin in an NMDA receptor-dependent manner. The … Show more

“…Labeling for Nr-CAM, a member of the L1 family of cell adhesion molecules (Crossin and Krushel, 2000;Hortsch, 2000), often was seen in clusters of gold particles in the synaptic cleft, suggesting that the antibodies label molecules linked together across the synaptic cleft. Previous studies have indicated that both Nr-CAM and L1 are presynaptic (Lustig et al, 2001;Matsumoto-Miyai et al, 2003), and these proteins commonly form homophilic bonds between cell processes (Hortsch, 2000;Alberts and Galli, 2003). Furthermore, postsynaptic expression of another L1-family member, neurofascin, may be necessary for the establishment of basket cell axon terminal synapses on cerebellar Purkinje cells (Ango et al, 2004); also another family member is found in dendrites of developing cortical neurons and modulates neuronal positioning and dendrite orientation (Demyanenko et al, 2004).…”

“…Another Nr-CAM antibody that was used in our study was characterized bySuter et al (1995; affinity-purified; recognizes extracellular domain; this did not work as well for immunogold and was used in our study for biochemistry only). L1 antibody was characterized byAppel et al (1995;rat monoclonal;amino-acids 818-832; recognizes extracellular domain); L1 distribution in hippocampus was described using a different antibody (Matsumoto-Miyai et al, 2003). Purchased antibodies included SynGAP (see above), N-cadherin (amino acids 802-819; recognizes intracellular domain) and β-catenin (amino acids 571-781); BD/Transduction Laboratories; Lexington, KY, USA and Mississauga, ON, Canada), α-CaMKII (alpha subunit; Stressgen Biotechnologies; Victoria, British Columbia, Canada), and neuroligin (amino acids 1-695; recognizes extracellular domain; Synaptic Systems, Göttingen, Germany); the latter 4 antibodies are mouse monoclonals.…”

“…Each epidermis was homogenized with the extraction buffer containing 60 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 150 mM NaCl, 1% Nonidet P-40, and 5 mM EDTA and centrifuged at 15,000 ϫ g for 20 min at 4°C. The proteolytic activity of the supernatant was measured as described previously (20,21) with a slight modification. Briefly, 10 g of protein of the epidermal extract was incubated with 100 mM synthetic substrate Boc-Val-Pro-Arg-MCA (VPR-MCA) (Peptide Institute), Boc-Phe-Ser-Arg-MCA (FSR-MCA) (Peptide Institute), and Meo-Suc-Arg-Pro-Tyr-pNA-HCl (RPY-pNA) (Chromogenix AB) in a total volume of 1 ml at 37°C for 2 h with shaking.…”

“…These data suggest that there must be mechanisms for coordinating functional and structural remodeling of synaptic connectivity. Although such mechanisms remain incompletely understood, recent studies indicate that regulated extracellular proteolysis may be important for coupling functional and structural changes in synaptic architecture (Baranes et al 1998;Huang et al 1996;Komai et al 2000;Madani et al 1999;Mataga et al 2004;Matsumoto-Miyai et al 2003;Oray et al 2004;Pang et al 2004;Tamura et al 2006).…”
