Independent roles of the dachshund and eyes absent genes in BMP signaling, axon pathfinding and neuronal specification.
In the Drosophila nerve cord, a subset of neurons expresses the neuropeptide FMRFamide related (Fmrf). Fmrf expression is controlled by a combinatorial code of intrinsic factors and an extrinsic BMP signal. However, this previously identified code does not fully explain the regulation of Fmrf. We have found that the Dachshund (Dac) and Eyes Absent (Eya) transcription co-factors participate in t...

In each system dis-Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 cussed, the projection phenotypes of the neurons involved had been described previously so that alterations in pathfinding were easily recognized. Neuronal differentiation has been postula...
متن کاملBMP signaling in telencephalic neural cell specification and maturation
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) make up a family of morphogens that are critical for patterning, development, and function of the central and peripheral nervous system. Their effects on neural cells are pleiotropic and highly dynamic depending on the stage of development and the local niche. Neural cells display a broad expression profile of BMP ligands, receptors, and transducer molecules. ...
متن کاملThe novel Rac effector RIN-1 regulates neuronal cell migration and axon pathfinding in C. elegans.
Cell migration and axon guidance require proper regulation of the actin cytoskeleton in response to extracellular guidance cues. Rho/Rac small GTPases are essential regulators of actin remodeling. Caenorhabditis elegans CED-10 is a Rac1 homolog that is required for various cellular morphological changes and migration events and is under the control of several guidance signaling pathways. There ...
متن کاملThe role of L1 in axon pathfinding and fasciculation.
The neural cell adhesion molecule L1 has been found to play important roles in axon growth and fasciculation. Our main objective was to determine the role of L1 during the development of connections between thalamus and cortex. We find that thalamocortical and corticothalamic axons in mice lacking L1 are hyperfasciculated, a subset of thalamocortical axons make pathfinding errors and thalamocor...
