Available data suggest that most symptoms are controlled by haploinsufficiency of two or more 16p11.2 genes. To identify interacting 16p11.2 genes, we used a pairwise partial loss of function antisense screen for embryonic brain morphology, using the accessible zebrafish model. fam57ba, encoding a ceramide synthase, was identified as interacting with the doc2a gene, encoding a calcium-sensitive exocytosis regulator, a ge- netic interaction not previously described. Using genetic mutants, we demonstrated that doc2aþ/À fam57baþ/À double heterozy- gotes show hyperactivity and increased seizure susceptibility relative to wild-type or single doc2aÀ/À or fam57baÀ/À mutants. Additionally, doc2aþ/À fam57baþ/À double heterozygotes demonstrate the increased body length and head size. Single doc2aþ/À and fam57baþ/À heterozygotes do not show a body size increase; however, fam57baÀ/À homozygous mutants show a strongly increased head size and body length, suggesting a greater contribution from fam57ba to the haploinsufficient interaction be- tween doc2a and fam57ba. The doc2aþ/À fam57baþ/À interaction has not been reported before, nor has any 16p11.2 gene previ- ously been linked to increased body size. These findings demonstrate that one pair of 16p11.2 homologs can regulate both brain and body phenotypes that are reflective of those in people with 16p11.2 deletion. Together, these findings suggest that dysregulation of ceramide pathways and calcium sensitive exocytosis underlies seizures and large body size associated with 16p11.2 homologs in zebrafish. The data inform consideration of mechanisms underlying human 16p11.2 deletion symptoms.

Other mouse studies on 16p11.2 homologs have deleted the entire syntenic interval, and therefore do not address single gene activity (30–32). After com- plete loss-of-function (LOF) in single genes using antisense techniques, we previously found that 22 of 25 homologs were active during early zebrafish development, but only two (aldoaa and kif22) showed haploinsufficient effects on early brain mor- phology (33). A small 16p11.2 screen in Drosophila found that a homolog for KIF22 mediated axonal branching patterns (34).

Several recurrent copy number variations have been described recently in chromosome 16p. 16p11.2 rearrangements (29.5–30.1 Mb) are associated with autism, intellectual disability (ID) and other neurodevelopmental disorders. Another recognizable but less common microdeletion syndrome in 16p11.2p12.2 (21.4 to 28.5–30.1 Mb) has been described in six individuals with ID, whereas apparently reciprocal duplications, studied by standard cytogenetic and fluorescence in situ hybridization techniques, have been reported in three patients with autism spectrum disorders. Here, we report a multiplex family with three boys affected with autism, including two monozygotic twins carrying a de novo 16p11.2p12.2 duplication of 8.95 Mb (21.28–30.23 Mb) characterized by single-nucleotide polymorphism array, encompassing both the 16p11.2 and 16p11.2p12.2 regions. The twins exhibited autism, severe ID, and dysmorphic features, including a triangular face, deep-set eyes, large and prominent nasal bridge, and tall, slender build. The eldest brother presented with autism, mild ID, early-onset obesity and normal craniofacial features, and carried a smaller, overlapping 16p11.2 microdeletion of 847 kb (28.40–29.25 Mb), inherited from his apparently healthy father.

  • Associated 16P11.2 Deletion in Drosophila Melanogaster

Rolls1, Arjun Krishnan6,7 & 1234567890():,; Santhosh Girirajan 1,2,8 As opposed to syndromic CNVs caused by single genes, extensive phenotypic heterogeneity in variably-expressive CNVs complicates disease gene discovery and functional evaluation. Here, we propose a complex interaction model for pathogenicity of the autism-associated 16p11.2 deletion, where CNV genes interact with each other in conserved pathways to modulate expression of the phenotype. Using multiple quantitative methods in Drosophila RNAi lines, we identify a range of neurodevelopmental phenotypes for knockdown of indi- vidual 16p11.2 homologs in different tissues. We test 565 pairwise knockdowns in the developing eye, and identify 24 interactions between pairs of 16p11.2 homologs and 46 interactions between 16p11.2 homologs and neurodevelopmental genes that suppress or enhance cell proliferation phenotypes compared to one-hit knockdowns. These interac- tions within cell proliferation pathways are also enriched in a human brain-specific network, providing translational relevance in humans. Our study indicates a role for pervasive genetic interactions within CNVs towards cellular and developmental phenotypes. 1 Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA. 2 Bioinformatics and Genomics Program, The Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA.

  • Exploring the Relationship Between Gut Microbiota and Major Depressive Disorders

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a psychiatric disorder accompanied with a high rate of suicide, morbidity and mortality. With the symptom of an increasing or decreasing appetite, there is a possibility that MDD may have certain connections with gut microbiota, the colonies of microbes which reside in the human digestive system. In recent years, more and more studies started to demonstrate the links between MDD and gut microbiota from animal disease models and human metabolism studies. However, this relationship is still largely understudied, but it is very innovative since functional dissection of this relationship would furnish a new train of thought for more effective treatment of MDD. In this study, by using multiple genetic analytic tools including Allen Brain Atlas, genetic function analytical tools, and MicrobiomeAnalyst, I explored the genes that shows both expression in the brain and the digestive system to affirm that there is a connection between gut microbiota and the MDD. My approach finally identified 7 MDD genes likely to be associated with gut microbiota, implicating 3 molecular pathways: (1) Wnt Signaling, (2) citric acid cycle in the aerobic respiration, and (3) extracellular exosome signaling. These findings may shed light on new directions to understand the mechanism of MDD, potentially facilitating the development of probiotics for better psychiatric disorder treatment. 1 Introduction 1.1 Major Depressive Disorder Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a mood disorder that will affect the mood, behavior and other physical parts.

Current understanding of TRN neurobiology has been limited due to the lack of a comprehensive survey of TRN heterogeneity. In this thesis, I developed an integrative computational framework to analyze the single-nucleus RNA sequencing data of mouse TRN in a data-driven manner. By combining transcriptomic, genetic, and functional proteomic data, I discovered novel insights into the molecular mecha- nisms through which TRN regulates sensory gating, and suggested targeted follow-up experiments to validate these findings.

  • Mechanisms of Membrane Fusion: Disparate Players and Common Principles
    REVIEWS Mechanisms of membrane fusion: disparate players and common principles Sascha Martens and Harvey T. McMahon Abstract | Membrane fusion can occur between cells, between different intracellular compartments, between intracellular compartments and the plasma membrane and between lipid-bound structures such as viral particles and cellular membranes. In order for membranes to fuse they must first be brought together. The more highly curved a membrane is, the more fusogenic it becomes. We discuss how proteins, including SNAREs, synaptotagmins and viral fusion proteins, might mediate close membrane apposition and induction of membrane curvature to drive diverse fusion processes. We also highlight common principles that can be derived from the analysis of the role of these proteins. Syncytium Membrane fusion is the process whereby two separate membrane–membrane proximity, by bending and A cell that contains multiple lipid bilayers merge to become one.

We examined the causes of expression differences, and in their linkage to sequence variants, functional differences, and ocular pathophysiology. Methods: mRNAs from young adult eyes were hybridized to oligomer microarrays (Affymetrix M430v2). Data were embedded in GeneNetwork with millions of single nucleotide polymorphisms, custom array annotation, and information on complementary cellular, functional, and behavioral traits. The data include male and female samples from 28 common strains, 68 BXD recombinant inbred lines, as well as several mutants and knockouts. Results: We provide a fully integrated resource to map, graph, analyze, and test causes and correlations of differences in gene expression in the eye. Covariance in mRNA expression can be used to infer gene function, extract signatures for different cells or tissues, to define molecular networks, and to map quantitative trait loci that produce expression differences.

  • P2 Binding Modes of the C2 Domains of Rabphilin 3A and Synaptotagmin 1
    2+ Structural insights into the Ca and PI(4,5)P2 binding modes of the C2 domains of rabphilin 3A and synaptotagmin 1 Jaime Guilléna, Cristina Ferrer-Ortab, Mònica Buxaderasb, Dolores Pérez-Sáncheza, Marta Guerrero-Valeroa, Ginés Luengo-Gila, Joan Pousb,c, Pablo Guerrab, Juan C.

Brunger, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, and approved November 14, 2013 (received for review August 27, 2013) 2+ 2+ Proteins containing C2 domains are the sensors for Ca and PI about how Ca and PI(4,5)P2 combine to orchestrate the vesicle (4,5)P2 in a myriad of secretory pathways. Here, the use of a free- fusion and repriming processes by acting through the two C2 mounting system has enabled us to capture an intermediate state domains existing in each of these proteins (16, 20, 22, 24–28). A + of Ca2 binding to the C2A domain of rabphilin 3A that suggests myriad of works have explored the 3D structure of the individual a different mechanism of ion interaction. We have also deter- C2 domains of both synaptotagmins and rabphilin 3A (5, 26, 27, mined the structure of this domain in complex with PI(4,5)P2 and 29, 30).
