Differential Effects of LIS1 On Processive Dynein-Dynactin Motility
Cytoplasmic dynein is the primary minus-end directed microtubule motor protein in cells. LIS1 is a highly conserved dynein regulatory factor that binds directly to the dynein motor domain, uncoupling the enzymatic and mechanical cycles of the motor, and ...

Background Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are key regulators of the 6-methyladenosine (m6A) epigenetic modification, playing a role in the initiation and progression of tumors.

LIS1 and DCX: Implications for Brain Development and Human Disease in Relation to Microtubules
Proper lamination of the cerebral cortex requires the orchestrated motility of neurons from their place of birth to their final destination. Improper neuronal migration may result in a wide range of diseases, including brain malformations, such as ...

Interaction between LIS1 and PDE4, and its role in cytoplasmic dynein function
LIS1, a WD40 repeat scaffold protein, interacts with components of the cytoplasmic dynein motor complex to regulate dynein-dependent cell motility. Here, we reveal that cAMP-specific phosphodiesterases (PDE4s) directly bind PAFAH1B1 (also known as LIS1).

Correct neuronal migration and positioning during cortical development are essential for proper brain function. Mutations of the LIS1 gene result in human lissencephaly (smooth brain), which features misplaced cortical neurons and disarrayed cerebral ...

Lis1 and doublecortin function with dynein to mediate coupling of the nucleus to the centrosome in neuronal migration [PDF]
Humans with mutations in either DCX or LIS1 display nearly identical neuronal migration defects, known as lissencephaly. To define subcellular mechanisms, we have combined in vitro neuronal migration assays with retroviral transduction. Overexpression of

A role for the lissencephaly gene LIS1 in mitosis and cytoplasmic dynein function
Mutations in the LIS1 gene cause gross histological disorganization of the developing human brain, resulting in a brain surface that is almost smooth.
