Reference: Duplan L et al.(2010) Collapsin response mediator protein 4a (CRMP4a) is upregulated in motoneurons of mutant SOD1 mice and can trigger motoneuron axonal degeneration and cell death J. Neurosci. 30: 785-796 [PMID: 20071543]

Interaction Information:

Comment Proteomic analysis of SOD1G85R motoneurons exposed to nitric oxide revealed increased levels of CRMP4 (DPYSL3) expression. By the treatment of mutant SOD1G85R motoneurons with concentrations of NO (nitric oxide) that are sufficient to trigger mSOD1 motoneuron death but not that of wild-type motoneurons, only CRMP4 (isoform CRMP4a), of all the proteins that can be detected at this level of sensitivity, appeared to be upregulated in a manner that correlated with neuronal susceptibility.

Comment Overexpression of CRMP4a (DPYSL3, isoform a) led to a 60% reduction in axonal length in motoneurons in contrast to overexpression of CRMP2 which had no significant effect on axonal outgrowth.
