Cytoplasmic linker proteins regulate neuronal polarization through microtubule and growth cone dynamics.
Axon formation is a hallmark of initial neuronal polarization. This process is thought to be regulated by enhanced microtubule stability in the subsequent axon and changes in actin dynamics in the future axonal growth cone. Here, we show that the microtubule end-binding proteins cytoplasmic linker protein (CLIP)-115 and CLIP-170 were enriched in the axonal growth cone and extended into the acti...
متن کاملSpatial and temporal sensing limits of microtubule polarization in neuronal growth cones by intracellular gradients and forces.
Neuronal growth cones are the most sensitive among eukaryotic cells in responding to directional chemical cues. Although a dynamic microtubule cytoskeleton has been shown to be essential for growth-cone turning, the precise nature of coupling of the spatial cue with microtubule polarization is less understood. Here we present a computational model of microtubule polarization in a turning neuron...
متن کاملCollapsin response mediator protein 4 regulates growth cone dynamics through the actin and microtubule cytoskeleton.
Coordinated control of the growth cone cytoskeleton underlies axon extension and guidance. Members of the collapsin response mediator protein (CRMP) family of cytosolic phosphoproteins regulate the microtubule and actin cytoskeleton, but their roles in regulating growth cone dynamics remain largely unexplored. Here, we examine how CRMP4 regulates the growth cone cytoskeleton. Hippocampal neuron...
متن کاملCytoskeletal dynamics in growth-cone steering.
Interactions between dynamic microtubules and actin filaments are essential to a wide range of cell biological processes including cell division, motility and morphogenesis. In neuronal growth cones, interactions between microtubules and actin filaments in filopodia are necessary for growth cones to make a turn. Growth-cone turning is a fundamental behaviour during axon guidance, as correct nav...
متن کاملTouch and go: guidance cues signal to the growth cone cytoskeleton.
Growth cones, the highly motile tips of growing axons, guide axons to their targets by responding to molecular cues. Growth cone behaviors such as advancing, retracting, turning and branching are driven by the dynamics and reorganization of the actin and microtubule cytoskeleton through signaling pathways linked to guidance cue receptors. Actin filaments play a major part in growth cone motilit...
