The authors were the first to demonstrate that Rac1 associates directly with PlexinA1 and that Rac1 is activated by Sema3A stimulation. Moreover, they show that constitutively active PlexinA1 does not require Rac1, suggesting that Rac1 acts upstream of PlexinA1 during Sema3A-induced repulsion.

This study is crucial for bridging several gaps in our understanding of the signaling pathway linking Sema3A and integrin activity. The authors show that activation of Rac1 by Sema3A stimulation is dependent on FARP2's dissociation from PlexinA1. Furthermore, they showi that FARP2's RacGEF activity is critical for the association of Rnd1 with PlexinA1 and the stimulation of PlexinA1's R-Ras GAP activity.

The authors were the first to show that the Sema4D receptor, PlexinB1, possesses intrinsic R-Ras GAP activity and to describe its regulation. They demonstrate that Rnd1-bound PlexinB1 directly downregulates R-Ras activity, which is necessary to achieve repulsion by Sema4D.

J Neurosci 24 (2004) 11473-11480. This paper demonstrates that Rnd1 relieves an intramolecular interaction between PlexinB1's two GAP domains, which is necessary to allow R-Ras-GTP to bind and be inactivated. Furthermore, the authors show that Sema4D-induced PlexinB1 clustering is also necessary to stimulate PlexinB1's R-Ras GAP activity.

Adam meets Eph: an ADAM substrate recognition module acts as a molecular switch for ephrin cleavage in trans. Cell 123 (2005) 291-304. The authors show that the ADAM10 metalloprotease is associated in cis with EphA and cleaves ephrinA in trans. They also show that the ADAM10 cysteine-rich domain specifically recognizes an ephrinA-EphA complex and only then activates the protease domain. This provides a mechanism by which ADAM10 selectively cleaves only Eph-bound ephrins.

Nat Neurosci 9 (2006) 322-330. This study reveals a mechanism by which cis-expressed ephrinA5 can block EphA3 phosphorylation through an interaction with the fibronectin III domain of EphA3. This silences EphA3 signaling and reduces the response of the cell to ephrinA presented in trans.

The authors demonstrate that retinal axons respond with either attraction or repulsion to ephrinA5, depending on their retinal region of origin and on the concentration of ephrinA5 they encounter. They propose a model to explain how retinal axons target to the correct location on the tectal ephrinA5 gradient by regulating the balance between ephrin-Eph-mediated adhesion versus repulsion.

Coexpressed EphA receptors and ephrin-A ligands mediate opposing actions on growth cone navigation from distinct membrane domains. Cell 121 (2005) 127-139. The authors show that in motor axons, cis EphA and ephrinA are separated into distinct membrane domains that restrict their cis interactions. This mechanism allows independent signaling from ephrins and Ephs expressed in the same cell membrane.
