Nebert, MD Department of Environmental Health University of Cincinnati Abstract Cadmium (Cd2+, Cd) is a nonessential metal widely distributed in the environment. At the molecular level, little is known in vertebrates about how Cd is handled. Resistance to Cd-induced testicular damage is a recessive trait assigned to the mouse Cdm locus. We first narrowed the Cdm- containing region from 4.96 Mb to 880 kb, and found the Slc39a8 gene (encoding ZIP8 transporter) in this region. Expression of ZIP8 in cultured mouse fetal fibroblasts produced a >10-fold increase in the rate of intracellular Cd accumulation and 30-fold increase in Cd-induced cell death. Although the complete ZIP8 mRNA has no nucleotide differences between two sensitive and two resistant strains of mice, the ZIP8 mRNA was highly expressed in vascular endothelium of the testis in two sensitive inbred strains of mice but absent in these cells in two resistant strains. The Slc39a8 gene is therefore the Cdm locus. Cd uptake mediated by ZIP8 operates maximally at pH 7.5 and 37ºC, inhibited by cyanide, and - dependent on bicarbonate (HCO3 ). The Km for Cd uptake is 0.62 mM, when determined in Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS). Mn is the best competitive cation for Cd uptake, and the Km for Mn uptake is 2.2 mM in HBSS; thus, Mn is likely the physiological substrate. ZIP8 protein is glycosylated and is localized to the apical side of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells. Of 14 ZIP transporters identified in the human and mouse genome, ZIP14 is evolutionarily the one most related to ZIP8, having a similar number of amino acids, highest percent identity, and similar intron-exon structure. Two spliced ZIP14 transcripts, involving alternative exons 4, were found to translate into fully functional proteins, designated as ZIP14A and ZIP14B. Similar to the ZIP8 transporter, the ZIP14 proteins have a high affinity for Cd and Mn. ZIP14 proteins are heavily glycosylated and also localized to the apical side of MDCK cells. We believe that the ZIP8 and ZIP14 transporters are likely to play important roles in Cd uptake and disease in experimental animals, as well as humans.

Abstract Eukaryotes possess eight highly conserved Lsm (like Sm) proteins that assemble into circular, heteroheptameric complexes, bind RNA, and direct a diverse range of biological processes. Among the many essential functions of Lsm proteins, the cytoplasmic Lsm1-7 complex initiates mRNA decay, while the nuclear Lsm2-8 complex acts as a chaperone for U6 spliceosomal RNA. It has been unclear how these complexes perform their distinct functions while differing by only one out of seven subunits. Here, we elucidate the molecular basis for Lsm-RNA recognition and present four high-resolution structures of Lsm complexes bound to RNAs. The structures of Lsm2-8 bound to RNA identify the unique 2′,3′ cyclic phosphate end of U6 as a prime determinant of specificity. In contrast, the Lsm1-7 complex strongly discriminates against cyclic phosphates and tightly binds to oligouridylate tracts with terminal purines.

Sm-like proteins were identified in a variety of organisms based on sequence homology with the Sm protein family (see SNRPD2; MIM 601061). Sm-like proteins contain the Sm sequence motif, which consists of 2 regions separated by a linker of variable length that folds as a loop. The Sm-like proteins are thought to form a stable heteromer present in tri-snRNP particles, which are important for pre-mRNA splicing.

  • Increased Dosage of DYRK1A and DSCR1 Delays Neuronal Differentiation in Neocortical Progenitor Cells
    Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on September 28, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Increased dosage of DYRK1A and DSCR1 delays neuronal differentiation in neocortical progenitor cells 1 Nobuhiro Kurabayashi and Kamon Sanada Molecular Genetics Research Laboratory, Graduate School of Science, The University of Tokyo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-0033, Japan Down’s syndrome (DS), a major genetic cause of mental retardation, arises from triplication of genes on human chromosome 21. Here we show that DYRK1A (dual-specificity tyrosine-phosphorylated and -regulated kinase 1A) and DSCR1 (DS critical region 1), two genes lying within human chromosome 21 and encoding for a serine/ threonine kinase and calcineurin regulator, respectively, are expressed in neural progenitors in the mouse developing neocortex. Increasing the dosage of both proteins in neural progenitors leads to a delay in neuronal differentiation, resulting ultimately in alteration of their laminar fate. This defect is mediated by the cooperative actions of DYRK1A and DSCR1 in suppressing the activity of the transcription factor NFATc. In Ts1Cje mice, a DS mouse model, dysregulation of NFATc in conjunction with increased levels of DYRK1A and DSCR1 was observed. Furthermore, counteracting the dysregulated pathway ameliorates the delayed neuronal differentiation observed in Ts1Cje mice. In sum, our findings suggest that dosage of DYRK1A and DSCR1 is critical for proper neurogenesis through NFATc and provide a potential mechanism to explain the neurodevelopmental defects in DS.

Conversely, abnormalities in dendrites have been (13), mental retardation, seizure disorders (15), ASD (13, 16–18), reported in multiple mental disorders and are thought to contribute psychosis in Alzheimer’s disease (19), and obesity (20, 21). Mouse to pathogenesis. Rare copy number variations (CNVs) are genetic models of 16p11.2 deletion and duplication have been generated, alterations that are associated with a wide range of mental disorders and heterozygotes of both the duplication and the deletion exhibit and are highly penetrant. The 16p11.2 microduplication is one of the dosage-dependent alterations in gene expression, behavioral CNVs most strongly associated with schizophrenia and autism, phenotypes, and brain morphology (22).

  • Network-Based Analysis of Key Regulatory Genes Implicated in Type
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Network‑based analysis of key regulatory genes implicated in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Recurrent Miscarriages in Turner Syndrome Anam Farooqui1, Alaa Alhazmi2, Shaful Haque3, Naaila Tamkeen4, Mahboubeh Mehmankhah1, Safa Tazyeen1, Sher Ali5 & Romana Ishrat1* The information on the genotype–phenotype relationship in Turner Syndrome (TS) is inadequate because very few specifc candidate genes are linked to its clinical features. We used the microarray data of TS to identify the key regulatory genes implicated with TS through a network approach. The causative factors of two common co‑morbidities, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Recurrent Miscarriages (RM), in the Turner population, are expected to be diferent from that of the general population. Through microarray analysis, we identifed nine signature genes of T2DM and three signature genes of RM in TS. The power‑law distribution analysis showed that the TS network carries scale‑free hierarchical fractal attributes. Through local‑community‑paradigm (LCP) estimation we fnd that a strong LCP is also maintained which means that networks are dynamic and heterogeneous. We identifed nine key regulators which serve as the backbone of the TS network. Furthermore, we recognized eight interologs functional in seven diferent organisms from lower to higher levels. Overall, these results ofer few key regulators and essential genes that we envisage have potential as therapeutic targets for the TS in the future and the animal models studied here may prove useful in the validation of such targets. Te medical systems and scientists throughout the world are under an unprecedented challenge to meet the medical needs of much of the world’s population that are sufering from chromosomal anomalies.
