The collapsin response mediator protein 2 (CRMP-2) is a central molecule regulating axonal growth cone guidance. It interacts with the cytoskeleton and mediates signals related to myelin-induced axonal growth inhibition. CRMP-2 has also been characterized as a constituent of neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer’s disease. | ỊFEBS Journal Crystal and solution structure stability and post-translational modifications of collapsin response mediator protein 2 Viivi Majava1 Noora Loytynoja1 Wei-Qiang Chen2 Gert Lubec2 and Petri Kursula1 1 Department of Biochemistry University of Oulu Finland 2 Department of Pediatrics MedicalUniversity of Vienna Austria Keywords divalent cations nervous system oligomeric status protein structure small-angle X-ray scattering Correspondence P.

It interacts with the cytoskeleton and mediates signals related to myelin-induced axonal growth inhibition. CRMP-2 has also been characterized as a constituent of neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer s disease. CD spectroscopy and thermal stability assays using the Thermofluor method indicated that Ca2 and Mg2 affect the stability of CRMP-2 and prevent the formation of b-aggregates upon heating. Gel filtration showed that the presence of Ca2 or Mg2 promoted the formation of CRMP-2 homotetramers and this was further proven by small-angle X-ray scattering experiments where a 3D solution structure for CRMP-2 was obtained. Previously we described a crystal structure of human CRMP-2 complexed with calcium. In the present study we determined the structure of CRMP-2 in the absence of calcium at A resolution. When Ca2 was omitted crystals could only be grown in the presence of Mg2 ions. By a proteomic approach we further identified a number of post-translational modifications in CRMP-2 from rat brain hippocampus and mapped them onto the crystal structure. doi .
