Loss-of-function of IKAP/ELP1 [PDF]
Familial dysautonomia (FD) is a hereditary neuronal disease characterized by poor development and progressive degeneration of the sensory and autonomic nervous system. Majority of FD (99.5%) results from a single nucleotide point mutation in the IKBKAP gene encoding IKAP, also known as elongation protein 1 (ELP1).

Exploration of the binding determinants of protein phosphatase 5 (PP5) reveals a chaperone-independent activation mechanism. [PDF]
The protein phosphatase 5 (PP5) is normally recruited to its substrates by the molecular chaperones, heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) and heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90).

ELP1 Splicing Correction Reverses Proprioceptive Sensory Loss in Familial Dysautonomia [PDF]
Familial dysautonomia (FD) is a recessive neurodegenerative disease caused by a splice mutation in Elongator complex protein 1 (ELP1, also known as IKBKAP); this mutation leads to variable skipping of exon 20 and to a drastic reduction of ELP1 in the nervous system.

Metabolic Deficits in the Retina of a Familial Dysautonomia Mouse Model [PDF]
Neurodegenerative retinal diseases such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON), and dominant optic atrophy (DOA) are marked by progressive death of retinal ganglion cells (RGC).

Immunohistochemistry as a tool to identify ELP1-associated medulloblastoma [PDF]
Abstract Pediatric spinal low-grade glioma (LGG) and glioneuronal tumours are rare, accounting for less 2.8–5.2% of pediatric LGG. New tumour types frequently found in spinal location such as diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumours (DLGNT) have been added to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumours of the central nervous system

The Alteration of Proteomic Profiles in Hippocampus of Type 2 Diabetic Mice Associated With Cognitive Impairment [PDF]
Clinical and experimental studies have demonstrated that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) affects the brain structure and function, in particular the hippocampus, leading to cognitive impairments.

Perspectives on the implications of carrying putative pathogenic variants in the medulloblastoma predisposition genes ELP1 and GPR161 [PDF]
Abstract Recent genetic sequencing studies in large series’ of predominantly childhood medulloblastoma have implicated loss-of-function, predominantly truncating, variants in the ELP1 and GPR161 genes in causation of the MB

Development of a Screening Platform to Identify Small Molecules That Modify ELP1 Pre-mRNA Splicing in Familial Dysautonomia [PDF]
Familial dysautonomia (FD) is an autonomic and sensory neuropathy caused by a mutation in the splice donor site of intron 20 of the ELP1 gene. Variable skipping of exon 20 leads to a tissue-specific reduction in the level of ELP1 protein. We have shown that the plant cytokinin kinetin is able to increase cellular ELP1 protein levels in vivo and in ...

(H)Elping nerve growth factor: Elp1 inhibits TrkA’s phosphatase to maintain retrograde signaling [PDF]
Nerve growth factor (NGF) regulates many aspects of neuronal biology by retrogradely propagating signals along axons to the targets of those axons. How this occurs when axons contain a plethora of proteins that can silence those signals has long perplexed the neurotrophin field. In this issue of the JCI, Li et al.
