"Pull-down studies demonstrated that myr-tat-CBD3 peptide interfered with the CRMP2CaV2.2 interaction."

"We tested the hypothesis that replacement of the TAT motif with the presumably superior cell penetrating prowess of the homopolyarginine motif ( xref ) would prevent CRMP2CaV2.2 interaction, block Ca 2+ influx in sensory neurons, and be effective in reducing pain-related behavior in various models of peripheral neuropathy."

"These findings suggest that the biochemical interaction between CRMP-2 and CaV2.2 is required for proper channel trafficking and function."

"We report that myristoylated tat-CBD3 is membrane tethered, restricts the CaV2.2CRMP2 interaction, blocks CaV2.2 trafficking, and strongly inhibits Ca 2+ influx from primary sensory neurons."

"We first tested if the nona-arginine (R9) motif conjugated to the CBD3 peptide of CRMP2, designated ST2-104 peptide, could interfere with the CaV2.2CRMP2 interaction."

sparser
"We tested the hypothesis ( xref ) that uncoupling the CRMP-2CaV2.2 interaction would lead to a physiologically relevant decrease in Ca 2+ current and neurotransmitter release and, in turn, suppress persistent inflammatory and neuropathic hypersensitivity."

"To develop a reagent to disrupt the interaction of CRMP-2 with the CaV2.2 complex in vivo , we synthesized a series of overlapping 15-amino-acid peptides covering the entire length of CRMP-2, including three CaV binding domains (CBDs1–3) we had previously identified in vitro as crucial for the CRMP-2CaV2.2 interaction xref ."

"Probing of the CRMP2-enriched fraction with a CaV2.2 antibody demonstrated a robust interaction between CaV2.2 and CRMP2 ( xref ; top blot, lanes 1, 2 ) whereas a glutathione beads only pull-down did not capture any CaV2.2 ( xref ; top blot, lane 7 )."

"Similar to TAT-conjugated CBD3 (designated ST1-104), the R9-conjugated CBD3 (designated ST2-104) peptide interfered with the CaV2.2CRMP2 interaction."

sparser
"The functional consequence of the disrupted CaV2.2CRMP2 interaction was a significantly higher extent (i.e. efficacy) of inhibition of calcium influx in sensory neurons."

sparser
"Reasoning that the reported superior cell penetrating ability of the nona-arginine CPP ( xref ) may allow for greater uptake of the peptide which may result in superior biochemical and functional uncoupling of the CaV2.2CRMP2 interaction and suppression of transmitter release from nociceptive neurons culminating in efficacy in chronic pain models, we tested the R9 grafted CBD3 (i.e. ST2-104) peptide in the TNI model of traumatic neuropathy."

sparser
"These findings are entirely consistent with our previous results demonstrating longer periods of pain-related behavior reversal in the TNI versus the ddC model following systemic injection of a TAT-conjugated peptide from calcium channels that breaks the CaV2.2CRMP2 interaction ( xref ) as well as with the CRMP2-derived ST1-104 peptide ( xref )."

"A screening protocol of >50 novel molecules unexpectedly identified the small molecule ( S )-lacosamide (( S )-LCM) xref as a novel inhibitor of CRMP2 interactions with CaV2.2."

"Immunoprecipitations from spinal cord lysates demonstrated that CBD3 peptide inhibited the interaction between CRMP-2 and CaV2.2 ( xref ; top, middle ) but did not affect the interaction between tubulin and CRMP-2 xref ( xref , bottom )."

sparser
"Thus, in vitro , CBD3 disrupts the CRMP-2-CaV2.2 interaction and affects CaV2.2 trafficking and Ca 2+ current density."

"Direct interaction of the two proteins was confirmed using a short fifteen amino acid peptide from CRMP2, which when conjugated to the cell penetrant peptide from the TAT protein of HIV (designated TAT-CBD3), abrogated the interaction between CRMP2 and CaV2.2."

"Binding of the axonal CRMP2 to CaV2.2 reduces the channel function during the suppression of neuropathic pain."

sparser
"Thus, our results indicate that using TAT-CBD3 which interferes with CaV2.2 and CRMP-2 interactions can reduce inflammatory and neuropathic pain behaviors."

sparser
"We reasoned that by uncoupling the interaction between CaV2.2 and CRMP-2 within primary afferent sensory neurons, we would be able to mimic the inhibition of neurotransmitter release observed with siRNA knockdown of CRMP-2."

"Direct interaction of the two proteins was confirmed using a short fifteen amino acid peptide from CRMP2, which when conjugated to the cell penetrant peptide from the TAT protein of HIV (designated TAT-CBD3), abrogated the interaction between CRMP2 and CaV2.2."

"In physiological conditions, CRMP2’s interaction with CaV2.2 is finely tuned by post-translational modifications."

"N-myristate-tat-CBD3 peptide inhibits the CaV2.2CRMP2 interaction."

"Interestingly, in this animal model of pain, the peptide is administered systemically after the development of chronic hypersensitivity and is still able to effectively attenuate nociceptive behaviors, suggesting a continued role for the interaction of CRMP-2 and CaV2.2 on neurotransmitter release."
