Unc5B associates with LARG to mediate the action of repulsive guidance molecule
Neuronal axons are guided by attractive and repulsive cues in their local environment. Because the repulsive guidance molecule A (RGMa) was originally identified as an axon repellent in the visual system, diverse functions in the developing and adult central nervous system have been ascribed to it. RGMa binding to its receptor neogenin induces RhoA activation, leading to inhibitory/repulsive be...

anism would thus be a new way to form a tube. As the generation of the lumen and of the tube itself requires the apparition of an apical domain, we decided to investigate how part of the lateral domain becomes apical. Our first results, using transgenes driven by brachyury regulating sequences, show that several proteins classically involved in antero-posterior and planar polarities could be in...
متن کاملChromophore-assisted laser inactivation of a repulsive axonal guidance molecule
BACKGROUND The axons of retinal ganglion neurons from a precise topographic map in the optic tectum in the midbrain, and the guidance of retinal axons by directional cues in the tectum is crucial in this process. Several in vitro systems have been developed in order to identify the molecular basis of these directional cues. Temporal, but not nasal, retinal axons avoid posterior tectal membranes...
متن کاملRepulsive guidance molecule plays multiple roles in neuronal differentiation and axon guidance.
Repulsive guidance molecule (RGM) is a membrane-bound protein originally isolated as a guidance molecule for retinal axons. Three RGM isoforms (RGMa-RGMc) exist in vertebrates. We showed previously that RGMa is a cell-survival factor in the neuroepithelium of chick embryos that suppresses the proapoptotic activity of its receptor neogenin. In the present study, we performed gain- and loss-of-fu...
متن کاملIdentification of the Neogenin-Binding Site on the Repulsive Guidance Molecule A
Repulsive guidance molecule (RGM) is a membrane-bound protein that was originally identified as an axon guidance molecule in the chick retinotectal system. RGMa, one of the 3 isoforms found in mammals, is involved in laminar patterning, cephalic neural tube closure, axon guidance, and inhibition of axonal regeneration. In addition to its roles in the nervous system, RGMa plays a role in enhanci...
