Publication Abstract from PubMed

Human-secreted Ly-6/uPAR-related protein-2 (SLURP-2) regulates the growth and differentiation of epithelial cells. Previously, the auto/paracrine activity of SLURP-2 was considered to be mediated via its interaction with the alpha3beta2 subtype of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). Here, we describe the structure and pharmacology of a recombinant analogue of SLURP-2. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy revealed a 'three-finger' fold of SLURP-2 with a conserved beta-structural core and three protruding loops. Affinity purification using cortical extracts revealed that SLURP-2 could interact with the alpha3, alpha4, alpha5, alpha7, beta2, and beta4 nAChR subunits, revealing its broader pharmacological profile. SLURP-2 inhibits acetylcholine-evoked currents at alpha4beta2 and alpha3beta2-nAChRs (IC50 ~0.17 and >3 muM, respectively) expressed in Xenopus oocytes. In contrast, at alpha7-nAChRs, SLURP-2 significantly enhances acetylcholine-evoked currents at concentrations <1 muM but induces inhibition at higher concentrations. SLURP-2 allosterically interacts with human M1 and M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) that are overexpressed in CHO cells. SLURP-2 was found to promote the proliferation of human oral keratinocytes via interactions with alpha3beta2-nAChRs, while it inhibited cell growth via alpha7-nAChRs. SLURP-2/mAChRs interactions are also probably involved in the control of keratinocyte growth. Computer modeling revealed possible SLURP-2 binding to the 'classical' orthosteric agonist/antagonist binding sites at alpha7 and alpha3beta2-nAChRs.
