Complimentary vertebrate Wac models exhibit phenotypes relevant to DeSanto-Shinawi Syndrome

Project description:Monogenic syndromes are associated with neurodevelopmental changes that result in cognitive impairments, neurobehavioral phenotypes including autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and seizures. Limited studies and resources are available to make meaningful headway into the underlying molecular mechanisms that result in these symptoms. One such example is DeSanto-Shinawi Syndrome (DESSH), a rare disorder caused primarily by pathogenic variants in the WAC gene. Individuals with DESSH syndrome exhibit a recognizable craniofacial gestalt, developmental delay/intellectual disability, neurobehavioral symptoms that include autism, ADHD, behavioral difficulties and seizures. However, no thorough studies from a mammalian model exist to understand how these changes occur. To overcome this, we developed both murine and zebrafish Wac deletion mutants and studied whether their phenotypes recapitulate those described in individuals with DESSH syndrome. We show that the two Wac models exhibit craniofacial and behavioral changes, reminiscent of abnormalities found in DESSH syndrome. In addition, each model revealed impacts to GABAergic neurons and further studies showed that the mouse mutants are susceptible to seizures. These studies begin to uncover some biological underpinnings of DESSH syndrome and elucidate the biology of Wac, with advantages in each model.

Linking planar polarity signaling directly to actomyosin contractility during vertebrate neurulation

Project description:Actomyosin contractility represents an ancient feature of eukaryotic cells participating in many developmental and homeostasis events, including tissue morphogenesis, muscle contraction, and cell migration, with dysregulation implicated in various pathological conditions, such as cancer. At the molecular level, actomyosin comprises actin bundles and myosin motor proteins that are sensitive to posttranslational modifications like phosphorylation. While the molecular components of actomyosin and its regulation are well understood, the coordination of contractility by extracellular and intracellular signals, particularly from cellular signaling pathways, remains incompletely elucidated. This study focuses on planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling, previously associated with actomyosin contractility during vertebrate neurulation. Contrary to previous studies, our investigation reveals that main cytoplasmic PCP proteins, Prickle and Dishevelled, interact directly with key actomyosin components such as myosin light chain (MLC), leading to its phosphorylation and localized activation. Through relevant in vitro and in vivo models, we demonstrate that these PCP proteins function not merely passively and indirectly as previously reported, but that they actively control actomyosin contractility by acting as scaffold proteins, orchestrating the necessary machinery for contractility. These findings unveil a direct link of PCP signaling in crucial actomyosin contractility processes through MLC that are relevant to vertebrate neurulation and potentially beyond.

High-throughput functional dissection of noncoding SNPs with biased allelic enhancer activity for insulin resistance-relevant phenotypes

Project description:The majority of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with insulin resistance (IR)-relevant phenotypes by genome-wide association studies (GWASs) are located in noncoding regions, complicating their functional interpretation. Here, we utilized an adapted STARR-seq to systematically detect regulatory activity of 5,987 noncoding GWASs SNPs in three IR-relevant cell lines. We identified 876 SNPs with biased allelic enhancer activity across 133 loci, and further uncovered the genetic regulatory mechanisms underlying functional SNPs through integrating multi-omics analyses.
