[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PLXA1_HUMAN PLXA1_HUMAN] Coreceptor for SEMA3A, SEMA3C, SEMA3F and SEMA6D. Necessary for signaling by class 3 semaphorins and subsequent remodeling of the cytoskeleton. Plays a role in axon guidance, invasive growth and cell migration. Class 3 semaphorins bind to a complex composed of a neuropilin and a plexin. The plexin modulates the affinity of the complex for specific semaphorins, and its cytoplasmic domain is required for the activation of down-stream signaling events in the cytoplasm. Acts as coreceptor of TREM2 for SEMA6D in dendritic cells and is involved in the generation of immune responses and skeletal homeostasis.[UniProtKB:P70206] | |||

== Publication Abstract from PubMed == | |||
Neuropilin-2 (NRP2) is a pleiotropic receptor with diverse roles across biological systems. Recent work detailed its role as an immunomodulatory receptor target that is currently being explored in clinical development for interstitial lung diseases, establishing it as a viable therapeutic target. To mediate its diverse effects, NRP2 interacts with endogenous ligands, including semaphorins (SEMAs) and vascular endothelial growth factors, signaling via ligand-induced heterodimerization with various receptor families. One of these ligands, SEMA3F exhibits well-documented tumor-suppressive activities mediated through NRP2 and plexinA1 (PLXNA1). Despite its observed benefits, SEMA3F is not therapeutically viable due to the multifaceted nature of its functions through non-NRP2-mediated interactions, leading to concerns around potential toxicity. Here, we describe development of bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) that dimerize PLXNA1 and NRP2, selectively mimicking the beneficial aspects of SEMA3F signaling as a basis for a novel anticancer therapy. Using a single B cell-based mAb discovery platform, anti-PLXNA1 mAbs with diverse lineages were generated and combined with anti-NRP2 mAbs to produce over 200 PLXNA1-NRP2 bsAbs. Antibodies were screened in cell-based assays (receptor dimerization, phospho-AKT, oncogene expression, and cell proliferation), yielding one bsAb capable of mimicking NRP2-mediated SEMA3F activities in all assays. Structural studies revealed that this bsAb binds to PLXNA1/NRP2 at sites distinct from the SEMA3F-binding site, but in a manner that allows proper spacing for receptor complex formation and flexibility of conformational changes for signaling. This study demonstrates the potential of these receptors as targets for agonistic bsAbs development and provides the groundwork for further exploration in tumor models. | |||
