Axon guidance: proteins turnover in turning growth cones.
Accurate navigation by a neuronal growth cone requires the modulation of the growth cone's responsiveness to spatial and temporal changes in expression of guidance cues. These adaptations involve local protein synthesis and turnover in growth cones and distal axons.
