Rat ROBO1 (also DUTT1) is a 170-200 kDa member of the four molecule ROBO family of guidance molecules (1-3). The term ROBO derives from round-about, a description of the circuitous pathway axons take in the absence of a functional ROBO gene (3, 4). Rat ROBO1 is a type I transmembrane (TM) glycoprotein that is synthesized as a 1651 amino acid (aa) precursor. It contains an 18 aa signal sequence, an 879 aa extracellular domain (ECD), a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 733 aa cytoplasmic region (5, 6). The ECD contains five C2-type Ig-like domains (aa 68-541) and three fibronectin (FN) type III domains (aa 561-864). The cytoplasmic region contains multiple 15-20 aa long CC (conserved cytoplasmic) motifs (C0-C3) (7, 8). Rat ROBO1 is likely to have at least one isoform. Based on the human and mouse gene, rat ROBO1 will utilize an alternate start site, creating an A (long) and B (short) isoform. The difference is the presence of a 32 aa extension at the N-terminus of the mature molecule (occurs in the A form) (9-12). Based on ROBO3 studies, this extension will impact the ability of ROBO1 to bind Slit (10). Rat ROBO1 ECD is 98% and 96% aa identical to the ECD in mouse and human ROBO1, respectively. ROBO1 serves as a repulsing molecule for axons that cross the midline. Initially, ROBO3 allows outgrowing axons to traverse the midline/floorplate. Once crossed, axons express ROBO1 which deflects neurites attempting to recross to the ipsilateral side (13). The chemorepulsant activity of ROBO1 is dependent on ROBO1 binding to SLIT1/2. Inhibition of ROBO1 is likely due to ROBO1-ROBO3 heterophilic binding (10, 13-15).

Scientific Data Images for Rat ROBO1 Antibody
ROBO1 in Rat Embryo.
ROBO1 was detected in immersion fixed frozen sections of rat embryo (neural tube) using 5 µg/mL Goat Anti-Rat ROBO1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1749) overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained with the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue).

ROBO1 was detected in perfusion fixed frozen sections of rat brain using Goat Anti-Rat ROBO1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1749) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Lower panel shows a lack of labeling if primary antibodies are omitted and tissue is stained only with secondary antibody followed by incubation with detection reagents.

Recombinant Rat ROBO1 Fc Chimera (Catalog # 1749-RB) was serially diluted and captured by Mouse Anti-Rat ROBO1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB17491) coated on a Clear Polystyrene Microplate (Catalog # DY990). Goat Anti-Rat ROBO1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1749) was biotinylated and incubated with the protein captured on the plate. Detection of the standard curve was achieved by incubating Streptavidin-HRP (Catalog # DY998)Detection of ROBO1 by Immunohistochemistry
Elevated expression of Robo1 leads to a decrease in IPC proliferation.(A) In utero electroporation (IUE) of either an empty vector (control) or a Robo1 expression vector (Robo1 OE) together with a H3-GFP expression vector was performed into WT cortices at E13.5. The cortical sections are stained with DAPI (blue), anti-GFP (green), anti-PH3 (magenta), and anti-TBR2 (white) antibodies at E15.5. The graph shows the ratio of PH3+ cells in TBR2+ and GFP+ cells (left) or PH3+ cells in TBR2+ and GFP-negative cells (right). Arrows indicate GFP+, PH3+, and TBR2+ cells. (B) IUE of an empty (control) or a Robo1 expression vector (Robo1 OE) and a H3-GFP expression vector into WT cortices at E14.5. The cortical sections are immunostained with DAPI (blue), anti-GFP (green), anti-KI67 (magenta), and anti-TBR2 (white) antibodies at E16.5. The graph shows the percentage of KI67+ and TBR2-negative cells located in the VZ (RGCs), TBR2+ and KI67+ cells (IPCs), and KI67-negative differentiated cells (postmitotic neurons) among total GFP+ cells. The percentage of RGCs and IPCs in electroporated cells was not different between Robo1 OE and control. (C) Auts2fl(ex8)/fl(ex8) or Emx1Cre/+; Auts2fl(ex8)/fl(ex8) (Auts2 cKO) cortices were electroporated with scrambled or Robo1 shRNA vector in utero at E13.5 and immunostained with anti-GFP (green), anti-PH3 (magenta) and anti-TBR2 (white) antibodies at E15.5. The graph shows the percentage of PH3+ cells among TBR2+ and GFP+ cells. Arrows indicate GFP+, PH3+, and TBR2+ cells. Data were presented as the mean ± SD (N = 3 mice, six sections).
