Also known as KIAA0768LEC3
Summary
ADGRL3 (adhesion G protein-coupled receptor L3, HGNC:20974) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 4q13.1, encoding Adhesion G protein-coupled receptor L3 (Q9HAR2). Orphan adhesion G-protein coupled receptor (aGPCR), which mediates synapse specificity.
This gene encodes a member of the latrophilin subfamily of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR). Latrophilins may function in both cell adhesion and signal transduction. In experiments with non-human species, endogenous proteolytic cleavage within a cysteine-rich GPS (G-protein-coupled-receptor proteolysis site) domain resulted in two subunits (a large extracellular N-terminal cell adhesion subunit and a subunit with substantial similarity to the secretin/calcitonin family of GPCRs) being non-covalently bound at the cell membrane.

Function. Orphan adhesion G-protein coupled receptor (aGPCR), which mediates synapse specificity. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of downstream effectors. ADGRL3 is coupled with different classes of G alpha proteins, such as G(12)/G(13), G(s), G(i) or G(q), depending on the context. Coupling to G(12)/G(13) G proteins, which mediates the activation Rho small GTPases is the most efficient. Following G-protein coupled receptor activation, associates with cell adhesion molecules that are expressed at the surface of adjacent cells to direct synapse specificity. Specifically mediates the establishment of Schaffer-collateral synapses formed by CA3-region axons on CA1-region pyramidal neurons in the hippocampus. Localizes to postsynaptic spines in excitatory synapses in the S.oriens and S.radiatum and interacts with presynaptic cell adhesion molecules FLRT3 and TENM2, promoting synapse formation. Plays a role in the development of glutamatergic synapses in the cortex. Important in determining the connectivity rates between the principal neurons in the cortex. Orphan adhesion G-protein coupled receptor (aGPCR), which mediates synapse specificity. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of downstream effectors, such as adenylate cyclase. Isoform 1 is specifically coupled to G(s) G proteins and mediates activation of adenylate cyclase activity. Following G-protein coupled receptor activation, undergoes liquid-liquid phase transition, associates with (1) cell adhesion molecules that are expressed at the surface of adjacent cells, as well as (2) PDZ-containing proteins, such as SHANK3 and DLG4, in the cytoplasm to direct synapse formation.
Subunit / interactions. Heterodimer of 2 chains generated by proteolytic processing; the large extracellular N-terminal fragment and the membrane-bound C-terminal fragment predominantly remain associated and non-covalently linked. Interacts (via olfactomedin-like domain) with FLRT1 (via extracellular domain). Interacts (via olfactomedin-like domain) with FLRT2 (via extracellular domain). Interacts (via olfactomedin-like domain) with FLRT3 (via extracellular domain); the interaction is direct. Interacts (via extracellular domain) with TENM1. Interacts (via extracellular domain) with TENM2. Interacts (via extracellular domain) with TENM3. Identified in a complex with FLRT3 and UNC5B; does not interact with UNC5B by itself. Identified in a complex with FLRT3 and UNC5D; does not interact with UNC5D by itself. Interacts (via PDZ-binding motif) with SHANK3. Interacts (via PDZ-binding motif) with DLG4.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Postsynaptic cell membrane. Cell projection. Axon. Cell junction.
Post-translational modifications. Autoproteolytically processed at the GPS region of the GAIN-B domain; this cleavage modulates receptor activity.
Activity regulation. Forms a heterodimer of 2 chains generated by proteolytic processing that remain associated through non-covalent interactions mediated by the GAIN-B domain. In the inactivated receptor, the Stachel sequence (also named stalk) is embedded in the GAIN-B domain, where it adopts a beta-strand conformation. On activation, the Stachel moves into the 7 transmembrane region and adopts a twisted hook-shaped configuration that forms contacts within the receptor, leading to coupling of a G-alpha protein, which activates signaling. The cleaved GAIN-B and N-terminal domains can then dissociate from the rest of the receptor.
Domain organisation. The Stachel sequence (also named stalk) in the C-terminal part of the extracellular domain (ECD) functions as a tethered agonist. In the inactivated receptor, the Stachel sequence (also named stalk) is embedded in the GAIN-B domain, where it adopts a beta-strand conformation. On activation, the Stachel moves into the 7 transmembrane region and adopts a twisted hook-shaped configuration that forms contacts within the receptor, leading to coupling of a G-alpha protein, which activates signaling. The Olfactomedin-like domain is required for the synapse-promoting function and the interaction with FLRT3. The Olfactomedin-like and the SUEL-type lectin domains are required for the interaction with TENM1.
Similarity. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 2 family. LN-TM7 subfamily.
