GAP-43 amino terminal peptides modulate growth cone morphology and neurite outgrowth.
The neuronal growth-associated protein GAP-43 is expressed maximally during development and regeneration, and is enriched at the cytosolic surface of the growth cone membrane. GAP-43 can activate the GTP-binding protein G(o) which is also a major component of the growth cone membrane. These findings have led to the hypothesis that GAP-43 might modulate neurite outgrowth by altering G-protein ac...
متن کاملGrowth cone transduction: Go and GAP-43.
The neuronal growth cone plays a crucial role in forming the complex brain architecture achieved during development, and similar nerve terminal mechanisms may operate to modify synaptic structure during adulthood. The growth cone leads the elongating axon towards appropriate synaptic targets by altering motility in response to a variety of extracellular signals. Independently of extrinsic clues...
متن کاملNeurite Outgrowth Stimulated by Neural Cell Adhesion Molecules Requires Growth-Associated Protein-43 (GAP-43) Function and Is Associated with GAP-43 Phosphorylation in Growth
Neurite outgrowth is a process that is essential for repair of the nervous system. Theidentification of molecules that are involved in neurite outgrowth and potential therapeuticsrequires the development of high-content imaging screens (HCSs). In this study, we haveused the mouse neuroblastoma cell line N1E115 as our model system to investigate neuriteoutgrowth. In order to ...
متن کاملNeurite outgrowth stimulated by neural cell adhesion molecules requires growth-associated protein-43 (GAP-43) function and is associated with GAP-43 phosphorylation in growth cones.
The mechanisms whereby cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) promote axonal growth and synaptic plasticity are poorly understood. Here we show that the neurite outgrowth stimulated by NCAM-mediated fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor activation in cerebellar granule cells is associated with increased GAP-43 phosphorylation on serine-41. In contrast, neither NCAM nor FGF was able to stimulate neuri...
متن کاملCapzb2 Interacts with β-Tubulin to Regulate Growth Cone Morphology and Neurite Outgrowth
Capping protein (CP) is a heterodimer that regulates actin assembly by binding to the barbed end of F-actin. In cultured nonneuronal cells, each CP subunit plays a critical role in the organization and dynamics of lamellipodia and filopodia. Mutations in either alpha or beta CP subunit result in retinal degeneration in Drosophila. However, the function of CP subunits in mammalian neurons remain...
