چکیده
However, enhancing neurotrophin binding is not the Cornell University Medical College only role for p75. A number of reports suggest that it New York, New York 10021 also modulates trk signaling. While it is clear that trk †Growth Factor and Regeneration Group signaling can occur in the absence of p75, the reDepartment of Neuroscience sponses are increased in its presence. For example, Max Delbrück Institute for Molecular Medicine sympathoadrenal cells (MAH cells) expressing only trkA Berlin-Buch D-13122 extended neurites and survived in the presence of NGF Federal Republic of Germany but when coexpressing p75 showed an 8-fold higher

p75NTR--live or let die.
During neuronal development, neurotrophins are essential factors that promote survival, differentiation and myelination of neurons. The trophic signals are relayed to the cells via binding to Trk receptor tyrosine kinases and the p75 neurotrophin receptor. Paradoxically, the p75 neurotrophin receptor also ensures rapid and appropriate apoptosis of neonatal neurons not reaching their proper targ...
متن کاملFates of neurotrophins after retrograde axonal transport: phosphorylation of p75NTR is a sorting signal for delayed degradation.
Neurotrophins can mediate survival or death of neurons. Opposing functions of neurotrophins are based on binding of these ligands to two distinct types of receptors: trk receptors and p75NTR. Previous work showed that target-derived NGF induces cell death, whereas BDNF and NT-3 enhance survival of neurons in the isthmo-optic nucleus of avian embryos. To determine the fate of retrogradely transp...
متن کاملp75 neurotrophin receptor signaling regulates growth cone filopodial dynamics through modulating RhoA activity.
The mechanisms by which neurotrophins regulate growth cone motility are unclear. We investigated the role of the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) in mediating neurotrophin-induced increases in filopodial length. Our data demonstrate that neurotrophin binding to p75NTR is necessary and sufficient to regulate filopodial dynamics. Furthermore, retinal and dorsal root ganglion growth cones from p...
متن کاملDynamic Structure of NGF and proNGF Complexed with p75NTR: Pro-Peptide Effect
Crystallographic structures of NGF/p75NTR and proNGF/p75NTR were previously obtained in 2:1 and 2:2 stoichiometries, respectively. However, evidence shows that both stoichiometries can occur for mature neurotrophins and pro-neurotrophins. We used Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations to examine the energetic and structural characteristics of these two complete systems as well as the uncomplexed f...
متن کاملImbalance of the Nerve Growth Factor and Its Precursor: Implication in Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in working age in US and worldwide. Neurotrophins including nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) and neurotrophin-4 (NT-4) are known to be essential for growth, differentiation and survival of neurons in the developing and mature retina. Nevertheless, a growing body of evidence supports ...
