Convergent evidence identifying MAP/microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 1 (MARK1) as a susceptibility gene for autism.
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are common, heritable, but genetically heterogeneous neurodevelopmental conditions. We recently defined a susceptibility locus for ASDs on chromosome 1q41-q42. High-resolution single-nucleotide polymorphisms (126 SNPs) genotyping across the chromosome 1q41-q42 region, followed by a MARK1 (microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 1)-tagged-SNP association study in ...
متن کاملSuppression of tubulin polymerization by the LKB1-microtubule-associated protein/microtubule affinity-regulating kinase signaling.
LKB1, a tumor suppressor gene mutated in the Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase. Recent biochemical studies have shown that LKB1 activates 14 AMP-activated protein kinase-related kinases including MARKs (microtubule-associated protein/microtubule affinity-regulating kinases) that regulate microtubule dynamics. Here we show in vitro that LKB1 phosphorylates and act...
متن کاملMicrotubule affinity-regulating kinase 4 (MARK4) is a component of the ectoplasmic specialization in the rat testis
During the seminiferous epithelial cycle of spermatogenesis, the ectoplasmic specialization (ES, a testis-specific adherens junction, AJ, type) maintains the polarity of elongating/elongated spermatids and confers adhesion to Sertoli cells in the seminiferous epithelium, and known as the apical ES. On the other hand, the ES is also found at the Sertoli-Sertoli cell interface at the blood-testis...
متن کاملInduction of choline rise in the rat hippocampus by electroconvulsive shock treatment
Human hippocampal choline decreases in major depression episodes. This decrease was recently measured by our group and it has been found that its level normalizes during electroconvulsive therapy. We hypothesized a hippocampal choline increase in the rat brain under electroconvulsive shock (ECS) treatment in an animal model of depression (Learned Helplessness). Method: Rat hippocampi were inves...
متن کاملPolarity-regulating kinase partitioning-defective 1/microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 2 negatively regulates development of dendrites on hippocampal neurons.
Neurons are highly polarized cells that possess two morphologically and functionally different types of protrusions, axons and dendrites, that function in the transmission and reception of neural signals, respectively. A great deal of attention has been paid to the specification and guidance of axons, but the mechanism of dendrite development remains mostly unknown. We report here that a polari...
