  • leucine-rich repeat (LRR)
  • immunoglobulin (Ig)-like modules
  • a ligand-binding ectodomain
  • intracellular domain that may interact with the postmitotic neuronal-specific zinc-finger protein myelin transcription factor 1-like and regulate its activity by affecting its subcellular localization1
  • mono polymer tetramer

  • endogenous LINGO1 expression in neurons in the cortex and cerebellum is intracellular
  • basic FUNCTION
  • playing essential roles in nervous system development and maintenance
  • playing an inhibitory role particularly important in regulation of oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination
  • negatively regulates myelination by oligodendrocytes
  • playing a role in the pathophysiological responses of midbrain dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson disease
  • negative regulator of oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination
  • playing an important role in modulating axonal outgrowth
  • potent axonal inhibitor of oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination that is regulated by nerve growth factor and its cognate receptor NTRK1 in a dose-dependent manner
  • functions as a negative regulator of oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination, neuronal survival and axonal regeneration
  • may participate in activities in developing neurons apart from the oligodendrocyte maturation or axon extension inhibition it influences in the adult
  • involved in the regulation of neuronal survival and axonal regeneration
  • potent negative regulator of oligodendrocyte differentiation and hence may play a pivotal restrictive role during remyelination in demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis
  • inhibits multiple aspects of oligodendrocyte differentiation independently of the LRRs via a process that requires NGFR signalling
  • key negative regulator of myelination, that is a transmembrane signaling protein expressed in both neurons and oligodendrocytes
  • acts as both a ligand and a receptor and the mechanism by which it negatively regulates oligodendrocyte precursor cells differentiation and myelination is mediated by a homophilic intercellular interaction
  • functions as a negative feedback regulator of signaling by cognate receptor tyrosine kinases including NTRK1, NTRK2 and NTRK3
  • is a negative regulator of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) differentiation
  • regulates oligodendrocyte differentiation and maturation through the cytoplasmic gelsolin signaling pathway
  • crucial role of LINGO1 in normal neuronal development and central nervous system myelination by negatively regulating oligodendrocyte differentiation and neuronal survival
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • functional component of the RTN4R/TNFRSF1B/LINGO1 and RTN4R/TNFRSF19(TROY)/LINGO1 signaling complexes that mediate inhibition of axonal outgrowth
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with RTN4R, resulting in neurite and axonal collapse (associated with the RTN4R complex and is endowed with a canonical EGF receptor (EGFR)-like tyrosine phosphorylation site)
  • as in neurons, physically associated with endogenous NGFR
  • interactions of RTN4R with its co-receptors LINGO1, NGFR and the myelin inhibitor RTN4 is facilitated by gangliosides
  • on oligodendroglial cells, LINGO1 interacts with NGFR to constitutively inhibit multiple aspects of oligodendrocyte differentiation
  • binding of RTN4R and LINGO1 was similarly inhibited by OLFM1 coexpression
  • potentiates neuronal apoptosis, likely by inhibiting WNK3 kinase activity
  • LINGO1 can directly bind to ERBB2, block ERBB2 translocation into lipid rafts, and inhibit its phosphorylation for activation
  • NGFR associated predominantly with natively expressed LINGO1 containing immature N-glycans, characteristic of protein that has not completed trans-Golgi-mediated processing

    targeted inhibition of LINGO1 presents a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of neurological diseases
    neurologydystonia 
    antagonism of LINGO1 may be a worthwhile approach to the treatment of some diseases of the central nervous system (essential tremor is on the top of the list of diseases to be assessed)
    neuromuscularneuropathy 
    Antagonism of LINGO-1 or its pathway is therefore a promising approach for the treatment of demyelinating diseases of the CNS

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
    Increased axon integrity observed in LINGO1 mouse knockout models highlights the potential role of LINGO1 in the pathophysiology of essential tremor and opens up a new field in the research into essential tremor
