Project description:Neurexins are key synaptic organizers which exist in thousands of alternatively spliced isoforms. Because trans-synaptic neurexin interactions with different post-synaptic molecules are largely isoform dependent, a cell type-level census of different neurexin isoforms could predict molecular interactions relating to synapse identity and function. Using single-cell transcriptomics to study the origin of neurexin diversity in multiple murine hippocampal and cortical cell types, we have discovered shared expression patterns in developmentally-related cell types. By comparing neurexin profiles in immature embryonic neurons, we show that neurexin profiles are specified during early development and remain unchanged throughout neuronal maturation. In contrast to this, we find that expression of other cell-adhesion molecules is modulated throughout circuit maturation. Thus, our findings reveal that ontogenetic stability of neurexin expression is unique among the broader landscape of cell-adhesion molecules, whose coordinated expression progressively governs the emergence of cell type identity.

Project description:Chromatin structure affects DNA replication patterns, but the role of specific chromatin modifiers in regulating the replication process is yet unclear. We report that phosphorylation of the human SIRT1 deacetylase on Threonine 530 (T530-pSIRT1) modulates DNA synthesis. T530-pSIRT1 associates with replication origins and inhibits replication from a group of ÒdormantÓ potential replication origins, which initiate replication only when cells are subject to replication stress. Although both active and dormant origins bind T530-pSIRT1, active origins are distinguished from dormant origins by their unique association with an open chromatin mark, histone H3 methylated on lysine 4. SIRT1 phosphorylation also facilitates leading and lagging strand coordination. SIRT1 T530 phosphorylation is essential to prevent DNA breakage upon replication stress and cells harboring SIRT1 that cannot be phosphorylated exhibit a high prevalence of extrachromosomal elements, hallmarks of perturbed replication. These observations suggest that SIRT1 phosphorylation modulates the distribution of replication initiation events to insure genomic stability.

Project description:Parallels between phylogeny and ontogeny have been discussed since almost two centuries and a number of theories have been proposed to explain such patterns. Especially elusive is the so-called phylotypic stage, a phase during development where species within a phylum are particularly similar to each other. While this has formerly been interpreted as a recapitulation of phylogeny, it is nowadays thought to reflect an ontogenetic progression phase, where strong constraints on developmental regulation and gene interactions exist. Several studies have shown that genes expressed during this stage evolve slower, but it has so far not been possible to derive an unequivocal molecular signature associated with this stage. We use here a combination of phylostratigraphy and stage specific gene expression data to generate a cumulative index that reflects the evolutionary age of the transcriptome at given ontogenetic stages. Using zebrafish ontogeny and adult development as a model, we find that the phylotypic stage does indeed express the oldest transcriptome set and that younger sets are expressed during early and late development, thus faithfully mirroring the hourglass model of morphological divergence. Reproductively active animals show the youngest transcriptome, with major differences between males and females. Intriguingly, aging animals express also increasingly older genes. Comparisons with similar datasets from flies and nematodes show that this pattern occurs across phyla. Our results suggest that an old transcriptome marks the phylotypic phase and that phylogenetic differences at other ontogenetic stages correlate with the expression of newly evolved genes.

Project description:Abstract Background Neurexins are proteins located in the presynaptic membrane that bind postsynaptic ligands, neuroligins, neurexophilins, and dystrophoglycan. They exert profound effects on neurological function by mediating signalling across synapses and determining synaptic characteristics through the recruitment of additional proteins for synapse formation. Alterations in neurexin-encoding genes cause cognitive disorders such as autism, developmental delay and schizophrenia. The three neurexin genes in the human genome (NRXN1, NRXN2, and NRXN3) each have two different functional promoters, producing a large (alpha) and small (beta) transcript with corresponding proteins. NRXN1 produces hundreds, perhaps thousands, of different transcripts with differential localization in the CNS. Results We report here the identification of an individual (53825) with mild dysmorphia, severe language disorder, mild intellectual disability, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and a mood disorder. Genomic analysis by Affymetrix 6.0 Gene Chip and FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) using probes specific for NRXN1 revealed a hemizygous deletion of approximately 190 Kb, which includes exons 3-5 of NRXN1. This deletion should result in the absence of the vast majority of different NRXN1 alpha transcripts from one of the NRXN1 gene copies, without effecting NRXN1 beta transcription. Copy number analysis of Affymetrix 6.0 SNP arrays was performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from cryopreserved diagnostic bone marrow or peripheral blood samples for pediatric patients. One sample showed partial deletion of NRXN1 alpha; data presented in this Series.

Project description:Diversification of cell adhesion molecules by alternative splicing is proposed to underlie molecular codes for neuronal wiring. Transcriptomic approaches mapped detailed cell type-specific mRNA splicing programs. However, it has been hard to probe synapse-specific localization and function of the resulting protein splice isoforms, or “proteoforms”, in vivo. We here apply a proteoform-centric workflow in mice to test synapse-specific functions of splice isoforms of the synaptic adhesion molecule Neurexin-3 (NRXN3). We uncover a major proteoform, NRXN3 AS5, that is highly expressed in GABAergic interneurons and dendrite-targeting GABAergic terminals. NRXN3 AS5 abundance significantly diverges from the distribution of the Nrxn3 mRNA and is gated by translation-repressive elements. Nrxn3 AS5 isoform deletion results in selective impairment of dendrite-targeting interneuron synapses in the dentate gyrus without affecting somatic inhibition or glutamatergic perforant-path synapses. This work establishes cell- and synapse-specific functions of a specific neurexin proteoform and highlights the importance of alternative splicing regulation for synapse specification.
