Presenilin/γ-secretase-dependent EphA3 processing mediates axon elongation through non-muscle myosin IIA

EphA/ephrin signaling regulates axon growth and guidance of neurons, but whether this process occurs also independently of ephrins is unclear. We show that presenilin-1 (PS1)/γ-secretase is required for axon growth in the developing mouse brain. PS1/γ-secretase mediates axon growth by inhibiting Rho...
