We show a three-dimensional solution structure of human MANF that differs drastically from other neurotrophic factors. Remarkably, the C-terminal domain of MANF (C-MANF) is homologous to the SAP domain of Ku70, a well-known inhibitor of pro-apoptotic Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax). Cellular studies confirm that MANF and C-MANF protect neurons intracellularly as efficiently as Ku70. Neurotrophic factor MANF has a unique mechanism to rescue apoptotic neurons.,Hellman M, Arumae U, Yu LY, Lindholm P, Peranen J, Saarma M, Permi P J Biol Chem. 2010 Nov 3.
