Carving Axon Arbors to Fit: Master Directs One Kinase at a Time
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pyramidal neurons in the cortex require the master kinase LKB1 for early axon specification. Courchet et al. now uncover a later role for LKB1 and its tango with the downstream effector kinase NUAK1 in controlling terminal axonal branching through influencing mitochondrial motility in axons.

Postsynaptic calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II is required to limit elaboration of presynaptic and postsynaptic neuronal arbors.
Neuronal dendritic and axonal arbors grow to a characteristic size and then stabilize their structures. Activity-dependent stop-growing signals may limit neuronal process elaboration. We tested whether endogenous calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) activity in postsynaptic optic tectal cells is required to restrict the elaboration of neuronal processes in the Xenopus tadpole...
متن کاملRepulsive Interactions Shape the Morphologies and Functional Arrangement of Zebrafish Peripheral Sensory Arbors
BACKGROUND Trigeminal sensory neurons detect thermal and mechanical stimuli in the skin through their elaborately arborized peripheral axons. We investigated the developmental mechanisms that determine the size and shape of individual trigeminal arbors in zebrafish and analyzed how these interactions affect the functional organization of the peripheral sensory system. RESULTS Time-lapse imagi...
متن کاملDevelopment of individual axon arbors in a thalamocortical circuit necessary for song learning in zebra finches.
Individual axon arbors within developing neural circuits are remodeled during restricted sensitive periods, leading to the emergence of precise patterns of connectivity and specialized adaptive behaviors. In male zebra finches, the circuit connecting the medial dorsolateral nucleus of the thalamus (DLM) and its cortical target, the lateral magnocellular nucleus of the anterior neostriatum (lMAN...
متن کاملMorphology of retinogeniculate X and Y axon arbors in monocularly enucleated cats.
We examined the terminal arbors of single, physiologically identified retinogeniculate X and Y axons from the remaining retinas of adult cats raised from birth with monocular enucleation. These were compared with arbors of X and Y axons in normally reared cats. We used intra-axonal injections of horseradish peroxidase to label each axon after recording its response properties. While the axons i...
متن کاملSAD Kinases Sculpt Axonal Arbors of Sensory Neurons through Long- and Short-Term Responses to Neurotrophin Signals
Extrinsic cues activate intrinsic signaling mechanisms to pattern neuronal shape and connectivity. We showed previously that three cytoplasmic Ser/Thr kinases, LKB1, SAD-A, and SAD-B, control early axon-dendrite polarization in forebrain neurons. Here, we assess their role in other neuronal types. We found that all three kinases are dispensable for axon formation outside of the cortex but that ...
