Cracking the Combinatorial Semaphorin Code
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this issue of Neuron, Wu et al. describe a combinatorial code of repulsive Sema-2a and attractive Sema-2b signaling that mediates mechanosensory axonal guidance, fasciculation, and synaptic target selection within the CNS of Drosophila. Their work exemplifies how a detailed, multilevel molecular-genetic analysis (from molecules to behavior) provides fundamental insights into neural circuit development.

A semaphorin 3A inhibitor blocks axonal chemorepulsion and enhances axon regeneration.
Secreted semaphorins are a large group of extracellular proteins involved in a variety of processes during development, including neuronal migration and axon guidance. We screened a peptoid combinatorial library to search for semaphorin 3A inhibitors, and identified a peptoid (SICHI: semaphorin Induced chemorepulsion inhibitor) that blocks semaphorin 3A-chemorepulsion and growth-cone collapse i...
متن کاملA Combinatorial Semaphorin Code Instructs the Initial Steps of Sensory Circuit Assembly in the Drosophila CNS
Longitudinal axon fascicles within the Drosophila embryonic CNS provide connections between body segments and are required for coordinated neural signaling along the anterior-posterior axis. We show here that establishment of select CNS longitudinal tracts and formation of precise mechanosensory afferent innervation to the same CNS region are coordinately regulated by the secreted semaphorins S...
متن کاملDatabase Cracking
This paper talks about the self-oraganized index maintainance approach of database cracking. It provides fundamental knowledge as well as the description of a basic implementation of database cracking. Alongside multiple cracking algorithms, the implementation also contains the code of a cracking index. By combining these two features the implementation allows the execution of range queries on ...
متن کاملA green, efficient, and rapid procedure for the synthesis of pyrano[3,2-c] quinoline and pyrano[3,2-c]pyridone derivatives catalyzed by [BMIm]Cl
A highly practical and efficient preparation of pyrano[3,2-c]pyridone and pyrano[3,2-c]quinoline derivatives was developed via an ionic liquid mediated and promoted multi-component reaction of malononitrile, aldehyde, and 4-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one or 4-hydroxy-6-methylpyridin-2(1H)-one. The combinatorial syntheses were achieved for the first time without applying extra activation energy at am...
