Heterozygous loss of human PAFAH1B1 (coding for LIS1) results in the disruption of neurogenesis and neuronal migration via dysregulation of microtubule (MT) stability and dynein motor function/localization that alters mitotic spindle orientation ...

LIS1 (PAFAH1B1) plays a major role in the developing cerebral cortex, and haploinsufficient mutations cause human lissencephaly type 1. We have studied morphological and functional properties of the cerebral cortex of mutant mice harboring a deletion in ...

LIS1 and Spindle Orientation in Neuroepithelial Cells [PDF]
Asymmetric stem cell division is thought to require precise orientation of the mitotic spindle. However, a recent study in Cell (Yingling et al., 2008) analyzes the role of LIS1 in the developing mouse brain and shows that spindle orientation is more important during early, symmetric progenitor cell divisions than for later asymmetric divisions.

Global developmental gene expression and pathway analysis of normal brain development and mouse models of human neuronal migration defects. [PDF]
Heterozygous LIS1 mutations are the most common cause of human lissencephaly, a human neuronal migration defect, and DCX mutations are the most common cause of X-linked lissencephaly.

A developmental and genetic classification for malformations of cortical development: update 2012. [PDF]
Malformations of cerebral cortical development include a wide range of developmental disorders that are common causes of neurodevelopmental delay and epilepsy. In addition, study of these disorders contributes greatly to the understanding of normal brain

Developmental downregulation of LIS1 expression limits axonal extension and allows axon pruning
The robust axonal growth and regenerative capacities of young neurons decrease substantially with age. This developmental downregulation of axonal growth may facilitate axonal pruning and neural circuit formation but limits functional recovery following ...

Locomotor hyperactivity in 14-3-3Zeta KO mice is associated with dopamine transporter dysfunction [PDF]
Dopamine (DA) neurotransmission requires a complex series of enzymatic reactions that are tightly linked to catecholamine exocytosis and receptor interactions on pre- and postsynaptic neurons.

Targeted mutagenesis of Lis1 disrupts cortical development and LIS1 homodimerization [PDF]
Lissencephaly is a severe brain malformation in humans. To study the function of the gene mutated in lissencephaly ( LIS1 ), we deleted the first coding exon from the mouse Lis1 gene. The deletion resulted in a shorter protein (sLIS1) that initiates from the second methionine, a unique ...
