Abstract

Live imaging in vivo is used to study the role of the actin polymerase Ena in axon growth. We find that Ena strongly regulates filopodial morphology despite having only modest effects on actin distribution. We suggest that the main role of Ena is keeping growth cone morphology stable in the face of the varying actin distribution that drives axon growth.
