Background: Calsyntenin-1

Calsyntenin-1 (CST-1; gene name CLSTN1), also called Alcadein-alpha, is a 140‑150 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is member of the Alcadein family of cadherin domain-containing molecules (1, 2). The human Calsyntenin-1 cDNA encodes 981 amino acids (aa), including a 28 aa signal sequence and the 953 aa mature protein (1). Further cleavage by ADAM10 and ADAM17 generates an N-terminal 115 kDa portion containing the two cadherin domains (aa 38‑265), termed soluble Alc‑ alpha, and a C-terminal portion, termed CTF1-alpha (1, 3). CTF1-alpha contains 34 extracellular aa, 21 transmembrane aa, and 101 cytoplasmic aa that are highly acidic and bind calcium (1, 4). Isoforms of 962-994 aa contain a 78 aa substitution for aa 917‑981, with or without deletions of aa 72‑81 and 507‑525. Within the soluble Alc‑ alpha portion (aa 30‑851), human Calsyntenin-1 shares 92% aa sequence identity with mouse, 93% with equine, and 91% with rat, canine, bovine and porcine Calsyntentin-1. It is expressed in neuronal post-synaptic plasma membranes, neuronal APP-containing early endosomal vesicles (full-length CST-1) and APP-negative recycling‑endosomal vesicles (CST-1 cleaved form), plus the secretory granules of anterior pituitary basophilic gonadotrophs and pancreatic islet alpha-cells (1-6). Soluble Alc‑ alpha mediates adhesion and can be released from axons, while CTF1-alpha can be internalized and mediates trafficking of vesicles via interaction with Kinesin-1 (1, 6-9). This interaction facilitates intracellular transport of vesicles along microtubules in axonal growth cones (7-10). Calsyntenin regulates amyloid precursor protein (APP) cleavage and transport, and perturbation of axonal transport of APP by CST-1 containing carriers results in increased production of A beta. Finally, CST-1 may also play a regulatory role in post-synaptic signaling (1, 2, 4, 8, 10).
