Function
SLIT_DROME A short-range repellent, controlling axon crossing of the midline and a long-range chemorepellent, controlling mesoderm migration and patterning away from the midline. May interact with extracellular matrix molecules. Repulsive ligand for the guidance receptor roundabout (robo) and prevents inappropriate midline crossing by Robo-expressing axons.[1] [2] [3] [4]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Recognition of the large secreted protein Slit by receptors of the Robo family provides fundamental signals in axon guidance and other developmental processes. In Drosophila, Slit-Robo signalling regulates midline crossing and the lateral position of longitudinal axon tracts. We report the functional dissection of Drosophila Slit, using structure analysis, site-directed mutagenesis and in vitro assays. The N-terminal region of Slit consists of a tandem array of four independently folded leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains, connected by disulphide-tethered linkers. All three Drosophila Robos were found to compete for a single highly conserved site on the concave face of the second LRR domain of Slit. We also found that this domain is sufficient for biological activity in a chemotaxis assay. Other Slit activities may require Slit dimerisation mediated by the fourth LRR domain. Our results show that a small portion of Slit is able to induce Robo signalling and indicate that the distinct functions of Drosophila Robos are encoded in their divergent cytosolic domains.
