Abstract

Dendritic spines are small, actin-rich protrusions on the surface of dendrites that receive the majority of excitatory synaptic inputs in the brain. The formation and remodeling of spines, processes that underlie synaptic development and plasticity, are regulated in part by Eph receptor tyrosine kinases. However, the mechanism by which Ephs regulate actin cytoskeletal remodeling necessary for spine development is not fully understood. Here, we report that the Rac1 guanine nucleotide exchange factor Tiam1 interacts with the EphB2 receptor in a kinase-dependent manner. Activation of EphBs by their ephrinB ligands induces the tyrosine phosphorylation and recruitment of Tiam1 to EphB complexes containing NMDA-type glutamate receptors. Either knockdown of Tiam1 protein by RNAi or inhibition of Tiam1 function with a dominant-negative Tiam1 mutant blocks dendritic spine formation induced by ephrinB1 stimulation. Taken together, these findings suggest that EphBs regulate spine development in part by recruiting, phosphorylating, and activating Tiam1. Tiam1 can then promote Rac1-dependent actin cytoskeletal remodeling required for dendritic spine morphogenesis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
