Background

Capillary Morphogenesis Gene-2 (CMG-2), also known as ANTXR2, is a widely expressed anthrax toxin receptor (ATR) family protein (1‑3). Mature, full-length CMG‑2/ANTXR2 is a type I transmembrane protein containing a von Willebrand A (vWA) domain in the extracellular domain (ECD) (1-5). In addition to the full-length protein, 3 additional isoforms exist: Isoform 2 shows a 103 amino acid (aa) deletion in the ECD; isoform 3 is a truncated, 289 aa soluble form; and isoforms 4 shows a 12 aa insertion in the cytoplasmic region (6). The ECD of mature, full-length mouse CMG‑2/ANTXR2 shares 84% and 89% aa sequence identity with human and rat CMG‑2/ANTXR2, respectively. The vWA domain in the ECD of CMG‑2/ANTXR2 adheres selectively to collagen type IV and laminin (1‑5). CMG-2/ANTXR2 isoform 2 is induced in HUVEC as they undergo capillary formation in collagen matrices in vitro (3). CMG‑2/ANTXR2 is mutated in juvenile hyaline fibromatosis and infantile systemic hyalinosis disorders, and several of these mutations result in loss of laminin binding (7). CMG‑2/ANTXR2 and the related protein ATR/TEM8 serve as receptors for the protective antigen (PA) of Bacillus Anthracis (1, 2). After binding the VWA domain, PA undergoes furin-type cleavage, forms a heptameric receptor/PA pre-pore and binds LF or EF toxin subunits (5, 8, 9). Transport to low pH endosomes, which requires CMG‑2/ANTXR2 ubiquitination and interaction with the LDL receptor related protein LRP6 (10, 11), allows PA pore formation and release of toxin to the cytoplasm (11, 12). Soluble CMG‑2/ANTXR2 VWA domain acts as a dummy receptor that can protect cultured cells from anthrax intoxication (2). CMG‑2/ANTXR2 has been shown to interact with LRP6 and activate Wnt/ beta -catenin pathway in gastric cancer, which leads to maintenance of stem-like cells in GC (13).
