During axon guidance, growth cones navigate toward attractive cues by inserting new membrane on the cue side. This process depends on Ca(2+) release from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+) channels, but the Ca(2+) sensor and effector governing this asymmetric vesicle export remain unknown. We identified a protein complex that controls asymmetric ER Ca(2+)-dependent membrane vesicle export. The Ca(2+)-dependent motor protein myosin Va (MyoVa) tethers membrane vesicles to the ER via a common binding site on the two major ER Ca(2+) channels, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and ryanodine receptors. In response to attractive cues, micromolar Ca(2+) from ER channels triggers MyoVa-channel dissociation and the movement of freed vesicles to the cue side, enabling growth cone turning. MyoVa-Ca(2+) channel interactions are required for proper long-range axon growth in developing spinal cord in vivo. These findings reveal a peri-ER membrane export pathway for Ca(2+)-dependent attraction in axon guidance.
