Coro1A and TRIM67 collaborate in netrin-dependent neuronal morphogenesis.

ABSTRACT: Neuronal morphogenesis depends on extracellular guidance cues accurately instructing intracellular cytoskeletal remodeling. Here, we describe a novel role of the actin binding protein coronin 1A (Coro1A) in neuronal morphogenesis, where it mediates responses to the axon guidance cue netrin-1. We found that Coro1A localizes to growth cones and filopodial structures and is required for netrin-dependent axon turning, branching, and corpus callosum development. We previously discovered that Coro1A interacts with TRIM67, a brain-enriched E3 ubiquitin ligase that binds the netrin receptor DCC, and is also required for netrin-mediated neuronal morphogenesis. Loss of Coro1A and loss of TRIM67 shared similar phenotypes, suggesting that they may function together in the same netrin pathway. A Coro1A
