p75NTR, a nerve growth factor co-receptor that has been implicated in apoptosis of neurons, is structurally related to Fas and the receptors for tumor necrosis factor-a that display ligand independent assembly into trimers. Using E17 fetal rat cortical neurons and p75NTR expressing NIH-3T3 cells, we now show that p75NTR exists as a trimer as well as a monomer. Furthermore, we have reported and others have confirmed that amyloid b binds p75NTR, and that this binding leads to apoptotic cell death. We now report that amyloid b binds to trimers of p75NTR as well as to p75NTR monomers but not to the p140trkA, the nerve growth factor co-receptor that mediates neuronal survival. Furthermore, amyloid b activates p75NTR, strongly inducing the transcription of c-jun mRNA and stimulating the stress-activated c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) as measured by phosphorylation of its substrate [GST-c-Jun (1-79)]. Our data suggest that p75NTR may be present as a preformed trimer that binds amyloid â to induce receptor activation, and support the hypothesis that p75NTR activation by amyloid â is causally related to Alzheimers disease.
