    δ-Protocadherin Function: From Molecular Adhesion Properties to Brain Circuitry DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sharon Rose Cooper Graduate Program in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Dr. James Jontes, Advisor Dr. Marcos Sotomayor, Co-advisor Dr. Heithem El-Hodiri Dr. Sharon Amacher Copyrighted by Sharon Rose Cooper 2017 Abstract Selective cell-to-cell adhesion is essential for normal development of the vertebrate brain, contributing to coordinated cell movements, regional partitioning and synapse formation. Members of the cadherin superfamily mediate calcium-dependent cell adhesion, and selective adhesion by various family members is thought to contribute to the development of neural circuitry. Members of the δ-protocadherin subfamily of cadherins are differentially expressed in the vertebrate nervous system and have been implicated in a range of neurodevelopmental disorders: schizophrenia, mental retardation, and epilepsy. However, little is known about how the δ- protocadherins contribute to the development of the nervous system, nor how this development is disrupted in the disease state. Here I focus on one member of the δ-protocadherin family, protocadherin-19 (pcdh19), since it has the clearest link to a neurodevelopmental disease, being the second most clinically relevant gene in epilepsy. Using pcdh19 transgenic zebrafish, we observed columnar modules of pcdh19-expresing cells in the optic tectum. In the absence of Pcdh19, the columnar organization is disrupted and visually guided behaviors are impaired. Furthermore, similar columns were observed in pcdh1a transgenic zebrafish, located both in the tectum and in other brain regions.

  • Cdh2 Coordinates Myosin-II Dependent Internalisation of the Zebrafish Neural Plate
    www.nature.com/scientificreports Corrected: Publisher Correction OPEN Cdh2 coordinates Myosin-II dependent internalisation of the zebrafsh neural plate Received: 4 June 2018 Claudio Araya1,2, Hanna-Maria Häkkinen 1, Luis Carcamo1, Mauricio Cerda3,4, Thierry Savy5,6, Accepted: 7 December 2018 Christopher Rookyard7, Nadine Peyriéras5,6 & Jonathan D. W. Clarke7 Published online: 12 February 2019 Tissue internalisation is a key morphogenetic mechanism by which embryonic tissues generate complex internal organs and a number of studies of epithelia have outlined a general view of tissue internalisation. Here we have used quantitative live imaging and mutant analysis to determine whether similar mechanisms are responsible for internalisation in a tissue that apparently does not have a typical epithelial organisation – the zebrafsh neural plate. We found that although zebrafsh embryos begin neurulation without a conventional epithelium, medially located neural plate cells adopt strategies typical of epithelia in order to constrict their dorsal surface membrane during cell internalisation. Furthermore, we show that Myosin-II activity is a signifcant driver of this transient cell remodeling which also depends on Cdh2 (N-cadherin). Abrogation of Cdh2 results in defective Myosin-II distribution, mislocalised internalisation events and defective neural plate morphogenesis. Our work suggests Cdh2 coordinates Myosin-II dependent internalisation of the zebrafsh neural plate. Te internalisation of superfcial sheets of cells is a widely used developmental strategy to generate complex three-dimensional structures with well-defned shape and size. Trough this mechanism, animal tissues form a number of internal organs including the vertebrate central nervous system1,2. In recent years, live imaging studies and mutant analysis has begun to defne the cellular, molecular, and biomechanical mechanisms responsible for tissue internalisation in a growing number of tractable model systems3,4.

  • The Intrinsically Disordered Proteins of Myelin in Health and Disease
    cells Review Flexible Players within the Sheaths: The Intrinsically Disordered Proteins of Myelin in Health and Disease Arne Raasakka 1 and Petri Kursula 1,2,* 1 Department of Biomedicine, University of Bergen, Jonas Lies vei 91, NO-5009 Bergen, Norway; [email protected] 2 Faculty of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine & Biocenter Oulu, University of Oulu, Aapistie 7A, FI-90220 Oulu, Finland * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 30 January 2020; Accepted: 16 February 2020; Published: 18 February 2020 Abstract: Myelin ensheathes selected axonal segments within the nervous system, resulting primarily in nerve impulse acceleration, as well as mechanical and trophic support for neurons. In the central and peripheral nervous systems, various proteins that contribute to the formation and stability of myelin are present, which also harbor pathophysiological roles in myelin disease. Many myelin proteins have common attributes, including small size, hydrophobic segments, multifunctionality, longevity, and regions of intrinsic disorder. With recent advances in protein biophysical characterization and bioinformatics, it has become evident that intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are abundant in myelin, and their flexible nature enables multifunctionality. Here, we review known myelin IDPs, their conservation, molecular characteristics and functions, and their disease relevance, along with open questions and speculations. We place emphasis on classifying the molecular details of IDPs in myelin, and we correlate these with their various functions, including susceptibility to post-translational modifications, function in protein–protein and protein–membrane interactions, as well as their role as extended entropic chains. We discuss how myelin pathology can relate to IDPs and which molecular factors are potentially involved. Keywords: myelin; intrinsically disordered protein; multiple sclerosis; peripheral neuropathies; myelination; protein folding; protein–membrane interaction; protein–protein interaction 1.

    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Plakoglobin Is Required for Effective Intermediate Filament Anchorage to Desmosomes Devrim Acehan1, Christopher Petzold1, Iwona Gumper2, David D. Sabatini2, Eliane J. Mu¨ller3, Pamela Cowin2,4 and David L. Stokes1,2,5 Desmosomes are adhesive junctions that provide mechanical coupling between cells. Plakoglobin (PG) is a major component of the intracellular plaque that serves to connect transmembrane elements to the cytoskeleton. We have used electron tomography and immunolabeling to investigate the consequences of PG knockout on the molecular architecture of the intracellular plaque in cultured keratinocytes. Although knockout keratinocytes form substantial numbers of desmosome-like junctions and have a relatively normal intercellular distribution of desmosomal cadherins, their cytoplasmic plaques are sparse and anchoring of intermediate filaments is defective. In the knockout, b-catenin appears to substitute for PG in the clustering of cadherins, but is unable to recruit normal levels of plakophilin-1 and desmoplakin to the plaque. By comparing tomograms of wild type and knockout desmosomes, we have assigned particular densities to desmoplakin and described their interaction with intermediate filaments. Desmoplakin molecules are more extended in wild type than knockout desmosomes, as if intermediate filament connections produced tension within the plaque. On the basis of our observations, we propose a particular assembly sequence, beginning with cadherin clustering within the plasma membrane, followed by recruitment of plakophilin and desmoplakin to the plaque, and ending with anchoring of intermediate filaments, which represents the key to adhesive strength.
