    Commissureless acts as a substrate adapter in a conserved Nedd4 E3 ubiquitin ligase pathway to promote axon growth across the midline

    Kelly G Sullivan, Greg J Bashaw
    Commissureless works with the Nedd4 E3 ubiquitin ligase to transiently degrade the Robo1 receptor to allow commissural axons to cross the midline.
