Regulation of directed axon guidance and branching during development is essential for the generation of neuronal networks. However, the molecular mechanisms that underlie interstitial axon branching in the mammalian brain remain unresolved. Here, we investigate interstitial axon branching in vivo using an approach for precise labeling of layer 2/3 callosal projection neurons (CPNs), allowing for quantitative analysis of axonal morphology at high acuity and also manipulation of gene expression in well-defined temporal windows. We find that the GSK3{beta} serine/threonine kinase promotes interstitial axon branching in layer 2/3 CPNs by releasing MAP1B-mediated inhibition of axon branching. Further, we find that the tubulin tyrosination cycle is a key downstream component of GSK3{beta}/MAP1B signaling. We propose that MAP1B functions as a brake on axon branching that can be released by GSK3{beta} activation, regulating the tubulin code and thereby playing an integral role in sculpting cortical neuron axon morphology. HIGHLIGHTS- GSK3{beta} activation induces excessive interstitial axon branching in excitatory cortical neurons - MAP1B, acting as a brake, is a downstream effector of GSK3{beta}-mediated axon branching - MAP1B inhibition of axon branching is released by GSK3{beta} phosphorylation - GSK3{beta}/MAP1B regulation of interstitial axon branching is through modification of the tubulin code

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
