Protein interacting with C-kinase 1/protein kinase Calpha-mediated endocytosis converts netrin-1-mediated repulsion to attraction. J Neurosci 26 (2006) 3192-3205. The authors provide evidence that kinase-dependent regulation of UNC5 recruitment to the plasma membrane switches between netrin-mediated attraction and repulsion. Notably, this study extends the pipette-based axon turning assay (Figure 1f), which had been used principally to study the response of non-mammalian cells, to growth cones of rodent hippocampal and cerebral granule cells.

This study identifies a role for nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-dependent signaling downstream of DCC that regulates netrin-1 induced angiogenesis. Notably, this is the first time NOS has been implicated in netrin signal transduction.

Deleted in colorectal cancer binding netrin-1 mediates cell substrate adhesion and recruits Cdc42, Rac1, Pak1, and N-WASP into an intracellular signaling complex that promotes growth cone expansion. J Neurosci 25 (2005) 3132-3141. Using cultured embryonic rat spinal commissural neurons, the authors demonstrate that substrate bound netrin-1 triggers growth cone membrane extension and that DCC mediates adhesion to a substrate of immobilized netrin-1. Additionally, the results identify a signal transduction complex recruited to the DCC intracellular domain that is required for the growth cone response to netrin-1.

In addition to the reports indicating that FAK and src kinases are involved in DCC mediated chemoattraction [30-33], this study provides evidence that FAK and Src kinases also play a role in signaling by UNC5 proteins, the receptors that mediate chemorepellent responses to netrin. When expressed with an UNC5 protein, DCC can also contribute to chemorepulsion. Interestingly, this study provides evidence that DCC is not required for, but facilitates tyrosine phosphorylation of the intracellular domain of UNC5B.
