Tracking TrkA’s Trafficking: NGF Receptor Trafficking Controls NGF Receptor Signaling

Abstract

Growth factors such as the neurotrophins promote neuronal survival and shape neuronal morphology. Neurotrophin receptors are located on the surface of axons and dendrites and must convey their signal retrogradely to the nucleus to influence transcription of target genes. The distance between the site of receptor activation and the nucleus is tremendous. How is the retrograde transmission of survival signals being achieved? Recent work showed that signaling endosomes containing neurotrophin receptors and associated downstream kinases undergo retrograde vesicular transport along microtubules, propelled by the molecular motor dynein. The next objective in the “neurotrophin receptor trafficking meets signal transduction field” will be to elucidate the traffic control mechanisms governing the directed movement of signaling endosomes. Much is already known on the trafficking of the receptor for epidermal growth factor, EGFR. We will summarize the known traffic control mechanisms for EGFR and hypothesize whether EGFR-relevant traffic control mechanisms might also be relevant for neurotrophin receptor traffic control. Moreover, we speculate about potential implications of neurotrophin receptor traffic jams for neurodegenerative diseases.
