Synapse Development Organized by Neuronal Activity-Regulated Immediate- Early Genes Seungjoon Kim1, Hyeonho Kim1 and Ji Won Um1 Kim et al. Experimental & Molecular Medicine (2018) 50:11 DOI 10.1038/s12276-018-0025-1 Experimental & Molecular Medicine REVIEW ARTICLE Open Access Synapse development organized by neuronal activity-regulated immediate- early genes Seungjoon Kim1, Hyeonho Kim1 and Ji Won Um1 Abstract Classical studies have shown that neuronal immediate-early genes (IEGs) play important roles in synaptic processes critical for key brain functions. IEGs are transiently activated and rapidly upregulated in discrete neurons in response to a wide variety of cellular stimuli, and they are uniquely involved in various aspects of synapse development. In this review, we summarize recent studies of a subset of neuronal IEGs in regulating synapse formation, transmission, and plasticity. We also discuss how the dysregulation of neuronal IEGs is associated with the onset of various brain disorders and pinpoint key outstanding questions that should be addressed in this field.

Neuronal activation induces rapid transcription of immediate-early genes (IEGs) such as Npas4, Arc, and Homer1a. Npas4 regulates the transcription of its downstream target genes including BDNF to regulate inhibitory synapse development. Arc is targeted to activated excitatory synapses and facilitates AMPA receptor endocytosis through interaction with dynamin and endophilin, resulting in long-term depression. Homer1a is also specifically targeted to excitatory synapses, where it competes with other Homer proteins to interact with Homer-binding proteins such as mGluRs, Shanks, and IP3R and negatively acts in regulating excitatory synapse structure, function, and plasticity second messenger systems16.

This article is published with open access Abstract Homer1 is a synaptic scaffold protein that regulates glutamatergic synapses and spine morphogenesis. HOMER1 knockout (KO) mice show behavioral abnormalities related to psychiatric disorders, and HOMER1 has been associated with psychiatric disorders such as addiction, autism disorder (ASD), schizophrenia (SZ), and depression. However, the mechanisms by which it promotes spine stability and its global function in maintaining the synaptic proteome has not yet been fully investigated. Here, we used computational approaches to identify global functions for proteins containing the Homer1-interacting PPXXF motif within the postsynaptic compartment. Ankyrin-G was one of the most topologically important nodes in the postsynaptic peripheral 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: membrane subnetwork, and we show that one of the PPXXF motifs, present in the postsynaptically-enriched 190 kDa isoform of ankyrin-G (ankyrin-G 190), is recognized by the EVH1 domain of Homer1. We use proximity ligation combined with super- resolution microscopy to map the interaction of ankyrin-G and Homer1 to distinct nanodomains within the spine head and correlate them with spine head size.

  • Association of Common Genetic Variants of HOMER1 Gene with Levodopa Adverse Effects in Parkinson’S Disease Patients
    The Pharmacogenomics Journal (2014) 14, 289–294 & 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1470-269X/14 www.nature.com/tpj ORIGINAL ARTICLE Association of common genetic variants of HOMER1 gene with levodopa adverse effects in Parkinson’s disease patients AF Schumacher-Schuh1,2, V Altmann1, M Rieck1, L Tovo-Rodrigues1, TL Monte2, SM Callegari-Jacques3, MS Medeiros2, CRM Rieder2 and MH Hutz1 Levodopa is the most effective symptomatic therapy for Parkinson’s disease, but its chronic use could lead to chronic adverse outcomes, such as motor fluctuations, dyskinesia and visual hallucinations. HOMER1 is a protein with pivotal function in glutamate transmission, which has been related to the pathogenesis of these complications. This study investigates whether polymorphisms in the HOMER1 gene promoter region are associated with the occurrence of the chronic complications of levodopa therapy. A total of 205 patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease were investigated. Patients were genotyped for rs4704559, rs10942891 and rs4704560 by allelic discrimination with Taqman assays. The rs4704559 G allele was associated with a lower prevalence of dyskinesia (prevalence ratio (PR) ¼ 0.615, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.426–0.887, P ¼ 0.009) and visual hallucinations (PR ¼ 0.515, 95% CI 0.295–0.899, P ¼ 0.020). Our data suggest that HOMER1 rs4704559 G allele has a protective role for the development of levodopa adverse effects.

Rasmussen1, Hanne B. Rasmussen2 and Asli Silahtaroglu1* Abstract The neurotransmitter glutamate facilitates neuronal signalling at excitatory synapses. Glutamate is released from the presynaptic membrane into the synaptic cleft. Across the synaptic cleft glutamate binds to both ion channels and metabotropic glutamate receptors at the postsynapse, which expedite downstream signalling in the neuron. The postsynaptic density, a highly specialized matrix, which is attached to the postsynaptic membrane, controls this downstream signalling. The postsynaptic density also resets the synapse after each synaptic firing. It is composed of numerous proteins including a family of Discs large associated protein 1, 2, 3 and 4 (DLGAP1-4) that act as scaffold proteins in the postsynaptic density. They link the glutamate receptors in the postsynaptic membrane to other glutamate receptors, to signalling proteins and to components of the cytoskeleton. With the central localisation in the postsynapse, the DLGAP family seems to play a vital role in synaptic scaling by regulating the turnover of both ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors in response to synaptic activity. DLGAP family has been directly linked to a variety of psychological and neurological disorders. In this review we focus on the direct and indirect role of DLGAP family on schizophrenia as well as other brain diseases. Keywords: DLGAP1, DLGAP2, DLGAP3, DLGAP4, SAPAP, PSD, GKAP, Schizophrenia, Scaffold proteins, Synaptic scaling Introduction interaction partners, DLGAP1–4 proteins are likely to play The postsynaptic density (PSD) is a highly specialized a role in multiple processes of the PSD.
