Actions of alpha-chimaerins in mechanisms relevant to dendritic spine formation and neurodegeneration
… been defined. The neuronal proteins a1- and a2-chimaerins belong to a group of Rac and Cdc42 GAPs that inactivate these GTPases; in addition to a GAP domain, the a-chimaerins share a phosphokinase C (PKC)-like C1 domain but have distinct N-terminal domains (NTDs). My project has explored the …

Control of Neuronal Circuit Assembly by Gtpase Regulators
… During my dissertation I identified the GAP α2-chimaerin as an essential downstream effector of the axon guidance receptor EphA4, in the assembly of neuronal locomotor circuits in the mouse. Furthermore, I identified two novel neuronal GAPs, mSYD-1A and mSYD-1B, which interact with components of …
