Background: Neuropilin-2

Neuropilin-2 (Nrp2) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that plays an important role in neuronal axon guidance and development of the vascular system (1). Neuropilin-2 is differentially expressed in the developing nervous system (2). It binds to Semaphorins 3B, 3C, and 3F, leading to neuronal growth cone collapse (2-4). This action is important for repulsive axon guidance and accurate axon projection to target fields (4-7). Neuropilin-2 interacts with a range of proteins that regulate cell growth and morphology. It associates with TGF-beta RI and enhances the ability of TGF-beta to induce epithelial mesenchymal transition during tumorigenesis (8). It associates with Integrin alpha 6 beta 1 and promotes alpha 6 beta 1 mediated adhesion to Laminin (9). Neuropilin-2 additionally binds the heparin-binding PlGF-2, HGF, VEGF145, and VEGF165 (10, 11) and associates with VEGF R1, VEGF R2, and VEGF R3 (12, 13). The presence of Neuropilin-2 on vascular endothelial cells potentiates the angiogenic signaling effects of HGF and VEGF165 (11). Semaphorin 3F, however, can block the contribution of Neuropilin-2 to angiogenesis (13). In the vascular system, Neuropilin-2 is predominantly expressed on lymphatic vessel and capillary endothelial cells where it cooperates with VEGF R3 to induce lymphatic sprouting (14, 15). Neuropilin-2 is lost from sympathetic nerve fibers in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovium, while a soluble form is elevated in RA synovial fluid (16). Neuropilin-2 is expressed as an approximately 120 kDa molecule that associates into homo-oligomers or hetero-oligomers with Neuropilin-1 (3, 4). It can be polysialylated during dendritic cell maturation to reach sizes as large as 200 kDa (17). Mature rat Neuropilin-2 consists of an 836 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD) with two CUB domains, two complement factor 5/8-like domains, one MAM domain, and a Ser-Thr rich region, followed by a 25 aa transmembrane segment and a 42 aa cytoplasmic domain (18). Within the ECD, rat Neuropilin-2 shares 93% and 97% aa sequence identity with human and mouse Neuropilin-2, respectively.
