Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A neural cell contains one cell body, one axon (for output) and dendrites (for input). The structural and functional differences are constructed by axon-dendrite selective trafficking at the neural cell body. The axon-dendrite selective trafficking is quite important for neural function. However, the molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. I found that UNC-51 (an evolutionally conserved ser/thr kinase) and its binding partner UNC-14 (a RUN domain protein) were required for axon specific trafficking of UNC-33/CRMP2 that is important for neural polarity.
