  1. DCN – their axonal behaviour LabRetreat 04.06.2007

  2. Overview • Axon Extension & Retraction • Experiments: • Number of Dorsal Cluster Neurons • Axons in ME • Neuron vs. Axon positioning • Computation: • Wildtype/Mutation Overview • Chinmo • Axon Branching • Experiments • Rab5 DN • Rab7 DN • dORK • Shi DN

  3. Number of Dorsal Cluster Neurons • Genotype: w1118/yw;UAS-lacZ.NZ(20b);atoGal-14a & w1118/yw;;UAS-lacZ.NZ(J312)/atoGal-14a • Condition: room temperature • Sorting: • Age: 2, 7, 14, 28, 42 days • Gender: ♀ and ♂ • Staining: β-gal

  4. Number of Dorsal Cluster Neurons Genotype: atoGal4-14a X UAS::nlacZ Staining:α-βgal Gender: male Age: 2 days old Location: right side Neurons: 56

  5. Number of Dorsal Cluster Neurons → There is no statistical significant difference between the two Dorsal Cluster of each brain regarding age and gender.

  6. Graphical Results DCNs Mean + SD ** indicates statistical significant differences, (not all stat. signif. differences are shown)

  7. Axons in the Medulla • Genotype: w/+;;UAS-lacZ,atoGal-14a/+ • Condition: room temperature • Sorting: • Age: 2 days • Gender: ♀ and ♂ • Staining: β-gal

  16. Computational Model • Assumptions • Number of Neurons: 56 • Number of Axons in Medulla: 12 • Algorithm • GIN • Neighbourhood Competition + Timing

  18. Computational Model - Overview Number Of DCNs Wnt based on Connectivity Of DCNs FGF GIN uses

  19. GIN – Implemented Logic before Lobula Lobula Medulla Time wnt5 & wnt2 & fz & fz2 Signals: None fgf & fgfr true false false true false Rac: false true true false true JNK:

  20. Neighbourhood Competition • Neighbourhood consists of • 8 + • the current neuron

  21. Neighbourhood Competition • Logic for competition • Choose one neuron ni randomly (it must have permission from GIN) • If (ni-4+ni-3+ni-2+ni-1+ ni+ni+1+ni+2+ni+3+ni+4 >=2) • Then ni→ Lobula = 0 • Else ni→ Medulla = 1 • Repeat these two steps until there is a stable pattern or a time dependent pattern has been found.

  24. Computational Model – Wnt Signal Mean + SD

  25. Computational Model – FGF Signal Mean + SD

  26. Chinmo Hypothesis: Only those axons are in the Medulla which lacks Chinmo !

  27. Chinmo • Assumptions: • 56 Neurons • 12 Axons remain in the Medulla • There is a neighbourhood communication • GIN extended by Chinmo

  28. Chinmo – A teamplayer of GIN? Wnt FGF Fz FGFR DSH Chinmo RAC P-JNK P-JNK EXTENSIONRETRACTION Srahna et al. 2006 Lobula Medulla

  29. GIN + Chinmo – Implemented Logic before Lobula Lobula Medulla Time wnt5 & wnt2 & fz & fz2 Signals: None fgf & fgfr & Chinmo true false false true false Rac: false true true false true JNK:

  30. Chinmo • Some thoughts: 56! 56! = 5,583833073 * 1011= 558.383.307.300 = 12! * 44! 12! * (56-12)! • Model: • 40.000 different settings (<< 1% ) • 1.019 settings had 12 Axons in the Medulla • 1.019 are not unique ! • 24 fits the spatial structure of „12 Axons in ME“ • BUT: Since these 24 settings are not unique, it might be that there is no competition and therefore CHINMO+GIN decide about axonal fate.
