The microtubule-associated protein MAP1B plays a key role in axon regeneration. We investigated the role of GSK3-mediated MAP1B phosphorylation in local fine-tuning of neurite branching and the underlying microtubule (MT) dynamics. In wildtype adult dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons, MAP1B phosphorylation is locally reduced at branching points, and branching dynamics from growth cones and distal neurite shafts is increased upon GSK3 inhibition. While map1b−/− neurites, that display increased branching, are not affected by GSK3 inhibition, transfection of map1b−/− neurons with full-length map1b-cDNA restores the wildtype branching phenotype, demonstrating that MAP1B is a key effector downstream of GSK3. Experiments in mutant mice lacking tyrosinated MTs indicate a preferential association of phospho-MAP1B with tyrosinated MTs. Interestingly, inhibition of GSK3-mediated MAP1B phosphorylation in map1b-cDNA-transfected fibroblasts protects both tyrosinated and acetylated MTs from nocodazole-induced depolymerization, while detyrosinated MTs are less abundant in the presence of MAP1B. Our data thus provide new insight into the molecular link between GSK3, MAP1B, neurite branching and MT stability regulation. We suggest that, at branching points, MAP1B undergoes a fine regulation of both its phosphorylation and sub-cellular amounts, in order to modulate the local balance between acetylated, detyrosinated, and tyrosinated microtubule pools. •MAP1B function in regenerating DRG neurons is regulated by phosphorylation.•GSK3–MAP1B pathway regulates neurite branching in regenerating adult DRG neurons.•MAP1B confers increased stability to tyrosinated and acetylated, but not detyrosinated MT pools.•Phospho-MAP1B is preferentially associated with tyrosinated MTs.•GSK3 downregulates MAP1B induced stabilization of acetylated and tyrosinated MTs.
