SLIT2:ROBO1 increases RHOA activity
ROBO1 receptor, activated by SLIT2, binds to MYO9B and inhibits its RHOA GAP activity. SLIT2-ROBO1 signaling thus results in increased RHOA activity, which is thought to negatively regulate invasiveness of lung cancer cells (Kong et al. 2015). ROCK-mediated signaling and phosphorylation of the myosin regulatory light chain (MLRC) downstream of activated RHOA is needed for SLIT-mediated axon pathfinding in cranial motor neurons (Murray et al. 2010).
Neurogenesis is the process by which neural stem cells give rise to neurons, and occurs both during embryonic and perinatal development as well as in specific brain lineages during adult life (reviewed in Gotz and Huttner, 2005; Yao et al, 2016; Kriegstein and Alvarez-Buylla, 2009).
As early steps towards capturing the array of processes by which a fertilized egg gives rise to the diverse tissues of the body, examples of several processes have been annotated. Aspects of processes involved in most developmental processes, transcriptional regulation of pluripotent stem cells, gastrulation, and activation of HOX genes during differentiation are annotated. More specialized processes include nervous system development , aspects of the roles of cell adhesion molecules in axonal guidance and myogenesis, transcriptional regulation in pancreatic beta cell, cardiogenesis, transcriptional regulation of granulopoeisis, transcriptional regulation of testis differentiation, transcriptional regulation of white adipocyte differentiation, and molecular events of "nodal" signaling, LGI-ADAM interactions, and keratinization.
