The molecular biology of axon guidance.
Neuronal growth cones navigate over long distances along specific pathways to find their correct targets. The mechanisms and molecules that direct this pathfinding are the topics of this review. Growth cones appear to be guided by at least four different mechanisms: contact attraction, chemoattraction, contact repulsion, and chemorepulsion. Evidence is accumulating that these mechanisms act sim...
متن کاملThe growth cone: an integrator of unique cues into refined axon guidance
One of the challenges to understanding nervous system development is to establish how a fairly limited number of axon guidance cues can set up the patterning of very complex nervous systems. Most of the recent insights relevant to guidance mechanisms have come from cell biologists focusing on processes and molecular machinery controlling the guidance responses in the growth cone.
متن کاملAxon Regrowth during Development and Regeneration Following Injury Share Molecular Mechanisms
BACKGROUND The molecular mechanisms that determine axonal growth potential are poorly understood. Intrinsic growth potential decreases with age, and thus one strategy to identify molecular pathways controlling intrinsic growth potential is by studying developing young neurons. The programmed and stereotypic remodeling of Drosophila mushroom body (MB) neurons during metamorphosis offers a unique...
متن کاملSignaling Mechanisms in Cortical Axon Growth, Guidance, and Branching
Precise wiring of cortical circuits during development depends upon axon extension, guidance, and branching to appropriate targets. Motile growth cones at axon tips navigate through the nervous system by responding to molecular cues, which modulate signaling pathways within axonal growth cones. Intracellular calcium signaling has emerged as a major transducer of guidance cues but exactly how ca...
متن کاملDownstream of Guidance Receptors Entering the Baroque Period of Axon Guidance Signaling
The Roundabout ("Robo") family of transmembrane proteins are the receptors and mediators of the repellent axon guidance signal Slit. However, the molecular mechanisms by which Robo signaling leads to growth cone or neuron repulsion are still poorly understood. A study by Fan et al. in this issue of Neuron expands the repertoire of Robo pathway components and stimulates a new look at axon guidan...
متن کاملSignal Transduction Mechanisms In Commissural Axon Guidance: The Role Of Intracellular Tyrosine Kinases In Netrin-Dcc/frazzled Axon Attraction
To develop a functional nervous system, neural circuits are initially established through the stepwise process of neural specification, axon guidance and synaptogenesis. Axon guidance, the process by which neurons extend axons to their final targets, relies on the presence of extracellular cues, and their respective guidance receptors. Intracellular molecules that transduce these signals are cu...
