Abstract

Axon pathfinding and target recognition are important processes in the formation of specific neuronal connectivity, which rely upon precise coordinated deployment of multiple guidance factors. This paper reveals the role of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) in regulating the pathfinding and targeting of the developing axons in Drosophila Moreover, our study indicates that PKG regulates the cytoplasmic-nuclear trafficking of the transcription factor LolaT, suggesting a mechanism of PKG in directing motor axon guidance. These findings highlight a new function of PKG in axon guidance by suppressing a transcription factor.
