LIS1 is one of the genes that has a principle role in brain development since hemizygote mutations in LIS1 result in a severe brain malformation known as lissencephaly ('smooth brain'). LIS1 is a WD repeat protein and is known to be involved in several protein complexes that are likely to play a functional role in brain development. We discuss here the

LIS1 controls mitosis and mitotic spindle organization via the LIS1–NDEL1–dynein complex [PDF]
Heterozygous LIS1 mutations are responsible for the human neuronal migration disorder lissencephaly. Mitotic functions of LIS1 have been suggested from many organisms throughout evolution. However, the cellular functions of LIS1 at distinct intracellular compartments such as the centrosome and the cell cortex have not been well defined especially ...

NudC-like protein 2 regulates the LIS1/dynein pathway by stabilizing LIS1 with Hsp90 [PDF]
The type I lissencephaly gene product LIS1, a key regulator of cytoplasmic dynein, is critical for cell proliferation, survival, and neuronal migration. However, little is known about the regulation of LIS1. Here, we identify a previously uncharacterized mammalian homolog of Aspergillus NudC, NudCL2 (NudC-like ...

Lis1 is an initiation factor for dynein-driven organelle transport [PDF]
The molecular motor cytoplasmic dynein is responsible for most minus-end–directed, microtubule-based transport in eukaryotic cells. It is especially important in neurons, where defects in microtubule-based motility have been linked to neurological ...

Activation of RhoC by regulatory ubiquitination is mediated by LNX1 and suppressed by LIS1
Regulation of Rho GTPases remains a topic of active investigation as they are essential participants in cell biology and the pathophysiology of many human diseases.

LIS1 Clamps Dynein to the Microtubule [PDF]
Cytoplasmic dynein is a motor essential for numerous mechanical processes in eukaryotic cells. How its activity is regulated is largely unknown. By using a combination of approaches including single-molecule biophysics and electron microscopy, Huang et al. in this issue uncover the regulatory mechanism by which LIS1 controls the activity of cytoplasmic

Inhibition of PP2A by LIS1 increases HIV-1 gene expression
Background Lissencephaly is a severe brain malformation in part caused by mutations in the LIS1 gene. LIS1 interacts with microtubule-associated proteins, and enhances transport of microtubule fragments.

Three-dimensional regulation of radial glial functions by Lis1-Nde1 and dystrophin glycoprotein complexes. [PDF]
Radial glial cells (RGCs) are distinctive neural stem cells with an extraordinary slender bipolar morphology and dual functions as precursors and migration scaffolds for cortical neurons.

The ability to proliferate is a common feature of most T-cell populations. However, proliferation follows different cell-cycle dynamics and is coupled to different functional outcomes according to T-cell subsets.
