Binding Sequence

GDNF (glial cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor), and the closely related cytokines artemin and neurturin, bind strongly to heparin. Deletion of a basic amino-acid-rich sequence of 16 residues N-terminal to the first cysteine of the transforming growth factor β domain of GDNF results in a marked reduction in heparin binding, whereas removal of a neighbouring sequence, and replacement of pairs of other basic residues with alanine had no effect. The heparin-binding sequence is quite distinct from the binding site for the high affinity GDNF polypeptide receptor, GFRα1 (GDNF family receptor α1), and heparin-bound GDNF is able to bind GFRα1 simultaneously. The heparin-binding sequence of GDNF is dispensable both for GFRα1 binding, and for activity for in vitro neurite outgrowth assay. Surprisingly, the observed inhibition of GDNF bioactivity with the wild-type protein in this assay was still found with the deletion mutant lacking the heparin-binding sequence. Heparin neither inhibits nor potentiates GDNF–GFRα1 interaction, and the extracellular domain of GFRα1 does not bind to heparin itself, precluding heparin cross-bridging of cytokine and receptor polypeptides. The role of heparin and heparan sulfate in GDNF signalling remains unclear, but the present study indicates that it does not occur in the first step of the pathway, namely GDNF–GFRα1 engagement.
