A RhoA Signaling Pathway Regulates Dendritic Golgi Outpost Formation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The neuronal Golgi apparatus (GA) localizes to the perinuclear region and dendrites as tubulo-vesicular structures designated Golgi outposts (GOPs). Current evidence suggests that GOPs shape dendrite morphology and serve as platforms for the local delivery of synaptic receptors. However, the mechanisms underlying GOP formation remain a mystery. Using live-cell imaging and confocal microscopy in cultured hippocampal neurons, we now show that GOPs destined to major "apical" dendrites are generated from the somatic GA by a sequence of events involving: (1) generation of a GA-derived tubule; (2) tubule elongation and deployment into the dendrite; (3) tubule fission; and (4) transport and condensation of the fissioned tubule. A RhoA-Rock signaling pathway involving LIMK1, PKD1, slingshot, cofilin, and dynamin regulates polarized GOP formation by controlling the tubule fission. Our observations identify a mechanism underlying polarized GOP biogenesis and provide new insights regarding involvement of RhoA in dendritic development and polarization.

PLD1 Negatively Regulates Dendritic Branching.
Neurons have characteristic dendritic arborization patterns that contribute to information processing. One essential component of dendritic arborization is the formation of a specific number of branches. Although intracellular pathways promoting dendritic growth and branching are being elucidated, the mechanisms that negatively regulate the branching of dendrites remain enigmatic. In this study...
متن کاملReelin and Stk25 Have Opposing Roles in Neuronal Polarization and Dendritic Golgi Deployment
The Reelin ligand regulates a Dab1-dependent signaling pathway required for brain lamination and normal dendritogenesis, but the specific mechanisms underlying these actions remain unclear. We find that Stk25, a modifier of Reelin-Dab1 signaling, regulates Golgi morphology and neuronal polarization as part of an LKB1-Stk25-Golgi matrix protein 130 (GM130) signaling pathway. Overexpression of St...

Dvl2-Dependent Activation of Daam1 and RhoA Regulates Wnt5a-Induced Breast Cancer Cell Migration
BACKGROUND The Dishevelled (Dvl) and Dishevelled-associated activator of morphogenesis 1 (Daam1) pathway triggered by Wnt5a regulates cellular polarity during development and tissue homoeostasis. However, Wnt5a signaling in breast cancer progression remains poorly defined. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We showed here that Wnt5a activated Dvl2, Daam1 and RhoA, and promoted migration of breast...
متن کاملDynamin Autonomously Regulates Podocyte Focal Adhesion Maturation.
Rho family GTPases, the prototypical members of which are Cdc42, Rac1, and RhoA, are molecular switches best known for regulating the actin cytoskeleton. In addition to the canonical small GTPases, the large GTPase dynamin has been implicated in regulating the actin cytoskeleton via direct dynamin-actin interactions. The physiologic role of dynamin in regulating the actin cytoskeleton has been ...
