MAP6-CRMPS cooperative phosphorylation by GSK3β
🧪 Overview
MAP6 and CRMP2 may be simultaneously phosphorylated by GSK3β at shared or interacting sites, creating a coordinated phosphorylation code that regulates microtubule dynamics in response to guidance cues
Prediction: Simultaneous disruption of MAP6 and CRMP2 phosphorylation sites would produce more severe axon guidance defects than single knockouts, and neuronal activity-dependent phosphorylation events would show correlated changes in both proteins
