The core components of the planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling system, including both transmembrane and peripheral membrane associated proteins, form asymmetric complexes that bridge apical intercellular junctions. While these can assemble in either orientation, coordinated cell polarization requires the enrichment of complexes of a given orientation at specific junctions. This might occur by both positive and negative feedback between oppositely oriented complexes, and requires the peripheral membrane associated PCP components. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying feedback are not understood. We find that the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex Cullin1(Cul1)/SkpA/Supernumerary limbs(Slimb) regulates the stability of one of the peripheral membrane components, Prickle (Pk). Excess Pk disrupts PCP feedback and prevents asymmetry. We show that Pk participates in negative feedback by mediating internalization of PCP complexes containing the transmembrane components Van Gogh (Vang) and Flamingo (Fmi), and that internalization is activated by oppositely oriented complexes within clusters. Pk also participates in positive feedback through an unknown mechanism promoting clustering. Our results therefore identify a molecular mechanism underlying generation of asymmetry in PCP signaling. Many epithelial cells display a level of organization in which cellular structures or appendages are positioned asymmetrically within the cell along an axis perpendicular to the apical-basal axis of the cell. When the direction of this polarization is coordinated within the plane of the epithelium, this phenomenon is referred to as planar cell polarity (PCP). PCP is organized, at least in part, by a group of molecules that interact across cell-cell junctions and segregate into two groups that localize on opposite sides of each cell. Their asymmetric localization is thought to both produce molecular asymmetry, and to mark polarized domains within the cell for subsequent morphological polarization. In segregating to produce molecular asymmetry, these proteins participate in both positive and negative feedback, much like ferromagnets, to align their localization within and between neighboring cells. In this work, we identify a mechanism for negative feedback that utilizes the protein Prickle, one of the PCP signaling components. Levels of Prickle are precisely regulated, in part by a ubiquitinylation mechanism that targets excess protein for degradation. Prickle mediates internalization and removal of one class of PCP proteins, thereby causing repulsion of opposite ‘poles.’ Excess Prickle disrupts this mechanism and interferes with establishing polarity.
