Abstract excerpt
Local β-actin synthesis in growth cones of developing axons plays an important role in growth cone steering; however, the mRNA binding proteins required for this process are unknown. Here we used Zbp1/Imp1(-/)(-) mice to test the hypothesis that zipcode binding protein 1 (ZBP1) is required for the regulation of β-actin mRNA transport and local translation underlying growth cone guidance. To address the biological...
