Abstract
Understanding biochemical and cellular mechanisms of how PCP components regulate axon guidance is important for understanding brain development and may lead to new therapeutic approaches for neural repair. Meanwhile, axonal growth cones are a highly polarized structure and are a great experimental system. Therefore, some of these novel mechanisms we are uncovering for axon guidance may be applicable for PCP signaling in general. In this chapter, we introduce some of the techniques we used or developed: (1) protein localization and trafficking; (2) protein phosphorylation; and (3) protein-protein interactions in the same cell and across the two neighboring cells.
