Abl酪氨酸激酶及其gtp酶Rho家族中的效应物分别控制果蝇的树突形态发生。然而,尚未确定细胞中许多GTPase调节因子中的哪一个将这些信号分子连接到树突中。在轴突中,双功能鸟嘌呤交换因子Trio是连接Abl酪氨酸激酶信号通路和Rho GTPases(尤其是Rac)之间的重要纽带,使这些系统协同作用以控制肌动蛋白的组织。然而,在树突形态发生中,Abl和Rac的作用是相反的,而不是加强的,这就提出了Trio是否参与其中的问题,如果是这样,它是通过Rac、Rho还是两者同时起作用。我们现在发现Trio在果蝇胚胎的感觉神经元中表达,并调节它们的树突树突化。三重奏突变体表现为树突分枝减少和平均枝长增加,而过表达三重奏突变体则表现为相反的效果。我们进一步证明了是Rac GEF结构域而不是Rho GEF结构域对Trio的树突功能起主要作用。因此,Trio塑造了树突乔木的复杂性,并以一种模仿其靶标Rac的效果的方式做到了这一点。
Abl tyrosine kinase and its effectors among the Rho family of GTPases each act to control dendritic morphogenesis in Drosophila. It has not been established, however, which of the many GTPase regulators in the cell link these signaling molecules in the dendrite. In axons, the bifunctional guanine exchange factor, Trio, is an essential link between the Abl tyrosine kinase signaling pathway and Rho GTPases, particularly Rac, allowing these systems to act coordinately to control actin organization. In dendritic morphogenesis, however, Abl and Rac have contrary rather than reinforcing effects, raising the question of whether Trio is involved, and if so, whether it acts through Rac, Rho or both. We now find that Trio is expressed in sensory neurons of the Drosophila embryo and regulates their dendritic arborization. trio mutants display a reduction in dendritic branching and increase in average branch length, whereas over-expression of trio has the opposite effect. We further show that it is the Rac GEF domain of Trio, and not its Rho GEF domain that is primarily responsible for the dendritic function of Trio. Thus, Trio shapes the complexity of dendritic arbors and does so in a way that mimics the effects of its target, Rac.
