Abstract
A number of studies performed on rodents suggest that insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2) or its analogs may possibly be used for treating some conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease, autistic spectrum disorders or aging-related cognitive impairment. Still, for translational research a comparative knowledge about the function of IGF-2 and related molecules in model organisms (rats and mice) and humans is necessary. There is a number of important differences in IGF-2 signaling between species. In the present review we emphasize species-specific patterns of IGF-2 expression in rodents, humans and some other mammals, using, among other sources, publicly available transcriptomic data. We provide a detailed description of Igf2 mRNA expression regulation and pre-pro-IGF-2 protein processing in different species. We also summarize the function of IGF-binding proteins. We describe three different receptors able to bind IGF-2 and discuss the role of IGF-2 signaling in learning and memory, as well as in neuroprotection. We hope that comprehensive understanding of similarities and differences in IGF-2 signaling between model organisms and humans will be useful for development of more effective medicines targeting IGF-2 receptors.

Abstract
Considerable research supports a model in which hydrolytic enzymes of mammalian lysosomes are sorted to their destinations in a receptor-dependent mechanism. The ligand for the mammalian sorting receptors is mannose 6-phosphate (M6P). Two M6P receptors have been defined in mammals. Here, we review the foundational evidence supporting this mechanism and highlight the remaining gaps in our understanding of the mammalian mechanism, including evidence for M6P-independent sorting, and its relevance to lysosomal enzyme sorting in metazoa.

Abstract
The insulin-like growth factor-II/mannose-6-phosphate (IGF-II/M6P) receptor is a single-pass transmembrane glycoprotein that plays an important role in the intracellular trafficking of lysosomal enzymes and endocytosis-mediated degradation of IGF-II. However, its role in signal transduction after IGF-II binding remains unclear. In the present study, we report that IGF-II/M6P receptor in the rat brain is coupled to a G-protein and that its activation by Leu27IGF-II, an analog that binds rather selectively to the IGF-II/M6P receptor, potentiates endogenous acetylcholine release from the rat hippocampal formation. This effect is mediated by a pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive GTP-binding protein and is dependent on protein kinase Calpha (PKCalpha)-induced phosphorylation of downstream substrates, myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate, and growth associated protein-43. Additionally, treatment with Leu27IGF-II causes a reduction in whole-cell currents and depolarization of cholinergic basal forebrain neurons. This effect, which is blocked by an antibody against the IGF-II/M6P receptor, is also sensitive to PTX and is mediated via activation of a PKC-dependent pathway. These results together revealed for the first time that the single transmembrane domain IGF-II/M6P receptor expressed in the brain is G-protein coupled and is involved in the regulation of central cholinergic function via the activation of specific intracellular signaling cascades.

Abstract
Heptahelical of serpentine receptors such as the adrenergic receptors are well known to mediate their actions via heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins. Likewise, receptors that traverse the cell membrane once have been shown to mediate their biological actions by activating several different mechanisms including stimulation of their intrinsic tyrosine kinase activities or the kinase activities of other proteins. Some of these single transmembrane receptors have an intrinsic guanylyl cyclase activity and can stimulate the cyclic GMP second messenger system; however, over the last few years, several studies have shown the involvement of heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins in mediating signals that eventually culminate in the biological actions of single transmembrane spanning receptors and proteins. These receptors include the receptor tyrosine kinases that mediate the actions of growth factors such as epidermal growth factor, insulin, insulin-like growth factor as well as receptors for atrial natiuretic hormone or the zona pellucida protein (ZP3) and integrins. In this review, the significance of the coupling of the single transmembrane spanning receptors to G proteins has been highlighted by providing several examples of the concept that signaling via these receptors may involve the activation of multiple signaling cascades.

Abstract
Rat natriuretic peptide clearance receptor (NPR-C) contains four sequences capable of inhibiting adenylyl cyclase. We have undertaken mutational and deletion studies on the intracellular domain of rat NPR-C to determine which of these sequences is functionally relevant. Nine mutant receptors were constructed by deletion of 11 or 28 COOH-terminal residues or by site-directed mutagenesis of basic residues in a 17-amino acid sequence, R(469)RNHQEESNIGKHRELR(485), corresponding to the main active peptide. Substitution of arginine residues (R(469)R(470)) flanking the NH(2) terminus abolished G(i1) and G(i2) and PLC-beta activities and inhibition of adenylyl cyclase. Substitution of one or two basic residues (H(481) and/or R(482) or R(485)) in the COOH-terminal motif (H(481)RELR(485)) greatly decreased or abolished G protein and PLC-beta activities and inhibition of adenylyl cyclase. This implies that sequences NH(2)-terminal to the motif or COOH-terminal to R(470) could not sustain receptor activity in situ, although they exhibited activity when used as synthetic peptides. Deletion of the 11 COOH-terminal residues (E(486) to A(496)) suggested an autoinhibitory function for this sequence. We conclude that the 17-amino acid sequence (R(469) to R(485)) in the middle region of the intracellular domain of NPR-C is both necessary and sufficient for activation of G proteins and effector enzymes.

Abstract
The epsilon4 genotype of apolipoprotein E (apoE4) is the most established predisposing factor in Alzheimer's disease (AD); however, it remains unclear how apoE4 contributes to the pathophysiology. Here, we report that the apoE4 protein (ApoE4) evokes apoptosis in neuronal cells through the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) and heterotrimeric GTPases. We examined neuron/neuroblastoma hybrid F11 cells and found that these cells were killed by 30 microg/ml ApoE4, but not by 30 microg/ml ApoE3. ApoE4-induced death occurred with typical features for apoptosis in time- and dose-dependent manners, and was observed in SH-SY5Y neuroblastomas, but not in glioblastomas or non-neuronal Chinese hamster ovary cells. Activated, but not native, alpha2-macroglobulin suppressed this ApoE4 toxicity. Suppression by the antisense oligonucleotide to LRP and inhibition by low nanomolar concentrations of LRP-associated protein RAP provided evidence for the involvement of LRP. The involvement of heterotrimeric GTPases was demonstrated by the findings that (1) ApoE4-induced death was suppressed by pertussis toxin (PTX), but not by heat-inactivated PTX; and (2) transfection with PTX-resistant mutant cDNAs of Galpha(i) restored the toxicity of ApoE4 restricted by PTX. We thus conclude that one of the neurotoxic mechanisms triggered by ApoE4 is to activate a cell type-specific apoptogenic program involving LRP and the G(i) class of GTPases and that the apoE4 gene may play a direct role in the pathogenesis of AD and other forms of dementia.

Abstract
In familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD), mutations to I, F, and G have been discovered at V642 in the neuron-specific version of the amyloid precursor protein APP695. It has been found that expression of each FAD mutant suppresses the transcriptional activity of the cAMP response element CRE in a G alpha(o)-dependent manner in a COS cell clone NK1 [Ikezu et al. (1996) EMBO J. 15, 2468-2475]. Here we show that adenylyl cyclase (AC) inhibition is probably not the prerequisite for this pathway. First, expression of each FAD mutant in NK1 cells had no effect on AC activity stimulated by cholera toxin and by mutationally activated G alpha(s), although the same expression completely repressed the stimulated CRE. Second, a transfected activating mutant of G alpha(o) inhibited CRE without detectable suppression of AC, whereas similarly transfected activating G alpha(i2) inhibited both AC and CRE. Third, FAD mutant-induced inhibition occurred for CRE activity stimulated by dibutyryl cAMP. These data suggest that CRE suppression by FAD mutants of APP could occur independently of AC.

Abstract
The insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II)/mannose-6-phosphate (M-6-P) receptor is known to participate in endocytosis as well as sorting of lysosomal enzymes and is involved in membrane trafficking through rapid cycling between cytosolic membrane compartments and the plasma membrane. Here we demonstrate that IGF-II, acting through the IGF-II/M-6-P receptor, promotes exocytosis of insulin in the pancreatic beta cell. The effect of IGF-II was evoked at nonstimulatory concentrations of glucose, was mediated by a pertussis toxin sensitive GTP-binding protein, was dependent on protein kinase C-induced phosphorylation, and was independent of changes in cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration. Since the applied concentration of IGF-II is within the range normally found free in circulation in humans, this novel signaling pathway for the IGF-II/M-6-P receptor is likely to be involved in modulation of insulin exocytosis under physiological conditions.

Abstract
In familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD), missense point mutations V642I/F/G, which co-segregate with the disease phenotype, have been discovered in amyloid precursor APP695. Here, we report that three FAD mutants (FAD-APPs) negatively regulated the transcriptional activity of cAMP response element (CRE) by a G(o)-dependent mechanism, but expression of wildtype APP695 had no effect on CRE. Experiments with various Galpha(s) chimeras demonstrated that Phe-APP coupled selectively to the C-terminus of Galpha(0). Again, wild-type APP695 had no effect on its C-terminus. These data indicate that FAD-APPs are gain-of-function mutants of APP695 that negatively regulate the CRE activity through G(o). This negative transactivation of CRE is the first biochemically analyzed signal evoked by the three FAD-APPs, but not by wild-type APP695, in a whole-cell system. We discuss the significance of constitutive CRE suppression by FAD-APPs, which is potentially relevant to synaptic malplasticity or memory disorders.

Abstract
We examined the signaling function of the IGF-II/mannose 6-phosphate receptor (IGF-IIR) by transfecting IGF-IIR cDNAs into COS cells, where adenylyl cyclase (AC) was inhibited by transfection of constitutively activated G alpha i cDNA (G alpha i2Q205L). In cells transfected with IGF-IIR cDNA, IGF-II decreased cAMP accumulation promoted by cholera toxin or forskolin. This effect of IGF-II was not observed in untransfected cells or in cells transfected with IGF-IIRs lacking Arg2410-Lys2423. Thus, IGF-IIR, through its cytoplasmic domain, mediates the Gi-linked action of IGF-II in living cells. We also found that IGF-IIR truncated with C-terminal 28 residues after Ser2424 caused G beta gamma-dominant response of AC in response to IGF-II by activating Gi. Comparison with the G alpha i-dominant response of AC by intact IGF-IIR suggests that the C-terminal 28-residue region inactivates G beta gamma. This study not only provides further evidence that IGF-IIR has IGF-II-dependent signaling function to interact with heteromeric G proteins with distinct roles by different cytoplasmic domains, it also suggests that IGF-IIR can separate and sequestrate the G alpha and G beta gamma signals following Gi activation.

Abstract
The binding of insulin-like growth factor II (IGF II) to the mannose 6-phosphate (M6P)/IGF II receptor has previously been reported to induce the activation of trimeric G(i)2 proteins by functional coupling to a 14-amino acid region within the cytoplasmic receptor domain (Nishimoto, I., Murayama, Y., Katada, T., Ui, M., and Ogata, E. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 14029-14038). In the present study, we examined further the potential functional coupling of G-proteins with the human M6P/IGF II receptor and mutant receptors lacking the proposed G-protein activator sequence. IGF II treatment of mouse L-cells expressing either wild type or mutant M6P/IGF II receptors failed to attenuate the pertussis toxin-catalyzed modification of a 40-kDa protein or enhance GTPase activity. In broken L-cell membranes expressing wild type or mutant M6P/IGF II receptors, 30 nM IGF II also failed to affect the pertussis toxin substrate activity. By using phospholipid vesicles reconstituted with human wild type or mutant M6P/IGF II receptors and pertussis toxin-sensitive G-proteins, no stimulation of GTP gamma S binding to or GTPase activity of G(i)2, G(o)1, or G(i)/G(o) mixtures were observed in response to 1 microM IGF II. Furthermore, in vesicles containing purified wild type M6P/IGF II receptors and monomeric G alpha o1 or G alpha i2 and beta gamma dimers no effects of IGF II on GTP gamma S binding could be detected. However, when vesicles reconstituted with M6P/IGF II receptors and G(i)2 proteins were incubated with 100 microM mastoparan GTP gamma S binding was stimulated and GTPase activity was increased significantly. These results indicate that the human M6P/IGF II receptor neither interacts with G-proteins in mouse L-cell membranes nor is coupled to G(i)2 proteins in phospholipid vesicles. This study suggests strongly that the M6P/IGF II receptor does not function in transmembrane signaling in response to IGF II.
