L1CAM/Neuroglian controls the axon–axon interactions establishing layered and lobular mushroom body architecture
The establishment of neuronal circuits depends on the guidance of axons both along and in between axonal populations of different identity; however, the molecular principles controlling axon-axon interactions in vivo remain largely elusive. We demonstrate that the Drosophila melanogaster L1CAM homologue Neuroglian mediates adhesion between functionally distinct mushroom body axon populations to...
متن کاملRoles of Specific Membrane Lipid Domains in EGF Receptor Activation and Cell Adhesion Molecule Stabilization in a Developing Olfactory System
BACKGROUND Reciprocal interactions between glial cells and olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) cause ORN axons entering the brain to sort, to fasciculate into bundles destined for specific glomeruli, and to form stable protoglomeruli in the developing olfactory system of an experimentally advantageous animal species, the moth Manduca sexta. Epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFRs) and the cell a...
متن کاملRegulation by protein kinase A switching of axonal pathfinding of zebrafish olfactory sensory neurons through the olfactory placode-olfactory bulb boundary.
Cumulative evidence suggests that neural network formation requires an ingenious regulation of the attractive and repulsive responses of growing axons to guidance cues. We examined the role of intracellular protein kinase A (PKA) signaling in the axonal pathfinding of olfactory sensory neurons in transparent zebrafish embryos. Microinjection of an olfactory marker protein gene promoter-driven d...
متن کاملDock and Pak regulate olfactory axon pathfinding in Drosophila.
The convergence of olfactory axons expressing particular odorant receptor (Or) genes on spatially invariant glomeruli in the brain is one of the most dramatic examples of precise axon targeting in developmental neurobiology. The cellular and molecular mechanisms by which olfactory axons pathfind to their targets are poorly understood. We report here that the SH2/SH3 adapter Dock and the serine/...
متن کاملRobo2 is required for establishment of a precise glomerular map in the zebrafish olfactory system.
Olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) expressing a given odorant receptor project their axons to specific glomeruli, creating a topographic odor map in the olfactory bulb (OB). The mechanisms underlying axonal pathfinding of OSNs to their precise targets are not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate that Robo2/Slit signaling functions to guide nascent olfactory axons to the OB primordium in zebrafi...
