Slit and Robo regulate dendrite branching and elongation of space-filling neurons in Drosophila.

Developmental biology - 1 Dec 2008

Dimitrova Svetla, Reissaus André, Tavosanis Gaia

Abstract excerpt

Space-filling neurons extensively sample their receptive fields with fine dendritic branches. In this study we show that a member of the conserved Robo receptor family, Robo, and its ligand Slit regulate the dendritic differentiation of space-filling neurons. Loss of Robo or Slit function leads to faster elongating and less branched dendrites of the complex and space-filling class IV multi-dendritic...
