Spliceosome malfunction causes neurodevelopmental disorders with overlapping features

ABSTRACT: Pre-mRNA splicing is a highly coordinated process. While its dysregulation has been linked to neurological deficits, our understanding of the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms remains limited. We implicated pathogenic variants in U2AF2 and PRPF19, encoding spliceosome subunits in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), by identifying 46 unrelated individuals with 23 de novo U2AF2 missense variants (including 7 recurrent variants in 30 individuals) and 6 individuals with de novo PRPF19 variants. Eight U2AF2 variants dysregulated splicing of a model substrate. Neuritogenesis was reduced in human neurons differentiated from human pluripotent stem cells carrying two U2AF2 hyper-recurrent variants. Neural loss of function (LoF) of the Drosophila orthologs U2af50 and Prp19 led to lethality, abnormal mushroom body (MB) patterning, and social deficits, which were differentially rescued by wild-type and mutant U2AF2 or PRPF19. Transcriptome profiling revealed splicing substrates or effectors (including Rbfox1, a third splicing factor), which rescued MB defects in U2af50-deficient flies. Upon reanalysis of negative clinical exomes followed by data sharing, we further identified 6 patients with NDD who carried RBFOX1 missense variants which, by in vitro testing, showed LoF. Our study implicates 3 splicing factors as NDD-causative genes and establishes a genetic network with hierarchy underlying human brain development and function.

Spliceosome malfunction causes neurodevelopmental disorders with overlapping features (fly)

Mutation-specific pathophysiological mechanisms of AFF3 differently influence transcriptome profiles

Project description:We previously described the KINSSHIP syndrome, an autosomal dominant disorder associated with de novo variants in the AFF3 degron , a sequence involved in its binding to ubiquitin ligase. Mouse knock-ins and overexpression in zebrafish provided evidence for a dominant-negative (DN) mode-of-action, wherein an increased level of AFF3 resulted in pathological effects. In line with this hypothesis, we describe an individual presenting a KINSSHIP-like phenotype carrying a partial duplication of AFF3. Further screening of intellectual disability cohorts revealed nine individuals with heterozygous and three with homozygous loss-of-function (LoF) variants, as well as two probands with compound LoF/missense and six with biallelic missense mutations in AFF3, who displayed a milder syndrome. Matching zebrafish knockdowns exhibit neurological defects that could be rescued by expressing human AFF3 mRNA confirming their association with the ablation of aff3. Conversely, the missense isoforms did not complement demonstrating the deleteriousness of the variants identified in affected individuals. To assess the different effect of these variants, we profiled the transcriptome of fibroblasts of affected individuals and isogenic cells harboring DN/DN, LoF/+, LoF/LoF or DN/LoF AFF3 genotypes. While the same pathways are affected, only one-third of the differentially expressed genes are common to both homozygote datasets, indicating that AFF3 LoF and DN mutations largely modulate transcriptomes differently. In particular, the apical junction and DNA repair pathways displayed opposite modulation. Our results and the high pleiotropy shown by this locus in GWASes suggest that even slight changes in the AFF3 function might be deleterious.

Gain and loss of function variants in EZH1 disrupt neurogenesis and cause dominant and recessive neurodevelopmental disorders [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Genetic disruption of chromatin regulators is frequently found in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). While chromatin regulators are attractive therapeutic targets, studies to determine their implication in the etiology of NDDs are limited, preventing advances in diagnosis and treatment strategies. Here, we uncover pathogenic variants in the chromatin modifier Enhancer of Zeste Homologue 1 (EZH1) as the cause of overlapping dominant and recessive NDDs in 19 individuals. EZH1 encodes one of the two alternative histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27) methyltransferases of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2). Unlike the other PRC2 subunits, which are associated with the pathogenesis of human cancers and developmental disorders with overgrowth, the implication of EZH1 in human development and disease is largely unknown. Using cellular models and biochemical studies, we demonstrate that EZH1 variants identified in our study alter EZH1 molecularly. While recessive variants are EZH1 loss of function (LOF) variants that impair EZH1 expression, dominant variants are all missense mutations that affect evolutionarily conserved aminoacids likely impacting EZH1 structure or function. Accordingly, we found increased H3K27 methyltransferase activity for two EZH1 missense variants we tested, thus generating EZH1 gain of function (GOF) variants. Furthermore, we show that EZH1 is necessary and sufficient to differentiate neural stem cells in the developing chick embryo neural tube. Finally, using human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived neural cultures and forebrain organoids, we demonstrate that EZH1 LOF and GOF variation perturbs cortical projection neuron differentiation. Our work identifies EZH1 LOF and GOF variants as the genetic basis of previously undefined recessives and dominant NDDs and uncovers an essential role of EZH1 in regulating neurogenesis.

Expression and alternative splicing data from 1-month-old Rbfox1 KO brain

Project description:Rbfox1 regulates the alternative splicing of many transcripts in neurons. We have characterized the Rbfox1-dependent changes in expression and alternative splicing by comparing Rbfox1-KO brain to WT brain. In this dataset, we include the splicing and expression data obtained from dissected WT and Rbfox1 KO mouse brains. 6 total samples were analyzed: brains from 3 WT male mice and 3 Rbfox1 KO male mice, all 1 month of age.

Massively parallel functional testing of MSH2 missense variants conferring Lynch Syndrome risk

Project description:We performed a massively parallel screen in human HAP1 cells to identify loss-of-function missense variants in the key DNA mismatch repair factor MSH2. Resulting variant loss-of-function (LOF) scores are strongly concordant with previous functional evidence and available variant classification.

Transcriptional consequences of wild-type and missense mutant p53 in isogenic human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines

Project description:TP53, encoding for the tumor suppressor p53, is the most frequently mutated gene in human cancer. The selective pressures shaping its mutational spectrum, dominated by missense mutations, have remained enigmatic, and neomorphic gain-of-function (GOF) activities have been implicated. We generated isogenic human leukemia cell lines of the most common TP53 missense mutations using CRISPR/Cas9. Functional, DNA binding, and transcriptional analyses revealed loss-of-function (LOF) without GOF effects of missense mutations. Comprehensive mutational scanning of p53 single amino acid variants demonstrated that DNA-binding domain missense variants exert dominant-negative effects (DNE). In mice, DNE of p53 missense variants confer a selective advantage on hematopoietic cells upon DNA damage in vivo. Clinical outcomes in acute myeloid leukemia patients showed no evidence of GOF for TP53 missense mutations. These findings establish dominant-negativity as the primary unit of selection for TP53 missense mutations in myeloid malignancies.
