Abstract Critical functions of intra-axonally synthesized proteins are thought to depend on regulated recruitment mRNA from storage depots in axons. Here we show that axotomy mammalian neurons induces translation stored axonal mRNAs via regulation the stress granule protein G3BP1, support regeneration peripheral nerves. G3BP1 aggregates within nerve axons granule-like structures decrease during regeneration, with a commensurate increase phosphorylated G3BP1. Colocalization is also correlated...
