Extracellular cues and pioneers act together to guide axons in the ventral cord of C. elegans.
The ventral cord is the major longitudinal axon tract in C. elegans containing essential components of the motor circuit. Previous studies have shown that axons grow out sequentially and that there is a single pioneer for the right axon tract which is important for the correct outgrowth of follower axons. Here, the dependencies between early and late outgrowing axons in the ventral cord were st...
متن کاملCorrigendum: Discoidin Domain Receptors: Potential Actors and Targets in Cancer
The extracellular matrix critically controls cancer cell behavior by inducing several signaling pathways through cell membrane receptors. Besides conferring structural properties to tissues around the tumor, the extracellular matrix is able to regulate cell proliferation, survival, migration, and invasion. Among these receptors, the integrins family constitutes a major class of receptors that m...
متن کاملCollagen recognition and transmembrane signalling by discoidin domain receptors☆
The discoidin domain receptors, DDR1 and DDR2, are two closely related receptor tyrosine kinases that are activated by triple-helical collagen in a slow and sustained manner. The DDRs have important roles in embryo development and their dysregulation is associated with human diseases, such as fibrosis, arthritis and cancer. The extracellular region of DDRs consists of a collagen-binding discoid...
متن کاملClathrin adaptor AP-1 complex excludes multiple postsynaptic receptors from axons in C. elegans.
Neurons are highly polarized cells with morphologically and molecularly distinct axonal and dendritic compartments. It is not well understood how postsynaptic receptors are selectively enriched in dendrites in vivo. We investigated the molecular mechanisms of dendritically polarized localization of a glutamate receptor, an acetylcholine receptor, and a ROR-type receptor tyrosine kinase in the i...
متن کاملGenes that guide growth cones along the C. elegans ventral nerve cord.
During nervous system development, growth cone pioneering and fasciculation contribute to nerve bundle structure. Pioneer growth cones initially navigate along neuroglia to establish an axon scaffold that guides later extending growth cones. In C. elegans, the growth cone of the PVPR neuron pioneers the left ventral nerve cord bundle, providing a path for the embryonic extensions of the PVQL an...
