  • two protein-tyrosine phosphatase domains
  • a spacer region, and a large insert with attachment sites for chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan
  • cytoplasmic portion is composed of two tyrosine phosphatase domains
  • extracellular region of PTPRZ controling the maturation of oligodendrocytes

    basic FUNCTION
  • may be involved in the regulation of specific developmental processes in the CNS
  • CSPG4 and PTPRZ1 were both present in the evolving astroglial scar and, therefore, might play an important role in the blockade of successful CNS regeneration
  • mediate cell adhesion and signaling events during development
  • PTPRG, PTPRZ1 and CNTNs are a group of receptors and ligands involved in the manifold recognition events that underlie the construction of neural networks
  • soluble protein phosphacan regulating critical step of oligodendrogenesis and is a potential promyelinating factor to repair myelin lesions in the CNS
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, differentiation
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
  • PTN/PTPRZ1 signaling pathway may be constitutively activated and potentially function to constitutively activate ALK in human breast cancer
  • a component PTPRZ1/CNTN1 complex is a previously unknown modulator of oligodendrogenesis
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • uses pleiotrophin as a ligand, and Pleiotrophin inactivates the phosphatase activity of PTPRZ1, resulting in the increase of tyrosine phosphorylation levels of its substrates
  • pleiotrophin-PTPRZ1 signaling controls subcellular localization of DNER and thereby regulates neuritogenesis
  • MGAT5B-mediated glycosylation of PTPRZ1 promotes galectin-1 binding and PTPRZ1 levels of retention on the cell surface
  • binds only to CNTN1, not other CNTN
  • multiple substrate proteins, including G protein-coupled receptor kinase-interactor 1 (GIT1), membrane-associated guanylate kinase, WW and PDZ domain-containing 1 (MAGI1), and GTPase-activating protein for Rho GTPase (ARHGAP35)
  • binds specifically to CNTN1 expressed at the surface of oligodendrocyte precursor cells
  • IGFBP2 stimulates osteoblast differentiation and this effect is mediated through its heparin-binding domain-1 interacting with PTPRZ1
  • IGFBP2/IGF1 stimulated vimentin binding to PTPRZ1 and this was required for PTPRZ1 polymerization
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    activated by preferential activation of PTPRZ1 by EPAS1 results at least in part from cooperative binding of EPAS1 and ELK1 to nearby sites on the PTPRZ1 promoter region
    Other regulated by PTN, for enhancing the activity of different systems important in cytoskeletal stability and the strength of cell-cell adhesion in stimulating degradation of cytoskeletal proteins
    MGAT5B is a regulator of PTPRZ1 signaling that influences cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions in the developing nervous system

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Ptprz-deficient adult mice display impairments in spatial and contextual learning
  • Ptprz-deficient mice show that the binding of Ptprz to Cntn1 expressed at the surface of oligodendrocyte precursor cells inhibits their proliferation and promotes their development into mature oligodendrocytes
