Crystal structure of human LGI1 EPTP-ADAM22 complex
Structural highlights
FunctionADA22_HUMAN Probable ligand for integrin in the brain. This is a non catalytic metalloprotease-like protein. Involved in regulation of cell adhesion and spreading and in inhibition of cell proliferation. Neuronal receptor for LGI1.[1] [2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedEpilepsy is a common brain disorder throughout history. Epilepsy-related ligand-receptor complex, LGI1-ADAM22, regulates synaptic transmission and has emerged as a determinant of brain excitability, as their mutations and acquired LGI1 autoantibodies cause epileptic disorders in human. Here, we report the crystal structure of human LGI1-ADAM22 complex, revealing a 2:2 heterotetrameric assembly. The hydrophobic pocket of the C-terminal epitempin-repeat (EPTP) domain of LGI1 binds to the metalloprotease-like domain of ADAM22. The N-terminal leucine-rich repeat and EPTP domains of LGI1 mediate the intermolecular LGI1-LGI1 interaction. A pathogenic R474Q mutation of LGI1, which does not exceptionally affect either the secretion or the ADAM22 binding, is located in the LGI1-LGI1 interface and disrupts the higher-order assembly of the LGI1-ADAM22 complex in vitro and in a mouse model for familial epilepsy. These studies support the notion that the LGI1-ADAM22 complex functions as the trans-synaptic machinery for precise synaptic transmission.
