The membrane trafficking and actin cytoskeleton remodeling mediated by ADP ribosylation factor 6 (Arf6) are functionally linked to various neuronal processes including neurite formation and maintenance, neurotransmitter release, and receptor internalization. EFA6A is an Arf6‐specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor that is abundantly expressed in the brain. In this study, we identified sorting nexin‐1 (SNX1), a retromer component that is implicated in endosomal sorting and trafficking, as a novel interacting partner for EFA6A by yeast two‐hybrid screening. The interaction was mediated by the C‐terminal region of EFA6A and a BAR domain of SNX1, and further confirmed by pull‐down assay and immunoprecipitation from mouse brain lysates.In situhybridization analysis demonstrated the widespread expression of SNX1 in the mouse brain, which overlapped with the expression of EFA6A in the forebrain. Immunofluorescent analysis revealed the partial colocalization of EFA6A and SNX1 in the dendritic fields of the hippocampus. Immunoelectron microscopic analysis revealed the overlapping subcellular localization of EFA6A and SNX1 at the post‐synaptic density and endosomes in dendritic spines. In Neuro‐2a neuroblastoma cells, expression of either EFA6A or SNX1 induced neurite outgrowth, which was further enhanced by co‐expression of EFA6A and SNX1. The present findings suggest a novel mechanism by which EFA6A regulates Arf6‐mediated neurite formation through the interaction with SNX1.We identified sorting nexin‐1 (SNX1) as a novel binding partner for EFA6A, and demonstrated overlapping ultrastructural localization of EFA6A and SNX1 in spines and dendrites of hippocampal neurons. Furthermore, we showed that this interaction enhanced neurite outgrowth of Neuro‐2a cells. The present findings suggest the importance of the interaction between EFA6A and SNX1 in Arf6‐mediated neuronal functions in dendritic spines.
