Wild-type transferrin receptor and several deletion mutants of this receptor lacking portions of the cytoplasmic tail were expressed in cultured hippocampal neurons using defective herpes virus. Mutants lacking cytoplasmic amino acids 7-10, 11-14 or 19-28 (which includes the YTRF [single-letter amino acid code] internalization signal beginning at residue 20) are targeted to both axons and dendrites. These regions do not overlap with portions of the cytoplasmic tail that have been shown to be important for basolateral targeting of the transferrin receptor in MDCK cells [10].

EMBO J 1996, 15:5218-5229. Wild-type β-amyloid precursor protein (β-APP) and mutants lacking the cytoplasmic tail or various regions of the ectodomain were expressed in cultured hippocampal neurons using Semliki Forest virus. Axonal delivery of β-APP requires the following two regions in the ectodomain: a membrane-proximal segment within the β-amyloid domain, and a more distal region that includes putative N-glycosylation sites.

These investigators show that two previously identified adaptor complex subunit homologs, p47 and β-NAP [24,25], can be co-immunoprecipitated in an adaptor-like heterotetrameric complex. The complex is recruited to Golgi membranes in the presence of GTP-γS, suggesting that it functions in a vesicle coat. This complex does not co-purify with clathrin-coated vesicles, and appears by immunogold electron microscopy to be associated with a novel vesicle coat that is thinner than clathrin coats.

These authors cloned the cDNA encoding a novel homolog of the adaptor complex a chain, and showed that it is present in a ubiquitously expressed adaptor-like complex (termed AP3) with a subunit that cross-reacts with antibodies to the neuron-specific adaptor complex subunit, β-NAP. In yeast two-hybrid studies, the putative μ chain of this ubiquitous complex, p47A, binds to the YQRL (single-letter amino acid code) sorting motif from the trans-Golgi network protein TGN38. The neuron-specific homolog of the μ chain, p47B, interacts with this motif with significantly lower affinity.

J Comp Neurol 1996, 367:222-234. In cultured rat cortical neurons, botulinum toxin-C (BoNT-C) - which these authors show cleaves synaptosome-associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25) in addition to syntaxin - inhibits neurite outgrowth and eventually causes cell death. Cultures treated with BoNT-A (which selectively cleaves SNAP-25) have reduced axonal arbors. Tetanus toxin, which effectively blocks potassium-induced neurotransmitter release, does not impair axon outgrowth.

J Cell Biol 1996, 134:205-215. Botulinum toxin-C causes growth cone collapse in chick dorsal root ganglion and retinal explants and impairs neurite elongation. Electron microscopic examination reveals significant accumulation of membranous organelles within growth cones of treated neurons. Introduction of peptides corresponding to the region of syntaxin required for interaction with synaptobrevin and α-SNAP also causes growth cone collapse and inhibition of neurite outgrowth.

This is the most recent of a series of articles delineating a role for neurotrophins in the regulation of dendritic growth in the cerebral cortex. By neutralizing endogenous neurotrophins in organotypic slices of developing visual cortex with Trk receptor antisera, it was observed that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin-3 oppose one another in the regulation of dendritic growth, and that these effects are lamina-specific.

Transgenic mice expressing a constitutively active mutant of human Rac1 under the control of the Purkinje-cell-specific L7 promoter perform poorly in tests of cerebellar function, consistent with a defect in cerebellar circuitry. Purkinje cells develop normal dendritic arbors but with numerous, unusually small spines; axonal terminal fields in the deep cerebellar nuclei are reduced.
