For more information about C. elegans, asymmetric cell division and axis formation in the embryo, refer to: http://www.wormbook.org/chapters/ www_asymcelldiv/asymcelldiv.html
Homologues of the C. elegans proteins are also regulators of cell polarity in other organisms, ranging from flies to vertebrates. In mammals, homologues of Par-3, Par-6 (Par-6 A–D), and atypical PKCs iand form a complex which localizes at tight junctions and contributes to apical–basal polarity.49 Beyond its roles in the determination of asymmetric division during development and in the organization of epithelial sheets, polarity also provides directionality to migrating cells, and determines the site of axon-outgrowth and the positioning of the hairs on the epithelial cells of Drosophila wings (planar polarity) (see also Figure 14.2, page 422).
Activation of atypical PKC by Cdc42
The atypical PKC proteins are attached to Par-6 through their PB1 domains, the complex maintaining them in an inactive state. Par-6 also contains a Cdc42 binding site composed of a partial-CRIB domain complemented by an adjacent PDZ domain50,51 (see Figure 19.7). The GTPase Cdc42, in its active GTP-bound state, relieves the inhibitory constraint, opening the way to phosphorylation and activation of atypical PKCs. Where exactly this takes place is determined by: (1) the site of activation of Cdc42 (extrinsic polarity cue), (2) the subcellular compartment in which it accumulates after activation, or (3) the subcellular localization of the PKC–Par-6 complex (intrinsic polarity cues).
Spatial restriction of inositol lipids may also play a role in subcellular localization of polarity complexes. Polarizing or polarized cells exhibit segregation of PI(3,4,5)P3 and PI(4,5)P2. In particular, epithelial cells concentrate PI(4,5)P2 at the apical surface and this is sufficient to recruit both the PKC–Par-6 complex as well as Cdc42.52 Moreover, once recruited at the apical membrane, atypical PKC interacts with Par-3, which itself is attached to the adhesion molecule JAM-1. This cascade of interactions puts PKC–Par-6 at the site of the engaging cells, leading to the organization of the tight junction (see page 382).53 Cdc42 also has a key role in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, a process not necessarily linked with activation of atypical PKC, and this too affects cell polarity.54
Polarity in migrating astrocytes
Astrocytes are the major source of glial cells in the brain. They operate in the differentiation and functioning of neurons, not only as supporting structures but also in the regulation of synaptic transmission and thus the organization of neuronal circuitry. When a scratch is made in a near-confluent culture of
astrocytes, the surrounding cells present new tips that grow into the empty space.
At the site of the scratch, the astrocytes accumulate Scrib and PIX57 that cause the activation of Cdc42. From here two parallel polarizing processes
Although his body was cremated, Albert Einstein’s brain was
preserved for pathologists and posterity. A recent report indicates that his cerebral cortex contained a considerable excess
of astrocytic tissue (in comparison with four others).55 Of course, this news was promptly reported in the Sunday
papers56 but the authors of the original report wisely claimed no particular significance for their observation in terms of the great man’s cognitive ability.

Fig 19.6 PKC and migration of astrocytes.
(a) A scratch in a near-confluent culture of astrocytes provokes reorientation and migration of the adjacent cells to fill the gap. This is guided by the accumulation of the scaffold protein Scrib, bound to PIX (RhoGEF). Ensuing activation of the Par-6 polarity complex causes protrusion formation, involving the GTPase Rac1, and reorientation of the microtubule cytoskeleton. In order to achieve this, atypical PKC phosphorylates and inactivates GSK3 , causing clustering of APC at the microtubule plus ends. It also phosphorylates and activates Dlg, which is now recruited to the membrane. Binding of Dlg and APC assures anchorage of the microtubules to the protruding membrane to provide directionality to the migration process. (b) Immunocytochemical staining
of the Golgi apparatus (green), the centrosome (red) and the nucleus (blue) reveals the orientation of the astrocytes perpendicular to the scratch line.
(c) Immunocytochemical staining of APC (red and indicated by an asterisk) at the plus end of the microtubules (green). Locations of the centromeres are indicated by blue crosses and the nuclei are red.

are set in train. First, Cdc42 orchestrates the formation of a membrane protrusion through activation of Rac1 which organizes the actin fibres into a gel-like network. The recruitment and activation of Rac1 again requires PIX.58 Secondly, Cdc42 reorients the centrosome-attached microtubule network perpendicular to the direction of the scratch, so that the Golgi apparatus is directed perpendicularly to the newly formed microtubule axis. Here, atypical PKC phosphorylates and inhibits GSK3 so allowing dephosphorylation of APC (adenomatous polyposis coli protein, see page 424). This now binds to the plus-ends of centromere-attached microtubules59 (Figure 19.6).
The second substrate of PKC is Dlg-1 which on phosphorylation localizes to the plasma membrane. Interaction between Dlg1 and APC, in addition to the action of tubulin-bound motor proteins such as dynein, enable the microtubules to reorient the centromere. Cdc42-mediated activation of
atypical PKC thus provides both the means to migrate (protrusion formation) and the necessary directionally for the migrating cell (reorientation of centrosome-attached microtubules).60 The domain architecture of the components involved in astrocyte migration are shown in Figure 19.7.

Regulation of atypical PKC by Dishevelled and its role in axon outgrowth
Neurons transmit their signal via axons. These are typically long, thin processes of uniform width. Each cell produces a single axon, although near to its end the axon may branch to form one or more presynaptic terminals. Neurons receive inputs via other processes called dendrites which also extend from the cell body. They are relatively short, but close to the cell body they are thick and with increasing distance they become thinner, forming numerous Y-shaped branches. (Figure 19.8). These two cellular structures, with the synaptic contacts they make with other cells, are the basic means by which nerve cells receive, process, and transmit signals. Axon formation has been extensively studied in cultured hippocampal neurons. These cells initially form multiple projections called neurites which extend and retract, until, at a moment,

(b)Loss of expression of Dvl, by siRNA knockdown, leads to loss of polarity and numerous short axons are produced.
(c)Injection of PKCinto Dvl-depleted neurons restores polarity with the formation of a single long axon. Adapted from Arimura and Kaibuchi.61
just one of them stretches a little beyond the others to become the unique axon. Its formation then prevents the extension of other neurites, most likely through depletion of Cdc42. In consequence, the remaining neurites become dendrites.
The tip of the growing axon accumulates dishevelled (Dvl is the human orthologue of Drosophila Dsh), associated with Frizzled (Fz), a receptor for the family of Wnt ligands (see page 421). Both Dsh/Dvl and Fz were discovered in Drosophila mutants in which the epithelial cells had lost the polarized positioning of the wing hairs (see Figure 14.2, page 422). Dvl binds the aPKC– Par-6–Par-3 polarity complex and this leads to stabilization and activation.
Although Cdc42 also accumulates in the growing axon,62 its precise role in the activation of Dvl-associated PKC remains to be determined.
An important substrate of the atypical PKC is the serine/threonine kinase MARK2 (Figure 19.9) which, on phosphorylation is inactivated and detaches from the membrane.63 This removes an inhibitory constraint for a number of components that normally interact with microtubules. Among these are Tau and MAP1B. The other substrate is GSK3 which also becomes inactivated, so enabling the association of APC and CRMP2 with microtubules. These proteins stabilize microtubules and also facilitate their attachment to the plasma membrane. In so doing, they provide important support for the growing axon. The domain architecture of proteins involved in axon outgrowth is summarized in Figure 19.7.
The Rac1 guanine exchange protein Tiam1/STEF lies downstream of the aPKC–Par-6–Par-3 polarity complex. It therefore activates Rac1 which leads to cytoskeletal reorganization which also contributes to neuronal polarity.64

Fig 19.9 Dv1, PKC , Par-6, and polarity of axonal outgrowth.
(a) Hippocampal neurons form multiple neurites of which only one becomes an axon. (b) Axon outgrowth, stimulated by Wnt at the Fz receptor is initiated by the binding of a PKC –Par-3–Par-6 polarity complex to Dvl. Activated PKC phosphorylates and inactivates both MARK2 and GSK3 . Loss of kinase activity leads to a dephosphorylation of the microtubule binding proteins CRMP2, MAP1B, Tau, and APC. These now bind to microtubules, preventing depolymerization and allowing their interaction with the plasma membrane.
