Nuclear access of DNlg3 c-terminal fragment and its function in regulating innate immune response genes

ABSTRACT: Neuroligins (NLGNs) are one of the autism susceptibility genes, however, the mechanism that how dysfunction of NLGNs leads to Autism remains unclear. More and more studies have shown that the transcriptome alteration may be one of the important factors to generate Autism. Therefore, we are very concerned about whether Neuroligins would affect transcriptional regulation, which may at last lead to Autism. As a single-transmembrane receptor, proteolytic cleavage is one of the most important posttranslational modifications of NLGN proteins. In this study, we demonstrated the existence of DNlg3 C-terminal fragment. Studies in the S2 cells and 293T cells showed the evidence for nuclear access of the DNlg3 C-terminal fragment. Then we identified the possible targets of DNlg3 C-terminal fragment after its nuclear access by RNA-seq. The bioinformatics analysis indicated the transcriptome alteration between dnlg3 null flies and wild type flies focused on genes for the innate immune responses. These results were consistent with the infection hypotheses for autism. Our study revealed the nuclear access ability of DNlg3 c-terminal fragment and its possible function in transcriptional regulation of the innate immune response genes. This work provides the new links between synaptic adhesion molecule NLGNs and immune activation, which may help us to get a deeper understanding on the relationship between NLGNs and Autism.

Neuroligin 2 Governs Synaptic Morphology and Function Through RACK1-Cofilin Signaling in Drosophila

Project description:Neuroligins are transmembrane cell adhesion proteins well-known for their genetic links to autism spectrum disorders. Neuroligins can function by regulating the actin cytoskeleton, however the factors and mechanisms involved are still largely unknown. Here, using the Drosophila neuromuscular junction as a model, we reveal that F-Actin assembly at the Drosophila NMJ is controlled through Cofilin signaling mediated by an interaction between DNlg2 and RACK1, factors not previously known to work together. The deletion of DNlg2 displays disrupted RACK1-Cofilin signaling pathway with diminished actin cytoskeleton proteo-stasis at the terminal of the NMJ, aberrant NMJ structure, reduced synaptic transmission, and abnormal locomotion at the third-instar larval stage. Overexpression of wildtype and activated Cofilin in muscles are sufficient to rescue the morphological and physiological defects in dnlg2 mutants, while inactivated Cofilin is not. Since the DNlg2 paralog DNlg1 is known to regulate F-actin assembly mainly via a specific interaction with WAVE complex, our present work suggests that the orchestration of F-actin by Neuroligins is a highly dynamic and complex process critical for neural connectivity.

A Specific Neuroligin3-αNeurexin1Signaling Regulates GABAergic Synaptic Function in Mouse Hippocampus

Project description:Synapses are fundamental organizers of precise signal propagation between neurons. Maintaining synapse assemblies require interactions between pre- and post- synaptic proteins, notably cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). It has been proposed that the function of Neuroligins (Nlgn1 - 4), postsynaptic CAMs, relies on the formation of trans-synaptic complexes with Neurexins (Nrxs), presynaptic CAMs. Nlgn3 is a unique Nlgn isoform that localizes at both excitatory and inhibitory synapses. However, Nlgn3 function mediated through Nrx interaction is mostly unknown. Here, we find for the first time that Nlgn3 localizes at postsynaptic sites apposing vesicular glutamate transporter 3 (VGT3)-expressing inhibitory terminals. Overexpression and knockdown approaches indicate that Nlgn3 regulates VGT3-positive inhibitory interneuron-mediated synaptic transmission. Fluorescent in situ hybridization and single-cell RNA sequencing studies revealed that αNrxn1 and βNrxn3 are VGT3 interneuron-specific Nrxn isoforms and the expression levels of Nrxn splice isoforms are highly diverse in VGT3 interneurons, respectively. Most importantly, postsynaptic Nlgn3 requires presynaptic αNrx1+AS4 expressed in VGT3-positive interneurons to regulate inhibitory synaptic transmission. Our results strongly suggest that specific Nlgn-Nrx interaction generate distinct functional properties at synapses.

Neuroligin 3 Splice Isoforms Shape Mouse Hippocampal Inhibitory Synaptic Function

Project description:Synapse formation is a dynamic process essential for neuronal circuit development and maturation. At the synaptic cleft, trans-synaptic protein-protein interactions constitute major biological determinants of proper synapse efficacy. The balance of excitatory and inhibitory synaptic transmission (E-I balance) stabilizes synaptic activity and its dysregulation has been implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders including autism spectrum disorders. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying E-I balance remains to be elucidated. Here, we investigate Neuroligin (Nlgn) genes which encode a family of postsynaptic adhesion molecules that shape excitatory and inhibitory synaptic function. We identified that NLGN3 protein differentially regulates inhibitory synaptic transmission in a splice isoform-dependent manner in hippocampal CA1 synapses. Distinct subcellular localization patterns of NLGN3 isoforms contribute to the functional differences observed among splice variants. Finally, our single-cell sequencing analysis reveals that Nlgn1 and Nlgn3 are the major Nlgn genes and that Nlgn splice isoforms are highly diverse in CA1 pyramidal neurons.

Mapping autism risk loci using genetic linkage and chromosomal rearrangements

Project description:Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are common, heritable neurodevelopmental conditions. The genetic architecture of ASD is complex, requiring large samples to overcome heterogeneity. Here we broaden coverage and sample size relative to other studies of ASD by using Affymetrix 10K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays and 1168 families with = 2 affected individuals to perform the largest linkage scan to date, while also analyzing copy number variation (CNV) in these families. Linkage and CNV analyses implicate chromosome 11p12-p13 and neurexins, respectively, amongst other candidate loci. Neurexins team with previously-implicated neuroligins for glutamatergic synaptogenesis, highlighting glutamate-related genes as promising candidates for ASD. Keywords: Autism spectrum disorder, Affymetrix SNP genotyping, linkage analysis, copy number analysis, chromosomal rearrangements.

Neuroligin-3 R451C Induces Gain-of-Function Gene Expression in Astroglia in an Astroglia-Enriched Brain Organoid Model

Project description:Astroglia are integral to brain development and the emergence of neurodevelopmental disorders. However, studying the pathophysiology of human astroglia using brain organoid models has been hindered by inefficient astrogliogenesis. In this study, we introduce a robust method for generating astroglia-enriched organoids through BMP4 treatment during the neural differentiation phase of organoid development. Our RNA sequencing analysis reveals that astroglia developed within these organoids exhibit advanced developmental characteristics and enhanced synaptic functions compared to those grown under traditional two-dimensional conditions, particularly highlighted by increased neurexin (NRXN)-neuroligin (NLGN) signaling. Cell adhesion molecules, such as NRXN and NLGN, are essential in regulating interactions between astroglia and neurons. We further discovered that brain organoids derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) harboring the autism-associated NLGN3 R451C mutation exhibit increased astrogliogenesis. Notably, the NLGN3 R451C astroglia demonstrate enhanced branching, indicating a more intricate morphology. Interestingly, our RNA sequencing data suggest that these mutant astroglia significantly upregulate pathways that support neural functions when compared to isogenic wild-type astroglia. Our findings establish a novel astroglia-enriched organoid model, offering a valuable platform for probing the roles of human astroglia in brain development and related disorders.

Cleavage of the pseudoprotease iRhom2 by the signal peptidase complex reveals an ER-to-nucleus signalling pathway

Project description:iRhoms are pseudoprotease members of the rhomboid-like superfamily and are cardinal regulators of inflammatory and growth factor signaling; they function primarily by recognizing transmembrane domains of their clients. Here, we report a mechanistically distinct nuclear function of iRhoms, showing that both human and mouse iRhom2 are non-canonical substrates of signal peptidase complex (SPC), the protease that removes signal peptides from secreted proteins. Cleavage of iRhom2 generates an N-terminal fragment that enters the nucleus and modifies the transcriptome, in part by binding C-terminal binding proteins (CtBPs). The biological significance of nuclear iRhom2 is indicated by elevated levels in skin biopsies of patients with psoriasis, tylosis with oesophageal cancer (TOC), and non-epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (NEPPK); increased iRhom2 cleavage in a keratinocyte model of psoriasis; and nuclear iRhom2 promoting proliferation of keratinocytes. Overall, this work identifies an unexpected SPC-dependent ER-to-nucleus signaling pathway and demonstrates that iRhoms can mediate nuclear signaling.
