Slit-independent guidance of longitudinal axons by Drosophila Robo3

Abigail Carranza, LaFreda J. Howard, Haley E. Brown…·Timothy A. Evans

This study shows that Drosophila Robo3 guides longitudinal axons without requiring Slit, despite needing its Ig1 domain for Slit binding and axonal localization.

The Slit-binding Ig1 domain is required for multiple axon guidance activities of Drosophila Robo2

LaFreda J. Howard, Marie C. Reichert, Timothy A. Evans

This study shows that the Slit-binding Ig1 domain of Drosophila Robo2 is essential for midline repulsion and lateral axon pathway formation, and its removal disrupts these functions.
