DSCAM functions as a netrin receptor in commissural axon pathfinding.
Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule (DSCAM) is required for axon guidance and dendrite arborization. How DSCAM functions in vertebrates is not well understood. Here we show that DSCAM is expressed on commissural axons and interacts with Netrin-1, a prototypical guidance cue for commissural axons. The knockdown of DSCAM by specific siRNA or blockage of DSCAM signaling by overexpression of a mut...
متن کاملSignal Transduction Mechanisms In Commissural Axon Guidance: The Role Of Intracellular Tyrosine Kinases In Netrin-Dcc/frazzled Axon Attraction
To develop a functional nervous system, neural circuits are initially established through the stepwise process of neural specification, axon guidance and synaptogenesis. Axon guidance, the process by which neurons extend axons to their final targets, relies on the presence of extracellular cues, and their respective guidance receptors. Intracellular molecules that transduce these signals are cu...
متن کاملNetrin-1/DCC signaling in commissural axon guidance requires cell-autonomous expression of heparan sulfate.
There is increasing evidence that heparan sulfate (HS) plays an essential role in various axon guidance processes. These observations, however, have not addressed whether HS is required cell autonomously as an axonal coreceptor or as an environmental factor that modulates the localization of guidance molecules in the terrain in which growing axons navigate. Here we demonstrate that netrin-1-med...
متن کاملThe Caenorhabditis elegans P21-activated kinases are differentially required for UNC-6/netrin-mediated commissural motor axon guidance.
P21 activated kinases (PAKs) are major downstream effectors of rac-related small GTPases that regulate various cellular processes. We have identified the new PAK gene max-2 in a screen for mutants disrupted in UNC-6/netrin-mediated commissural axon guidance. There are three Caenorhabditis elegans PAKs. We find that each C. elegans PAK represents a distinct group previously identified in other s...
متن کاملIntegration of Shallow Gradients of Shh and Netrin-1 Guides Commissural Axons
During nervous system development, gradients of Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) and Netrin-1 attract growth cones of commissural axons toward the floor plate of the embryonic spinal cord. Mice defective for either Shh or Netrin-1 signaling have commissural axon guidance defects, suggesting that both Shh and Netrin-1 are required for correct axon guidance. However, how Shh and Netrin-1 collaborate to guide...
