Ciliogenesis is closely correlated to 48 the cell cycle, and defects of cilia are related to human systemic diseases, such as 49 primary ciliary dyskinesia. However, the role of ciliogenesis in cortical development 50 remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that Cenpj, a protein that is required for 51 centriole biogenesis, plays a role in regulating cilium disassemblyin vivo. Depletion 52 of Cenpj in neural progenitor cells results in long cilia and abnormal cilia disassembly. 53 Radial glial cells (RG cells) with Cenpj depletion exhibit uncompleted cell division, 54 reduced cell proliferation and increased cell apoptosis in the developing mouse 55 cerebrum cortex, leading to microcephaly. In addition, Cenpj depletion causes long 56 and thin primary cilia and motile cilia in adult neural stem cells and reduced cell 57 proliferation in the subventricular zone (SVZ). Furthermore, we show that Cenpj 58 regulates cilia disassembly and neurogenesis through Kif2a, a plus-end-directed motor 59 protein. These data, collected from mice of both sexes, provide insights into how 60 ciliogenesis plays roles in cortical development and primary microcephaly induced by 61 Cenpj mutations in humans. 62 63 64 65 66 3 67 Significance Statement 68 Autosomal recessive primary microcephaly (MCPH) is a neurodevelopmental 69 disorder showing the major symptoms of reduction of circumference of the head, 70 brain volume and cortex thickness with normal brain architecture in birth. We used 71 conditional Cenpj deletion mice and found that neural progenitor cells exhibited long 72 primary cilia and abnormal cilium appendages. The defective cilium disassembly 73 caused by Cenpj depletion might correlate to reduced cell proliferation, uncompleted 74 cell division, cell apoptosis, and microcephaly in mice. Cenpj also regulates cilium 75 structure of adult neural stem cells and adult neurogenesis in mice. Additionally, our 76 results illustrated that Cenpj regulated cilia disassembly and neurogenesis through 77 Kif2a, indicating that primary cilia dynamic plays a crucial role in neural progenitor 78 cell mitosis and adult neurogenesis. 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 4 89 Introduction 90 Centrosomes are the organelles at the poles of the spindle that can persist into 91 interphase as microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs). The core is a ninefold 92 symmetrical centriole, and their ability to nucleate cytoplasmic microtubules (MTs) is 93 a property of the surrounding pericentriolar material (PCM). The centriole has a dual 94 life, existing not only as the core of the centrosome but also as the basal body for 95 primary cilia assembly. As a result, the structure and function of the centriole, the 96 centrosome, and the cilia have an impact on many aspects of development and 97 physiology. The primary cilium, a continuation and extension of microtubule doublets 98 from the basal body structure, is localized to the apical region of a radial glial cell 99 (RG cell). In the G0 quiescent phase, the RG cell processes a primary cilium out of 100 the ventricular endfoot surface. Upon entry into the cell cycle, the primary cilium 101 disassembles quickly to release the centrioles to form a bipolar spindle (Kobayashi 102 and Dynlacht, 2011; Nigg and Stearns, 2011). Cilium assembly and disassembly are 103 highly correlated to the cell cycle and centrosome (Pugacheva et al., 2007; Qin et al., 104 2007; Robert et al., 2007). The dynamics of primary cilia, unique in their ability to 105 function as sensors and conveyors of critical signals in a complex environment, may 106 have a supervisory role in the neurogenesis of RG cells. 107 Mutations of Cenpj or CPAP (a centrosomal-P4.1-associated protein) cause 108 microcephaly, dwarfism, low birthweight, and intellectual disability (Al-Dosari et al., 109 2010), which are thought to arise from a decline in neural progenitor cells (NPCs) 110 during development (Insolera et al., 2014b). Depletion of Cenpj causes severe defects 5 111 in centriole duplication and increases the population of monopolar, asymmetric 112 bipolar, and multipolar spindles in mitotic cells (Cho et al., 2006b; Kitagawa et al., 113 2011a; Kohlmaier et al., 2009; Schmidt et al., 2009; Tang et al., 2009a). In addition, 114 Cenpj acts as a scaffold for the cilium disassembly complex (CDC), which includes 115 Nde1, Aurora A, and OFD1, that is recruited to the ciliary base for timely cilium 116 disassembly(Gabriel et al., 2016). Mouse embryos with complete elimination of 117 Cenpj present prolonged mitosis and a widespread, p53-dependent cell death 118 phenotype, resulting in a reduction in RG cells and other types of neural progenitor 119 cells (Bazzi and Anderson, 2014; Garcez et al., 2015; Insolera et al., 2014b; McIntyre 120 et al., 2012).

Received 29 January, 2015; Accepted 29 June, 2015 Chromosome Y microsatellites seem to be ideal markers to delineate differences between human populations. They are transmitted in uniparental and they are very sensitive for genetic drift. This review will highlight the importance of the Y- Chromosome as a tool for tracing human evolution and describes some details of Y-chromosomal short tandem repeat (STR) analysis. Among them are: microsatellites, amplification using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of STRs, separation and detection and advantages of X-chromosomal microsatellites. Key words: Forensic, population, review, STR, Y- chromosome. INTRODUCTION Microsatellites are DNA regions with repeat units that are microsatellite, but repeats of five (penta-) or six (hexa-) 2 to 7 bp in length or most generally short tandem nucleotides are usually classified as microsatellites as repeats (STRs) or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) well. DNA can be used to study human evolution. (Ellegren, 2000; Imad et al., 2014). The classification of Besides, information from DNA typing is important for the DNA sequences is determined by the length of the medico-legal matters with polymorphisms leading to more core repeat unit and the number of adjacent repeat units.

In AD brain, tau is abnormally phosphorylated at many sites, and phosphorylation at Ser262 and Ser356 play critical roles in tau accumulation and toxicity. Microtubule-affinity regulating kinase 4 (MARK4) phosphorylates tau at those sites, and a double de novo mutation in the linker region of MARK4, ΔG316E317InsD, is associated with an elevated risk of AD. However, it remains unclear how this mutation affects phosphorylation, aggregation, and accumulation of tau and tau-induced neurodegeneration. Here, we report that MARK4ΔG316E317D increases the abundance of highly phosphorylated, insoluble tau species and exacerbates neurodegeneration via Ser262/356-dependent and -independent mechanisms.

Generation of excessive amounts of aggregated proteins and impairment of degradation systems for misfolded proteins such as autophagy can lead to accumulation of proteins in diseased neurons. Molecules that contribute to both these effects are emerging as critical players in disease pathogenesis. Furthermore, impairment of autophagy under disease conditions can be both a cause and a consequence of abnormal protein accumulation. Specifically, disease-causing proteins can impair autophagy, which further enhances the accumulation of abnormal proteins. In this short review, we focus on the relationship between the microtubule-associated protein tau and autophagy to highlight a feed-forward mechanism in disease pathogenesis.

  • Synergistic Genetic Interactions Between Pkhd1 and Pkd1 Result in an ARPKD-Like Phenotype in Murine Models
    BASIC RESEARCH www.jasn.org Synergistic Genetic Interactions between Pkhd1 and Pkd1 Result in an ARPKD-Like Phenotype in Murine Models Rory J. Olson,1 Katharina Hopp ,2 Harrison Wells,3 Jessica M. Smith,3 Jessica Furtado,1,4 Megan M. Constans,3 Diana L. Escobar,3 Aron M. Geurts,5 Vicente E. Torres,3 and Peter C. Harris 1,3 Due to the number of contributing authors, the affiliations are listed at the end of this article. ABSTRACT Background Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) are genetically distinct, with ADPKD usually caused by the genes PKD1 or PKD2 (encoding polycystin-1 and polycystin-2, respectively) and ARPKD caused by PKHD1 (encoding fibrocys- tin/polyductin [FPC]). Primary cilia have been considered central to PKD pathogenesis due to protein localization and common cystic phenotypes in syndromic ciliopathies, but their relevance is questioned in the simple PKDs. ARPKD’s mild phenotype in murine models versus in humans has hampered investi- gating its pathogenesis. Methods To study the interaction between Pkhd1 and Pkd1, including dosage effects on the phenotype, we generated digenic mouse and rat models and characterized and compared digenic, monogenic, and wild-type phenotypes. Results The genetic interaction was synergistic in both species, with digenic animals exhibiting pheno- types of rapidly progressive PKD and early lethality resembling classic ARPKD. Genetic interaction be- tween Pkhd1 and Pkd1 depended on dosage in the digenic murine models, with no significant enhancement of the monogenic phenotype until a threshold of reduced expression at the second locus was breached.

  • A Calcium- and Calmodulin-Dependent Kinase I␣/ Microtubule Affinity Regulating Kinase 2 Signaling Cascade Mediates Calcium-Dependent Neurite Outgrowth
    The Journal of Neuroscience, April 18, 2007 • 27(16):4413–4423 • 4413 Cellular/Molecular A Calcium- and Calmodulin-Dependent Kinase I␣/ Microtubule Affinity Regulating Kinase 2 Signaling Cascade Mediates Calcium-Dependent Neurite Outgrowth Nataliya V. Uboha,1 Marc Flajolet,2 Angus C. Nairn,1,2 and Marina R. Picciotto1 1Department of Psychiatry, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut 06508, and 2Laboratory of Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience, The Rockefeller University, New York, New York 10021 Calcium is a critical regulator of neuronal differentiation and neurite outgrowth during development, as well as synaptic plasticity in adulthood. Calcium- and calmodulin-dependent kinase I (CaMKI) can regulate neurite outgrowth; however, the signal transduction cascades that lead to its physiological effects have not yet been elucidated. CaMKI␣ was therefore used as bait in a yeast two-hybrid assay and microtubule affinity regulating kinase 2 (MARK2)/Par-1b was identified as an interacting partner of CaMKI in three independent screens. The interaction between CaMKI and MARK2 was confirmed in vitro and in vivo by coimmunoprecipitation. CaMKI binds MARK2 within its kinase domain, but only if it is activated by calcium and calmodulin. Expression of CaMKI and MARK2 in Neuro-2A (N2a) cells and in primary hippocampal neurons promotes neurite outgrowth, an effect dependent on the catalytic activities of these enzymes. In addition, decreasing MARK2 activity blocks the ability of the calcium ionophore ionomycin to promote neurite outgrowth. Finally, CaMKI phosphorylates MARK2 on novel sites within its kinase domain. Mutation of these phosphorylation sites decreases both MARK2 kinase activity and its ability to promote neurite outgrowth.

  • Autosomal Recessive Primary Microcephaly
    Mahmood et al. Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases 2011, 6:39 http://www.ojrd.com/content/6/1/39 REVIEW Open Access Autosomal recessive primary microcephaly (MCPH): clinical manifestations, genetic heterogeneity and mutation continuum Saqib Mahmood1, Wasim Ahmad2 and Muhammad J Hassan3* Abstract Autosomal Recessive Primary Microcephaly (MCPH) is a rare disorder of neurogenic mitosis characterized by reduced head circumference at birth with variable degree of mental retardation. In MCPH patients, brain size reduced to almost one-third of its original volume due to reduced number of generated cerebral cortical neurons during embryonic neurogensis. So far, seven genetic loci (MCPH1-7) for this condition have been mapped with seven corresponding genes (MCPH1, WDR62, CDK5RAP2, CEP152, ASPM, CENPJ, and STIL) identified from different world populations. Contribution of ASPM and WDR62 gene mutations in MCPH World wide is more than 50%. By and large, primary microcephaly patients are phenotypically indistinguishable, however, recent studies in patients with mutations in MCPH1, WDR62 and ASPM genes showed a broader clinical and/or cellular phenotype. It has been proposed that mutations in MCPH genes can cause the disease phenotype by disturbing: 1) orientation of mitotic spindles, 2) chromosome condensation mechanism during embryonic neurogenesis, 3) DNA damage- response signaling, 4) transcriptional regulations and microtubule dynamics, 5) certain unknown centrosomal mechanisms that control the number of neurons generated by neural precursor cells. Recent discoveries of mammalian models for MCPH have open up horizons for researchers to add more knowledge regarding the etiology and pathophysiology of MCPH. High incidence of MCPH in Pakistani population reflects the most probable involvement of consanguinity.

Ganesh Identification and Characterization of Genes Essential for Human Brain Development Abstract The human brain is a network of ninety billion neurons that allows for many of the behavioral adaptations considered unique to our species. One-fifth of these neurons are layered in an epithelial sheet known as the cerebral cortex, which is exquisitely folded into convolutions called gyri. Defects in neuronal number clinically present with microcephaly (Greek for “small head”), and in inherited cases these defects can be linked to mutations that identify genes essential for neural progenitor proliferation. Most microcephaly genes are characterized to play a role in the centrosome, however rarer presentations of microcephaly have identified different mechanisms. Charged multivesicular body protein/Chromatin modifying protein 1A (CHMP1A) is a member of the ESCRT-III endosomal sorting complex, but is also suggested to localize to the nuclear matrix and regulate chromatin.
