摘要
The establishment of axon-dendrite identity in developing neurites is essential for the development of a functional nervous system. The SAD serine-threonine kinases have been implicated in regulating neuronal polarization and synapse formation. Here, we show that the C. elegans SAD-1 kinase regulates axonal identity and synapse formation through distinct mechanisms. We identified a scaffolding protein, Neurabin (NAB-1), as a physiological binding partner of SAD-1. Both sad-1 and nab-1 loss-of-function mutants display polarity defects in which synaptic vesicles accumulate in both axons and dendrites. We show that sad-1 and nab-1 function in the same genetic pathway to restrict axonal fate. Unlike sad-1, nab-1 mutants display normal morphology of vesicle clusters. Strikingly, although the physical interaction of NAB-1 with SAD-1 is necessary for polarity, it is dispensable for synapse morphology. We propose that Neurabin functions as a scaffold to facilitate SAD-1-mediated phosphorylation for substrates specific for restricting axonal fate during neuronal polarization.
