Annotation description:Shedding of the LRP1 extracellular domain is the regulated step during the proteolytical processing of LRP1, and cleavage by the γ-secretase complex to release the LRP1 intracellular domain follows constitutively.

Figure 4: activation of NMDA receptors accelerates the rate of LRP1 proteolytical processing, but NMDA-induced increase of LRP1 cleavage does not involve direct binding of NMDA to LRP1.

Figure 5: "LRP1 facilitates NMDA-induced degradation of PSD-95, and in the absence of LRP1, ubiquitinated PSD-95 Is increased, whereas NMDA-induced GluA1 internalization is reduced. ... Furthermore, NMDA treatment led to the accumulation of ubiquitinated PSD-95 in LRP1-deficient cortical neurons (Fig. 5B, a and b). Interestingly, treatment with the proteasome inhibitors MG-132 and epoxomicin blocked NMDA-induced degradation of PSD-95 neither in LRP1-deficient nor in control cells (data not shown). This indicates that degradation was non-proteasomal and that ubiquitination served a purpose other than delivery of PSD-95 to the proteasome, as found in an earlier work by Bianchetta et al. (26), who linked ubiquitination of PSD-95 to its interaction with the endocytosis machinery of neurons."

Figure 6: "Examination of the AMPA receptor subunit GluA1, on the other hand, demonstrated greatly reduced NMDA-induced internalization of this receptor in the absence of LRP1 both by measurement of internalized protein and by biotin labeling of surface-localized subunits (Fig. 6A, a and b). Endocytosis of GluA1 and LRP1 followed a similar time course (Fig. 6A, a and c). Furthermore, we could show by co-immunoprecipitation from neuronal lysates that there is a physical interaction between LRP1 and GluA1 (Fig. 6B) that might play a role, directly or through other interacting proteins, in the effect of LRP1 on NMDA-induced GluA1 endocytosis."

"Here, we show that endogenous PSD-95 can be coprecipitated with LRP1 from cultured primary neurons. Treatment of cells with NMDA reduces the amount of PSD-95 that is brought down with LRP1, indicating a function-dependent interaction of the two proteins. In addition, we demonstrate that NMDA receptor subunits also coprecipitate with neuronal LRP1 and that they colocalize with LRP1 in neurons." @ PMID:15456862
