Outline of Final Research Achievements |
During embryonic development, axonal growth cones are guided along their correct routes toward distant targets by a variety of extracellular attractive and repulsive cues. We previously demonstrated that growth cone repulsion, but not attraction, is driven by asymmetric clathrin-mediated endocytosis across the growth cone. In the present study, we identify a 90 kDa splice variant of phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase type-1 gamma (PIPKIgamma90) as an endocytosis-adaptor protein that mediates growth cone repulsion.
