Interaxonal Interaction Defines Tiled Presynaptic Innervation in C. elegans
VIDEO ABSTRACT Cellular interactions between neighboring axons are essential for global topographic map formation. Here we show that axonal interactions also precisely instruct the location of synapses. Motoneurons form en passant synapses in Caenorhabditis elegans. Although axons from the same neuron class significantly overlap, each neuron innervates a unique and tiled segment of the muscle f...
متن کاملA novel regulatory mutation in the C. elegans sex determination gene tra-2 defines a candidate ligand/receptor interaction site.
Sex determination in the nematode C. elegans is dependent on cell-to-cell communication, which appears to be mediated by the predicted membrane protein TRA-2A and the secreted protein HER-1. In XO males, HER-1 is hypothesised to function as a repressive ligand that inactivates the TRA-2A receptor. In XX animals, HER-1 is absent and TRA-2A promotes hermaphrodite development by negatively regulat...
متن کاملA ZYG-12–dynein interaction at the nuclear envelope defines cytoskeletal architecture in the C. elegans gonad
Changes in cellular microtubule organization often accompany developmental progression. In the Caenorhabditis elegans embryo, the centrosome, which is attached to the nucleus via ZYG-12, organizes the microtubule network. In this study, we investigate ZYG-12 function and microtubule organization before embryo formation in the gonad. Surprisingly, ZYG-12 is dispensable for centrosome attachment ...
متن کاملLaser Pointer Interaction With Tiled Displays
Much work has been done on the development of laser pointers as interaction devices. Typically a camera captures images of a display surface and extracts a laser pointer dot location. This location is processed and used as a cursor position. Little of this work, however, has been aimed at the practical details of implementing such a system. We discuss the design of such a tracking system, focus...
متن کاملSyndecan defines precise spindle orientation by modulating Wnt signaling in C. elegans.
Wnt signals orient mitotic spindles in development, but it remains unclear how Wnt signaling is spatially controlled to achieve precise spindle orientation. Here, we show that C. elegans syndecan (SDN-1) is required for precise orientation of a mitotic spindle in response to a Wnt cue. We find that SDN-1 is the predominant heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycan in the early C. elegans embryo, and th...
