Tetratricopeptide repeat domain 5 (TTC5) mediates the co-translational degradation of tubulin transcripts in response to excess soluble tubulin, a.k.a. \u201ctubulin autoregulation\u201d, and TTC5 mutations are associated with cerebral atrophy, speech and motor impairment. Despite clinical relevance, the role of TTC5 and tubulin autoregulation in neurons has not been established. Using human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)-derived cortical-like neurons, we demonstrate that tubulin autoregulation is active in neurons and fully TTC5-dependent. Loss of TTC5 function suppresses microtubule polymerization and impairs axonal outgrowth and arborization, while enhancing cellular motility. These phenotypes recapitulate\n                  <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic>\n                  where TTC5 loss in mouse cerebral cortex projection neurons disrupts axon and dendrite arborization and drives aberrant hypermigration. Patient disease mutants phenocopy this motility dysregulation, directly linking TTC5 dysfunction to clinically relevant neurological deficits. Together, our findings establish tubulin autoregulation and its mediators as essential regulators of neuronal morphogenesis and connectivity and provides a mechanistic framework for understanding TTC5-associated neurodevelopmental disease.\n                <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.64898\/2026.06.23.733857","type":"posted-content","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,24]],"date-time":"2026-06-24T12:35:17Z","timestamp":1782304517000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Tubulin autoregulation mediator TTC5 regulates neuronal morphology and migration"],"prefix":"10.64898","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0051-8523","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stephanie L.","family":"Sarbanes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cell Biology and Biophysics Unit, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, Bethesda, MD 20892, U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9840-6006","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jakub","family":"Ziak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Solomon H.
