We hypothesize that the TPL corepressor (and likely others) acts as a transcriptional linchpin, stabilizing a state similar yet distinct from the metazoan paused state by recruiting Mediator and other components needed to initiate and coordinate transcriptional bursts across multiple genes.

LIS1-Related Isolated Lissencephaly [PDF]
With the largest data set of patients with LIS1-related lissencephaly, the major cause of posteriorly predominant lissencephaly related to either LIS1 mutation or intragenic deletion, described so far, we aimed to refine the spectrum of neurological and radiological features and to assess relationships with the genotype.Retrospective study.

Clinical and genetic landscape of epilepsies with absence seizures and single‐gene etiology
Abstract Objective To characterize the clinical, electroencephalographic, and genetic features of epilepsies featuring absence seizures within monogenic etiology, highlighting the diagnostic, treatment and prognostic implications. Methods We conducted a retrospective, multicenter study including patients with monogenic epilepsies and ...

The Ndel1 protein is crucial for neurodevelopment, but its role in the brain peptidome is unknown. Here we compared the peptidome of Ndel1 conditional knockout (Ndel1_cKO) mice with controls (CTRL) in four brain regions. Peptides were extracted using acidic (Acetic Acid, AcOH) and organic (Methanol, MeOH) methods and analyzed by Liquid Chromatography ...

Diagnosis and treatment of occipital brain lesions in children
Occipital brain lesions in children represent a diagnostic challenge due to the large spectrum of etiologies and overlapping clinical features. This review analyses common and less common causes of occipital brain lesions in children, including malformative, vascular, genetic/metabolic, infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic conditions.

Malformations of cortical development: Embryology and epilepsy
Abstract One in seven patients with focal epilepsy has a malformation of cortical development (MCD) as underlying cause. Understanding normal cortical development combined with knowledge of where, when, and what goes wrong in different types of MCD provides insight into the mechanisms of epileptogenesis.

A role for cytoplasmic dynein and LIS1 in directed cell movement [PDF]
Cytoplasmic dynein has been implicated in numerous aspects of intracellular movement. We recently found dynein inhibitors to interfere with the reorientation of the microtubule cytoskeleton during healing of wounded NIH3T3 cell monolayers. We now find that dynein and its regulators dynactin and LIS1 localize to the leading cell cortex during this ...

Why does infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) occur with a variety of underlying conditions and why does it respond to adrenocorticotrophin hormone (ACTH)/corticosteroids? Our scoping review summarizes five hypotheses from the literature: gene/epigenetic regulation, stress/HPA axis activation, neuroinflammation/immune function, altered neuronal ...

NudEL targets dynein to microtubule ends through LIS1 [PDF]
Dynein is a minus-end-directed microtubule motor with critical roles in mitosis, membrane transport and intracellular transport. Several proteins regulate dynein activity, including dynactin, LIS1 (refs 2, 3) and NudEL (NudE-like). Here, we identify a NUDEL homologue in budding yeast and name it Ndl1. The ndl1delta null mutant shows decreased targeting

Stress-Induced CDK5 Activation Disrupts Axonal Transport via Lis1/Ndel1/Dynein
Axonal transport is essential for neuronal function, and defects in transport are associated with multiple neurodegenerative diseases. Aberrant cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) activity, driven by the stress-induced activator p25, also is observed in ...
