Model of AMsh glial engulfment of AFD–NRE.

Model depicting molecular machinery driving engulfment of AFD neuron microvilli by AMsh glia. TAT-1 maintains phosphatidylserine on the inner plasma leaflet. Neuron activity negatively regulates engulfment. The phosphatidylserine receptor PSR-1 signals via ternary GEF complex CED-2/5/12 to activate Rac1 GTPase CED-10, along with PAT-2/integrin. CED-10 and its downstream effector, WSP-1, drive engulfment of AFD neuron microvilli fragments. NRE: neuron-receptive ending.
