Dscam Switches Slit Repulsion To Mild Attraction Via Robo Receptors
… acts as anattractant through fra/DCC/Unc-40 and Dscam (Down syndrome cell adhesionmolecule) receptors. However, genetic evidence shows that Dscam alsoresponds to other ligand(s).We have identified Slit as an additional ligand for Dscam using both celloverlay and immunoprecipitation assays. Our …

Genetic Analysis of Drosophila Stomatogastric Nervous System
… is thought to be due to an extra copy of the Dscam gene (Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule). Loss of Ret signaling leads to an absence of neural precursors in the colon and rectum whereas Dscam is proposed to disrupt local axonal connections made by enteric neurons. The precise functions of …

New Methods for Characterizing the Complex Neural Circuitry of the Adult Drosophila Brain
… Drosophila Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule (Dscam) is required for suppressing ectopic bifurcation MB axons and for promoting divergent guidance of growth cones. Knockout of Dscam in EB neurons reveals a general role in formation and guidance of axonal branches. Finally, combining mosaic …
