A receptor complex consisting of a Neuropilin and a Plexin-A mediates their effects. Plexin-A signal transduction has remained poorly defined despite the documented involvement of collapsin response mediator protein and molecule interacting with CasL proteins (MICALs) as mediators of Plexin-A activation. Here, we defined a domain of Plexin-A1 required for Sema3A signaling in a reconstituted environment and then searched for proteins interacting with this domain. RanBPM is shown to physically interact with Plexin-A1, and the RanBPM/Plexin complex is regulated by MICAL expression. Overexpression of RanBPM cooperates with PlexinA1 to reduce non-neuronal cell spreading and strongly inhibit axonal outgrowth<jats:italic>in vitro</jats:italic>and<jats:italic>in vivo</jats:italic>. A truncated RanBPM protein blocks Sema3A responsiveness in non-neuronal and neuronal cells. Suppression of RanBPM expression reduces Sema3A responsiveness. Thus, RanBPM is a mediator of Sema3A signaling through Plexin-A. RanBPM has the potential to link Plexin-A receptors to retrograde transport and microtubule function in axonal guidance.</jats:p>","journal":"The Journal of Neuroscience","year":2006,"id":35999,"datarank":4.172482170917763,"base_score":4.31748811353631,"endowment":4.31748811353631,"self_citation_contribution":0.6476232170304466,"citation_network_contribution":3.5248589538873167,"self_endowment_contribution":0.6476232170304466,"citer_contribution":3.5248589538873167,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":74,"citer_count":73,"citers_with_citation_signal":70,"citers_with_endowment":70,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":null,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":false,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":null,"fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":183196,"name":"Eric F.
