Beschreibung: | Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors are unique molecules. They are able to transmit classical signals via G protein activation as well as mediate functions solely through their extracellular N termini, completely independently of the seven transmembrane helices domain and the C terminus. This dual mode of action is highly unusual for G protein-coupled receptors and allows for a plethora of possible cellular consequences. However, the physiological implications and molecular details of this N terminus-mediated signaling are poorly understood. Here, we show that several distinct seven transmembrane helices domain-independent/trans functions of the adhesion G protein-coupled receptor latrophilin homolog latrophilin-1 in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans together regulate reproduction: sperm guidance, ovulation, and germ cell apoptosis. In these contexts, the receptor elicits its functions in a noncell autonomous manner. The functions might be realized through alternative splicing of the receptor specifically generating N terminus-only variants. Thus, our findings shed light on the versatility of seven transmembrane helices domain-independent/N terminus-only/trans functions of adhesion G protein-coupled receptor and discuss possible molecular details. | |||||||
