Background InformationCortactin contributes to growth cone morphogenesis by forming with dynamin, ring‐shaped complexes that mechanically bundle and stabilise F‐actin. However, the regulatory mechanism of cortactin action is poorly understood.ResultsImmunofluorescence microscopy revealed that protein kinase C (PKC) α colocalises with cortactin at growth cone filopodia in SH‐SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. PKC activation by phorbol 12‐myristate 13‐acetate causes cortactin phosphorylation, filopodial retraction and F‐actin‐bundle loss. Moreover, PKCα directly phosphorylates cortactinin vitroat S135/T145/S172, mitigating both cortactin's actin‐binding and actin‐crosslinking activity, whereas cellular expression of a phosphorylation‐mimetic cortactin mutant hinders filopodial formation with a significant decrease of actin bundles.ConclusionsOur results indicate that PKC‐mediated cortactin phosphorylation might be implicated in the maintenance of growth cone.
