Glial-guided neuronal migration is a key step in the development of laminar architecture of cortical regions of the mammalian brain. We previously reported that neuronal protein astrotactin (ASTN1) functions as a neuron-glial ligand during CNS glial-guided migration. Here, we identify a new Astn family member, Astn2, that is expressed at high levels in migrating, cerebellar granule neurons, along with Astn1, at developmental stages when glial-guided migration is ongoing. Biochemical and flow cytometry experiments show that ASTN2 forms a complex with ASTN1 and regulates surface expression of ASTN1. Live imaging of Venus-tagged ASTN1 in migrating cerebellar granule cells reveals the intracellular trafficking of ASTN1-Venus, with ASTN1-Venus accumulating in the forward aspect of the leading process where new sites of adhesion will form. Treatment of migrating neurons with Dynasore, a soluble noncompetitive inhibitor of Dynamin, rapidly arrests the migration of immature granule cells in a reversible manner, suggesting the critical importance of receptor trafficking to neuronal locomotion along Bergmann glial fibers in the developing cerebellum. Together, these findings suggest that ASTN2 regulates the levels ofASTN1in the plasma membrane and that the release of neuronal adhesions to the glial fiber during neuronal locomotion involves the intracellular trafficking of ASTN1.
