Here, we show that stochastic membrane deformations can nucleate exploratory dendritic filopodia, dynamic actin-rich structures used by neurons to sample its surroundings for compatible transcellular contacts. A theoretical analysis demonstrates that corecruitment of positive and negative curvature-sensitive proteins to deformed membranes minimizes the free energy of the system, allowing the formation of longlived curved membrane sections from stochastic membrane fluctuations. Quantitative experiments show that once recruited, curvature-sensitive proteins form a signaling circuit composed of interlinked positive and negative actin-regulatory feedback loops. As the positive but not the negative feedback loop can sense the dendrite diameter, this self-organizing circuit determines filopodia initiation frequency along tapering dendrites. Together, our findings identify a receptor-independent signaling circuit that employs random membrane deformations to simultaneously elicit and limit formation of exploratory filopodia to distal dendritic sites of developing neurons. |
