Identification and molecular characterization of Unc-33-like phosphoprotein (Ulip), a putative mammalian homolog of the axonal guidance-associated unc-33 gene product

The control of neuritic extension and guidance is critical for the
development, maturation, and regeneration of functional neuronal circuits.
We identified a neuronal 64-85 kDa phosphoprotein, the expression of which
in mouse brain is regulated during development, reaching a peak at
approximately 5 d postnatal, when maturation of neurons and synaptic
connections is highly active. The amino acid sequence of the mouse protein
deduced from its cloned cDNA reveals similarities with that of the neuritic
outgrowth- and guidance-related product of the unc-33 gene in
Caenorhabditis elegans. The regulation of its phosphorylation in response
to nerve growth factor, as well as its localization in neurites and growth
cones and at the neuromuscular junction, further indicates that Ulip (for
Unc-33-like phosphoprotein) is not only a structural but likely is also a
functional mammalian homolog of Unc-33, potentially involved in the control
of neuritic outgrowth and axonal guidance.
