Background and References This gene is a member of the synapsin gene family. Synapsins encode neuronal phosphoproteins which associate with the cytoplasmic surface of synaptic vesicles. Family members are characterized by common protein domains, and they are implicated in synaptogenesis and the modulation of neurotransmitter release, suggesting a potential role in several neuropsychiatric diseases. The protein encoded by this gene shares the BACKGROUND: synapsin family domain model, with domains A, C, and E exhibiting the highest degree of conservation. The protein contains a unique domain J, located between domains C and E. Based on this gene's localization to 22q12.3, a possible schizophrenia susceptibility locus, and the established neurobiological roles of the synapsins, this family member may represent a candidate gene for schizophrenia. The TIMP3 gene is located within an intron of this gene and is transcribed in the opposite direction. REFERENCES: 1) Tsai, M.T., et al. Am. J. Med. Genet. 114(1):79-83(2002) 2) Kao, H.T., et al. J.

1 Evidence for Gliadin Antibodies As Causative Agents in Schizophrenia
1 Evidence for gliadin antibodies as causative agents in schizophrenia. C.J.Carter PolygenicPathways, 20 Upper Maze Hill, Saint-Leonard’s on Sea, East Sussex, TN37 0LG [email protected] Tel: 0044 (0)1424 422201 I have no fax Abstract Antibodies to gliadin, a component of gluten, have frequently been reported in schizophrenia patients, and in some cases remission has been noted following the instigation of a gluten free diet. Gliadin is a highly immunogenic protein, and B cell epitopes along its entire immunogenic length are homologous to the products of numerous proteins relevant to schizophrenia (p = 0.012 to 3e-25). These include members of the DISC1 interactome, of glutamate, dopamine and neuregulin signalling networks, and of pathways involved in plasticity, dendritic growth or myelination. Antibodies to gliadin are likely to cross react with these key proteins, as has already been observed with synapsin 1 and calreticulin. Gliadin may thus be a causative agent in schizophrenia, under certain genetic and immunological conditions, producing its effects via antibody mediated knockdown of multiple proteins relevant to the disease process. Because of such homology, an autoimmune response may be sustained by the human antigens that resemble gliadin itself, a scenario supported by many reports of immune activation both in the brain and in lymphocytes in schizophrenia. Gluten free diets and removal of such antibodies may be of therapeutic benefit in certain cases of schizophrenia. 2 Introduction A number of studies from China, Norway, and the USA have reported the presence of gliadin antibodies in schizophrenia 1-5. Gliadin is a component of gluten, intolerance to which is implicated in coeliac disease 6.

Received: 25 August 2020; Accepted: 17 September 2020; Published: 19 September 2020 Abstract: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) describes a group of neurodevelopmental disorders with core deficits in social communication and manifestation of restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped behaviors. Despite the core symptomatology, ASD is extremely heterogeneous with respect to the severity of symptoms and behaviors. This heterogeneity presents an inherent challenge to all large-scale genome-wide omics analyses. In the present study, we address this heterogeneity by stratifying ASD probands from simplex families according to the severity of behavioral scores on the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised diagnostic instrument, followed by re-analysis of existing DNA methylation data from individuals in three ASD subphenotypes in comparison to that of their respective unaffected siblings. We demonstrate that subphenotyping of cases enables the identification of over 1.6 times the number of statistically significant differentially methylated regions (DMR) and DMR-associated genes (DAGs) between cases and controls, compared to that identified when all cases are combined. Our analyses also reveal ASD-related neurological functions and comorbidities that are enriched among DAGs in each phenotypic subgroup but not in the combined case group.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

BMC Psychiatry (2016) 16:286 DOI 10.1186/s12888-016-0989-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access DNA hypomethylation of Synapsin II CpG islands associates with increased gene expression in bipolar disorder and major depression Cristiana Cruceanu1,2, Elena Kutsarova1,2, Elizabeth S. Chen1, David R. Checknita1, Corina Nagy1, Juan Pablo Lopez1, Martin Alda3, Guy A. Rouleau2 and Gustavo Turecki1,4* Abstract Background: The Synapsins (SYN1, SYN2, and SYN3) are important players in the adult brain, given their involvement in synaptic transmission and plasticity, as well as in the developing brain through roles in axon outgrowth and synaptogenesis. We and others previously reported gene expression dysregulation, both as increases and decreases, of Synapsins in mood disorders, but little is known about the regulatory mechanisms leading to these differences. Thus, we proposed to study DNA methylation at theses genes’ promoter regions, under the assumption that altered epigenetic marks at key regulatory sites would be the cause of gene expression changes and thus part of the mood disorder etiology. Methods: We performed CpG methylation mapping focusing on the three genes’ predicted CpG islands using the Sequenom EpiTYPER platform. DNA extracted from post-mortem brain tissue (BA10) from individuals who had lived with bipolar disorder (BD), major depressive disorder (MDD), as well as psychiatrically healthy individuals was used. Differences in methylation across all CpGs within a CpG island and between the three diagnostic groups were assessed by 2-way mixed model analyses of variance. Results: We found no significant results for SYN1 or SYN3, but there was a significant group difference in SYN2 methylation, as well as an overall pattern of hypomethylation across the CpG island.

Proteome Dynamics During Homeostatic Scaling in Cultured
RESEARCH ADVANCE Proteome dynamics during homeostatic scaling in cultured neurons Aline Ricarda Do¨ rrbaum1,2, Beatriz Alvarez-Castelao1, Belquis Nassim-Assir1, Julian D Langer1,3*, Erin M Schuman1* 1Max Planck Institute for Brain Research, Frankfurt, Germany; 2Goethe University Frankfurt, Faculty of Biological Sciences, Frankfurt, Germany; 3Max Planck Institute of Biophysics, Frankfurt, Germany Abstract Protein turnover, the net result of protein synthesis and degradation, enables cells to remodel their proteomes in response to internal and external cues. Previously, we analyzed protein turnover rates in cultured brain cells under basal neuronal activity and found that protein turnover is influenced by subcellular localization, protein function, complex association, cell type of origin, and by the cellular environment (Do¨ rrbaum et al., 2018). Here, we advanced our experimental approach to quantify changes in protein synthesis and degradation, as well as the resulting changes in protein turnover or abundance in rat primary hippocampal cultures during homeostatic scaling. Our data demonstrate that a large fraction of the neuronal proteome shows changes in protein synthesis and/or degradation during homeostatic up- and down-scaling.

The reports family includes three known proteins: D-synuclein, E-synuclein, and J-synuclein. All synucleins have in D common a highly conserved -helical lipid-binding motif with similarity to the class-A2 lipid-binding domains of the exchangeable apolipoproteins. Synuclein family members are not found outside vertebrates, although they have some conserved structural similarity with plant ‘late-embryo- abundant’ proteins. The D- and E-synuclein proteins are found primarily in brain tissue, where they are seen mainly in presynaptic terminals.

Abstract Investigating the Role of Syn3 In
ABSTRACT INVESTIGATING THE ROLE OF SYN3 IN CHLOROPLASTS by Ramja Sritharan Cohesins play a significant role in chromosome segregation during mitosis and meiosis. However, cohesion-involved proteins have never been characterized in organelles like chloroplasts. In this study, we investigated the subcellular localization and function of an Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) SYN3 protein. SYN3 is an Arabidopsis α-kleisin that is essential for megagametogenesis and is enriched in the nucleolus of mitotic and meiotic cells. Previous work has established the role of α-kleisins, including SYN3, in the nucleus; however, α-kleisins have not been shown to be localized to the organelles. SYN3 protein was found to interact with the FtsZ through yeast two-hybrid screening. FtsZ is essential for chloroplast division. To that end, we generated transgenic Arabidopsis plants that over-expressed SYN3 proteins fused to yellow fluorescent protein (YFP). SYN3 was found to be localized to the thylakoids in chloroplasts isolated from Arabidopsis. Over-expression of SYN3-YFP resulted in stunted growth, abnormal phenotype with significantly reduced chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll content of plants. Further, our results show that over-expression of SYN3-YFP may have effects on chloroplast division.
