Leucine-rich glioma inactivated 3 (LGI3) is a member of LGI/epitempin (EPTP) family. The biological function of LGI3 and its association with disease are not known. We previously reported that mouse LGI3 was highly expressed in brain in a developmentally and transcriptionally regulated manner. In this study, we identified syntaxin 1, a SNARE component in exocytosis, as a candidate functional target ofLGI3. Western blot analysis of mouse brain extract with LGI3 antibodies detected multiple protein forms (75-, 60-, 35 and 25-kDa). Proteomic analysis, pull-down and coimmunoprecipitation experiments identified syntaxin I as an LGI3-associated protein. LGI3 colocalized with syntaxin I in processes of cortical neurons with punctate synaptic pattern and was enriched in synaptosomal fraction. Coimmunoprecipitation showed that LGI3-syntaxin 1 complex did not contain other SNARE components, SNAP25 and VAMP2. Recombinant LGI3 attenuated Ca2+-evoked glutamate release from digitonin-permeabilized synaptosomes and transfection of PC12 cells with LGI3 decreased K+-induced secretion of human growth hormone. Thus, LGI3 may play a regulatory role in neuronal exocytosis via its interaction with syntaxin 1. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
