SummaryBuilding sensory dendritic arbors requires branching, growth, spacing, and substrate support. The conserved L1CAM family of cell-adhesion molecules generates neuronal isoforms to regulate neurite development in various aspects. However, whether non-neuronal isoforms participate in any of these aspects is unclear. In Drosophila, the L1CAM homolog neuroglian (cas 127496-12-2) (Nrg) is expressed as two isoforms: the neuronal isoform Nrg180 on dendritic surfaces of dendritic arborization (da) neurons and the non-neuronal isoform Nrg167 in epidermis innervated by dendrites. We found that epidermal Nrg167 encircles dendrites by interactions with dendritic Nrg180 to support dendrite growth, stabilization, and enclosure inside epidermis. Interestingly, whereas Nrg180 forms homophilic interactions to facilitate axonal bundling, heteroneuronal dendrites in the same innervating field avoid bundling through unknown mechanisms to maintain individual dendritic patterns. Here, we show that both epidermal Nrg167 depletion and neuronal Nrg180 overexpression can cause dendrite bundling, with genetic analyses suggesting that Nrg167-Nrg180 interactions antagonize Nrg180-Nrg180 homophilic interaction to prevent dendrite bundling. Furthermore, internalization of Nrg180 also participates in resolving dendrite bundling, as overexpression of endocytosis-defective Nrg180 and compromising endocytosis in neurons both exacerbated dendrite-bundling defects. Together, our study highlights the functional significance of substrate-derived Nrg167 in conferring dendrite stability, positioning, and avoidance.
