Nogo-A is a potent neurite growth inhibitor in vitro and plays a
role both in the restriction of axonal regeneration after injury and in
structural plasticity in the CNS of higher vertebrates. The regions that
mediate inhibition and the topology of the molecule in the plasma membrane
have to be defined. Here we demonstrate the presence of three different active
sites: (1) an N-terminal region involved in the inhibition of fibroblast
spreading, (2) a stretch encoded by the Nogo-A-specific exon that restricts
neurite outgrowth and cell spreading and induces growth cone collapse, and (3)
a C-terminal region (Nogo-66) with growth cone collapsing function. We show
that Nogo-A-specific active fragments bind to the cell surface of responsive
cells and to rat brain cortical membranes, suggesting the existence of
specific binding partners or receptors. Several antibodies against different
epitopes on the Nogo-A-specific part of the protein as well as antisera
against the 66 aa loop in the C-terminus stain the cell surface of living
cultured oligodendrocytes. Nogo-A is also labeled by nonmembrane-permeable
biotin derivatives applied to living oligodendrocyte cultures.
Immunofluorescent staining of intracellular, endoplasmic reticulum-associated
Nogo-A in cells after selective permeabilization of the plasma membrane
reveals that the epitopes of Nogo-A, shown to be accessible at the cell
surface, are exposed to the cytoplasm. This suggests that Nogo-A could have a
second membrane topology. The two proposed topological variants may have
different intracellular as well as extracellular functions.
