The slit genes have recently been found to encode proteins with a conserved chemorepulsive activity for axons in invertebrates and vertebrates. We have determined the expression pattern of a slit gene in Xenopus embryos. In the neural tube, slit is expressed at the ventral and dorsal midlines, and the motor neurons. slit is also expressed in a changing pattern in the retina. The full-length Xenopus Slit protein is secreted extracellularly, whereas its receptor Roundabout can not be secreted. Using a myc-tagged secreted Slit protein, we confirmed the binding of Slit to Roundabout expressed on the cell surface. These results confirm Slit-Roundabout interactions and the biochemical properties of Slit and Roundabout proteins, and further support the idea that Slit may guide axon projections in multiple regions of the embryo.
