Reelin, its lipoprotein receptors [ very low density lipoprotein receptor ( Vldlr) and apolipoprotein E receptor 2 ( ApoER2; also known as Lrp8)], and the cytoplasmic adaptor protein disabled 1 ( Dab1) are important for the correct formation of layers in the cerebral cortex. Reeler mice lacking the reelin protein show altered radial neuronal migration resulting in an inversion of cortical layers. ApoER2 Vldlr double- knockout mutants and Dab1 mutants show a reeler- like phenotype, whereas milder phenotypes are found if only one of the two lipoprotein receptors for reelin is absent. However, the precise role of the individual reelin receptors in neuronal migration remained unclear. In the study reported here, we performed fate mapping of newly generated cortical neurons in single and double receptor mutants using bromodeoxyuridine- labeling and layer- specific markers. We present evidence for divergent roles of the two reelin receptors Vldlr and ApoER2, with Vldlr mediating a stop signal for migrating neurons and ApoER2 being essential for the migration of late generated neocortical neurons.
