Proper axonal and dendritic bundling is essential for the establishment of neuronal connections and the synchronization of synaptic inputs, respectively. Cell adhesion molecules of the L1-CAM family regulate axon guidance and fasciculation, neuron migration, dendrite morphology, and synaptic plasticity. How these molecules play so many different roles remains unclear. Here we show that polarized axon-dendrite targeting of an avian L1-CAM protein, NgCAM, can regulate the switch of bundling of the two major compartments of neurons. Using a new in vitro model for studying neurite-neurite interactions, we found that expressed axonal NgCAM induced robust axonal bundling via the trans-homophilic interaction of immunoglobulin (Ig) domains. Interestingly, dendritic bundling was induced by the dendritic targeting of NgCAM, caused by either deleting its fibronectin (FN) repeats or blocking activities of protein kinases. Consistent with the NgCAM results, expression of mouse L1CAM also induced axonal bundling and blocking kinase activities disrupted its axonal targeting. Furthermore, the trans-homophilic interaction stabilized the bundle formation, likely through recruiting NgCAM proteins to contact sites and promoting guided axon outgrowth. Taken together, our results suggest that precise localization of L1-CAM is important for establishing proper cell-cell contacts in neural circuits.
