Moving away from the midline: new developments for Slit and Robo

Abstract: SummaryIn most tissues, the precise control of cell migration and cellcell interaction is of paramount importance to the development of a functional structure. Several families of secreted molecules have been implicated in regulating these aspects of development, including the Slits and their Robo receptors. These proteins have well described roles in axon guidance but by influencing cell polarity and adhesion, they participate in many developmental processes in diverse cell types. We review recent progress in… Show more

“…Robo receptors belong to the superfamily of IgCAMs and engage in both homophilic and heterophilic interactions (Hivert et al 2002). Slits are the principal ligands for the Robo receptors (Kidd et al 1999), which, together with heparan sulphates, form a ternary complex required for signaling (Ypsilanti et al 2010). The cytoplasmic domains of Robo do not possess catalytic activities and, therefore, interact with different signaling molecules to exert their specific effects; these include netrin and several GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) and GEFs that control actin cytoskeletal dynamics by regulating the activity of RhoA, Rac1, and Cdc42 (Ypsilanti et al 2010).…”

The activity of Slit/Robo, including adhesion, is controlled by transcriptional regulation and endocytosis and degradation (Keleman et al 2005).…”

“…Mammalian homologs of Slit and Robo with functions outside of axon guidance have since been identified (18,19). Slit ligands have been implicated in liver, kidney, lung, and mammary development by modulating cell adhesion, migration, differentiation, and death (18,20,21).…”

“…There are four members of the Robo family of chemotactic guidance receptors (40). Therefore, it seemed logical to explore the possibility that AKAP79/150 may associate with other Robo receptor isoforms.…”

“…Therefore, it seemed logical to explore the possibility that AKAP79/150 may associate with other Robo receptor isoforms. However, only Robo1, -2, and -3 are expressed in neurons (40). Therefore, AKAP79 pull-down experiments were conducted with GST fusion proteins encompassing the cytoplasmic tails of Robo1, Robo2, and Robo3.…”
