Abstract

Latrophilin-1 is an Adhesion G protein-coupled receptor, which mediates the effect of α-latrotoxin, causing massive release of neurotransmitters from nerve terminals and endocrine cells. Autoproteolysis cleaves latrophilin-1 into two parts: the extracellular N-terminal fragment (NTF) and the heptahelical C-terminal fragment (CTF). NTF and CTF can exist as independent proteins in the plasma membrane, but α-latrotoxin binding to NTF induces their association and G protein-mediated signaling. We demonstrate here that CTF in synapses is phosphorylated on multiple sites. Phosphorylated CTF has a high affinity for NTF and co-purifies with it on affinity columns and on sucrose density gradients. Dephosphorylated CTF has a lower affinity for NTF and can behave as a separate protein. α-Latrotoxin (and possibly other ligands of latrophilin-1) binds both to the NTF-CTF complex and to receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatase σ, bringing them together. This leads to CTF dephosphorylation and facilitates CTF release from the complex. We propose that ligand-dependent phosphorylationdephosphorylation of latrophilin-1 could affect the interaction between its fragments and its functions as a G protein-coupled receptor.
