Capturing disease severity in LIS1-lissencephaly reveals proteostasis dysregulation in patient-derived forebrain organoids [PDF]
LIS1-lissencephaly is a neurodevelopmental disorder marked by reduced cortical folding and severe neurological impairment. Although all cases result from heterozygous mutations in the LIS1 gene, patients present a broad spectrum of severity. Here, we use

A LisH-domain protein interaction map reveals a Lis1-ARIH2-dynein regulatory axis [PDF]
Summary: LisH-domain-containing proteins are involved in diverse cellular processes and disease mechanisms, yet their functional interaction landscape remains poorly characterized.

Structural and ensemble-based mechanistic insights into cytoplasmic dynein-1 [PDF]
Cytoplasmic dynein-1 is a multi-subunit motor that transports diverse cargoes toward microtubule minus-ends, playing crucial roles in intracellular organisation and cell division.

MiR-380 inhibits the proliferation and invasion of cholangiocarcinoma cells by silencing LIS1 [PDF]
Background The objective of this study was to determine the role and regulatory mechanism of miR-380 in cholangiocarcinoma. Methods The TargetScan database and a dual-luciferase reporter assay system were used to determine if LIS1 was a target gene of ...

Selective Lis1 inactivation disrupts migration and positioning of cortical somatostatin interneurons [PDF]
One subtype of interneurons, classified by their neurochemical properties, are somatostatin-positive (SST+) interneurons, which express somatostatin along with GABA and form synapses with both pyramidal neurons and other interneurons.

LncRNA RASAL2-AS1 promotes METTL14-mediated m6A methylation in the proliferation and progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma [PDF]
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.

Lissencephaly-1 (LIS1) is associated with neurodevelopmental diseases and is known to regulate the molecular motor cytoplasmic dynein activity. Here we show that LIS1 is essential for the viability of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), and it governs ...

LIS1 and NDEL1 Regulate Axonal Trafficking of Mitochondria in Mature Neurons
Defective mitochondrial dynamics in axons have been linked to both developmental and late-onset neurological disorders. Axonal trafficking is in large part governed by the microtubule motors kinesin-1 and cytoplasmic dynein 1 (dynein).
