MAU2 and NIPBL variants in Cornelia de Lange syndrome reveal MAU2-independent loading of cohesin and uncover protective mechanisms against early truncating mutations in NIPBL
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: For its association with chromatin, the cohesin complex depends on a heterodimer formed by NIPBL and MAU2. Variants in NIPBL are the main cause of CdLS and result in NIPBL haploinsufficiency. Using CRISPR, we generated cells homozygous for an out-of-frame duplication in NIPBL. Remarkably, alternative translation initiation rescued NIPBL expression in these cells and produced an N-terminally truncated NIPBL that lacks MAU2-interaction domain, causing a dramatic reduction of MAU2 protein levels while a lot of NIPBL functions remain intact.
