Pro-Region of Neurotrophins Role in Synaptic Modulation
Neurotrophins are synthesized first as precursors, followed by maturation through proteolytic removal of the "pro" region. Since pro- and mature neurotrophins elicit opposite functional effects by differential interactions with Trks and p75 receptors, extracellular cleavage represents a new way to control the synaptic functions of neurotrophins. A single nucleotide mutation in the pro-region ap...
متن کاملNeurotrophin secretion: current facts and future prospects.
The proteins of the mammalian neurotrophin family (nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) and neurotrophin-4/5 (NT-4/5)) were originally identified as neuronal survival factors. During the last decade, evidence has accumulated implicating them (especially BDNF) in addition in the regulation of synaptic transmission and synaptogenesis in the CN...

nature neuroscience • volume 2 no 4 • april 1999 Activity-dependent synaptic modifications are crucial to the normal development and function of the nervous system, but the basic underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Recently, it has been proposed that activity-dependent synaptic plasticity may involve a family of secreted proteins known as neurotrophins1–5. Neurotrophins were initial...
متن کاملThe Effects of Novel Mutations in A1 Domain of Human Coagulation Factor VIII on Its Secretion Level in Cultured Mammalian Cells
Inefficient secretion of the human coagulation factor (hFVIII) in mammalian expression systems is one ofthe main causes of the hFVIII low expression level, attributed to its interaction with a chaperone known asBiP/GRP78. In order to improve secretion efficiency of the hFVIII, based on the higher secretion level of theporcine FVIII and analysis of the hFVIII A110 region, that ...
متن کاملThe neurotrophin hypothesis for synaptic plasticity.
The neurotrophin hypothesis proposes that neurotrophins participate in activity-induced modification of synaptic transmission. Increasingly, evidence indicates that the synthesis, secretion and actions of neurotrophins on synaptic transmission are regulated by electrical activity and that neurotrophins themselves can acutely modify synaptic efficacy. Neurotrophins appear to exert either a permi...
