Blocking CRMP2 SUMOylation reverses neuropathic pain [PDF]
Collapsin response mediator proteins 1−5 (CRMPs1−5) are a family of cytosolic proteins that coordinate neuronal migration, axonal guidance, dendritic organization, dendritic spine development and synaptic plasticity (reviewed in Khanna et al.1and Quach et al.2).

Neuronal deletion of GSK3beta increases microtubule speed in the growth cone and enhances axon regeneration via CRMP-2 and independently of MAP1B and CLASP2 [PDF]
BACKGROUND: In the adult central nervous system, axonal regeneration is abortive. Regulators of microtubule dynamics have emerged as attractive targets to promote axonal growth following injury as microtubule organization is pivotal for growth cone ...

Involvement of CRMP2 in Regulation of Mitochondrial Morphology and Motility in Huntington’s Disease
Mitochondrial morphology and motility (mitochondrial dynamics) play a major role in the proper functioning of distant synapses. In Huntington’s disease (HD), mitochondria become fragmented and less motile, but the mechanisms leading to these changes are ...

Phosphorylated CRMP2 Regulates Spinal Nociceptive Neurotransmission [PDF]
The collapsin response mediator protein 2 (CRMP2) has emerged as a central node in assembling nociceptive signaling complexes involving voltage-gated ion channels. Concerted actions of post-translational modifications, phosphorylation and SUMOylation, of CRMP2 contribute to regulation of pathological pain states.

CRMP2 Phosphorylation Drives Glioblastoma Cell Proliferation [PDF]
Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive primary brain tumor. The rapid growth and the privileged provenance of the tumor within the brain contribute to its aggressivity and poor therapeutic targeting. A poor prognostic factor in glioblastoma is the deletion or mutation of the Nf1 gene.

CRMP2 Protein SUMOylation Modulates NaV1.7 Channel Trafficking [PDF]
Voltage-gated sodium channel (NaV) trafficking is incompletely understood. Post-translational modifications of NaVs and/or auxiliary subunits and protein-protein interactions have been posited as NaV-trafficking mechanisms. Here, we tested if modification of the axonal collapsin response mediator protein 2 (CRMP2) by a small ubiquitin-like modifier ...

Hierarchical CRMP2 posttranslational modifications control NaV1.7 function [PDF]
SignificanceThe voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.7 is important for electrogenesis in sensory neurons. Insertion within the membrane is required for function of NaV1.7. However, the mechanisms determining how NaV1.7 is trafficked to neuronal cell membranes are poorly understood. Here, we elucidate a signaling program involving a complex and intriguing

Relative Resistance of Cdk5-phosphorylated CRMP2 to Dephosphorylation [PDF]
Collapsin response mediator protein 2 (CRMP2) binds to microtubules and regulates axon outgrowth in neurons. This action is regulated by sequential phosphorylation by the kinases cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) and glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) at sites that are hyperphosphorylated in Alzheimer disease.

Protein Phosphatase 2A Facilitates Axonogenesis by Dephosphorylating CRMP2 [PDF]
Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is indispensable in development, and deficits of PP2A and deterioration of neuronal axons have been observed in several neurodegenerative disorders, but the direct link between PP2A and the neuronal axon development is still missing. Here, we show that PP2A is essential for axon development in transfected rat brain and the
