Mouse SorCS2 is a 110‑130 kDa member of the Vps10p (vacuolar protein sorting 10 protein)-D family of sorting receptors. It is synthesized as a 1159 amino acid (aa) preproprecursor that undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a 1042 aa mature type I transmembrane receptor. The extracellular domain shows an imperfect LRR and a Vps10p domain. SorCS2 is plasma membrane expressed and may undergo proteolytic cleavage. Over aa 118-1078, mouse SorCS2 is 88% and 98% aa identical to human and rat SorCs2, respectively.

DRD2 activation with sumanirole removes TrkB from the peripheral dendrites in iSPNs. (A) TrkB and SORCS-2 immunoreactivity in purified DRD2-SPNs. Neurons were stimulated with sumanirole for 10 min or bafilomycin for 10 min or 4 h and compared with untreated controls. DRD2 activation with sumanirole reduces surface TrkB expression in iSPNs. Prolonged treatment with bafilomycin leads to an accumulation of SORCS-2- and Lamp-1-positive structures in the soma but not in the dendrites of iSPNs. Scale bar: 10 µm. (B) TrkB immunoreactivity in the peripheral dendrites of DRD2 neurons. Sumanirole treatment leads to a retraction of TrkB from the peripheral dendrites and less association with the cargo receptor SORCS-2. The bafilomycin treatment also decreased TrkB/SORCS-2 association. Scale bar: 2 µm. (C) Quantification of TrkB/SORCS-2 colocalization in peripheral dendrites stimulated with sumanirole (Sum) or bafilomycin (Baf). Data are shown as the mean ± SEM in % of TrkB/SORCS-2 colocalization. n = 3 for every condition. One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. * p < 0.05.

SorCS2 splice variants display different trafficking.A, SorCS2-immunostained HEK293 cells transfected with SorCS2A and SorCS2C show a more paranuclear staining pattern compared to cells transfected with SorCS2B and SorCS2D for which staining is distributed in vesicular structures throughout the cell. B, surface SorCS2 was labeled with an antibody directed against its extracellular domain on ice. Trafficking was subsequently monitored by incubation at 37 °C, followed by fixation, permeabilization, and staining with a secondary antibody at indicated time points. C, after 30 min, more SorCS2A and SorCS2C accumulate in paranuclear structures positive for the trans-Golgi marker TGN46 compared to SorCS2B, and D. D, quantification of C. The data in the graph is shown as mean ± SD and comparisons between groups conducted using a t test.

Interactions with KLC1 and DYNLT3 regulate SorCS2 isoform anterograde and retrograde trafficking. Trafficking of cell surface SorCS2 variants were followed by antibody uptake experiments. Data represent SorCS2 subcellular distribution after 30 min at 37 °C. A, mutation of the DYNLT3-binding site of SorCS2A reduces its accumulation in TGN46-positive paranuclear compartments. B, mutation of the KLC1-binding site of SorCS2B increases its accumulation in TGN46-positive paranuclear compartments. The data in the graphs are shown as mean ± SD and comparisons between groups conducted using a t test. DYNLT3, dynein light chain Tctex-type 3; KLC, kinesin light chain.

SorCS2 variants selectively interacts with KLC1 and DYNLT3.A, illustration of yeast two-hybrid screen used for identification of SorCS2D ICD–binding partners. SorCS2D ICD fused to the DNA-binding protein LexA constitutes the bait, which binds upstream of a histidine reporter gene. Protein fragments from an adult human brain library fused to the activation domain (AD) of the Gal4 transcription factor is referred to as the prey. Only a physical interaction between bait and prey allows transcription of the histidine reporter gene and growth in the absence of histidine. Aside from fragments covering KLC1 and DYNLT3, the remaining eight fragments covering five proteins reached a score of 3 or less. B, representative yeast two-hybrid assay showing an interaction between SorCS2B and SorCS2D ICD with KLC1 and between ICD of all four isoforms with DYNLT3. C, SorCS2B and SorCS2D ICD fused to GST pull-down endogenous KLC1 from HEK293 cell lysate. D, DYNLT3-GST pulls down all SorCS2 isoforms from transfected HEK293 cell lysate. E, mapping by yeast two-hybrid shows that deletion of the C-terminal 20 amino acids of SorCS2D ICD compromises interactions with KLC1 and DYNLT3. F, representative yeast two-hybrid assay showing that substitutions with alanine mainly within the acidic cluster of SorCS2D ICD abrogates interactions with KLC1. In contrast, only substitutions outside the acidic cluster abrogates interactions with DYNLT3. DYNLT3, dynein light chain Tctex-type 3; ICD, intracellular domain; KLC, kinesin light chain; PD, pull down.
