Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) binds to and activates the TrkB tyrosine kinase receptor to regulate cell differentiation, survival, and neural plasticity in the nervous system. However, the identities of the downstream signaling proteins involved in this process remain unclear. Using a yeast two-hybrid screen with the intracellular domain (ICD-TrkB) of the TrkB BDNF receptor, we identified the Nck2 adaptor protein as a novel interaction partner of the active form of TrkB. Additionally, we identified three tyrosines in ICD-TrkB (Y694, Y695, and Y771) that are crucial for this interaction. Similar results were obtained for Nck1, an Nck2 homolog. We also found that TrkB could be co-precipitated with GST-Nck2 recombinant protein or anti-Nck antibody in BDNF-activated cortical neurons. These results suggest that BDNF stimulation promotes interaction of Ncks with TrkB in cortical neurons.
