Abstract excerpt
The chemokine SDF1 activates a cAMP-mediated signaling pathway that antagonizes retinal responses to the midline repellent slit. We show that knocking down the calmodulin-activated adenylate cyclase ADCY8 makes retinal axons insensitive to SDF1. Experiments in vivo using male and female zebrafish (Danio rerio) confirm a mutual antagonism between slit signaling and ADCY8-mediated signaling. Unexpectedly, knockdown...
