Mice lacking full-length Myo10 have intact brain commissures. (A) Schematic diagram illustrating the interaction of the cargo protein DCC (deleted in colorectal cancer) with the cargo-binding FERM domain of Myo10. (B) Colocalization of DCC and Myo10 to the tips of filopodia. HEK293T cells were transfected with human DCC and EGFP-tagged human Myo10 (hMyo10-EGFP), and subsequently fixed and labeled with anti-DCC antibodies which recognize an extracellular domain. Scale bar: 10 µm. (C) Coronal and horizontal sections of isolated and fixed mouse brains obtained by MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). Scale bars: 1 mm. CC, corpus callosum; AC, anterior commissure; HC, hippocampal commissure. (D) Schematic summary diagram. Mice lacking DCC (encoded by Dcc) or the DCC ligand Netrin-1 (encoded by Ntn1) have absent or negligible commissures, whereas commissures are intact in mice lacking the DCC transport protein Myo10.
