Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and a related
factor, neurturin, promote survival of diverse groups of neurons. Both
GDNF and neurturin signal via a two-component receptor complex that
consists of a ligand-binding GDNF family receptor (GFR -1 or
GFR -2) and the receptor protein tyrosine kinase Ret. Recently, a
third receptor related to GFR -1 and GFR -2 has also been isolated
and designated GFR -3. Although much is known about the interaction
among GDNF family factors, Ret, and the -receptors in
vitro, it remains unclear about their interactions in
vivo. We show here by in situ hybridization that
Ret and the -receptors may be colocalized in the same tissues or
expressed separately in projecting and target tissues, respectively,
indicating that two distinct modes of interaction between Ret and the
-receptors exist in vivo. First, Ret may interact
with the -receptors expressed in the same cells (termed interaction
"in cis") in many tissues and cell populations that respond to GDNF
and/or neurturin, such as the substantia nigra, dorsal root ganglia,
spinal cord motoneurons, kidney, and intestine. Second, Ret may
interact with the -receptors localized in the target neurons (termed
interaction "in trans"). In addition, we present evidence in
vitro that GFR -1 mediates Ret activation by GDNF in trans.
These observations suggest that there are multiple mechanisms
regulating the interaction between Ret and the -receptors that
mediates the effects of GDNF family trophic factors on the survival and
differentiation of cells and on neuron-target interactions in the
nervous system.
