Data on characterizing the gene expression patterns of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis genes: CLN1, CLN2, CLN3, CLN5 and their association to interneuron and neurotransmission markers: Parvalbumin and Somatostatin

چکیده
The article contains raw and analyzed data related to the research article "Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis genes, CLN2, CLN3, CLN5 are spatially and temporally co-expressed in a developing mouse brain" (Fabritius et al., 2014) [1]. The processed data gives an understanding of the development of the cell types that are mostly affected by defective function of CLN proteins, timing of expression of CLN1, CLN2, CLN3 and CLN5 genes in a murine model. The data shows relationship between the expression pattern of these genes during neural development. Immunohistochemistry was used to identify known interneuronal markers for neurotransmission and cell proliferation: parvalbumin, somatostatin subpopulations of interneurons. Non-radioactive in-situ hybridization detected CLN5 mRNA in the hippocampus. Throughout the development strong expression of CLN genes were identified in the germinal epithelium and in ventricle regions, cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum. This provides supportive evidence that CLN1, CLN2, CLN3 and CLN5 genes may be involved in synaptic pruning.

Analysis of NCL Proteins from an Evolutionary Standpoint
The Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are the most common group of neurodegenerative disorders of childhood. While mutations in eight different genes have been shown to be responsible for these clinically distinct types of NCL, the NCLs share many clinical and pathological similarities. We have conducted an exhaustive Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) analysis of the human protein s...
متن کاملSaccharomyces cerevisiae G1 cyclins differ in their intrinsic functional specificities.
The three budding yeast CLN genes appear to be functionally redundant for cell cycle Start: any single CLN gene is sufficient to promote Start, while the cln1 cln2 cln3 triple mutant is Start defective and inviable. Both quantitative and apparently qualitative differences between CLN genes have been reported, but available data do not in general allow distinction between qualitative functional ...
متن کاملActivation of CLN1 and CLN2 G1 cyclin gene expression by BCK2.
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae CLN3 protein, a G1 cyclin, positively regulates the expression of CLN1 and CLN2, two additional G1 cyclins whose expression during late G1 is activated, in part, by the transcription factors SWI4 and SWI6. We isolated 12 complementation groups of mutants that require CLN3. The members of one of these complementation groups have mutations in the BCK2 gene. In a wild-...
متن کاملCcr4 alters cell size in yeast by modulating the timing of CLN1 and CLN2 expression.
Large, multisubunit Ccr4-Not complexes are evolutionarily conserved global regulators of gene expression. Deletion of CCR4 or several components of Ccr4-Not complexes results in abnormally large cells. Since yeast must attain a critical cell size at Start to commit to division, the large size of ccr4 delta cells implies that they may have a size-specific proliferation defect. Overexpression of ...
متن کاملComparison of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae G1 cyclins: Cln3 may be an upstream activator of Cln1, Cln2 and other cyclins.
In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the G1 cyclins Cln1, Cln2 and Cln3 regulate entry into the cell cycle (Start) by activating the Cdc28 protein kinase. We find that Cln3 is a much rarer protein than Cln1 or Cln2 and has a much weaker associated histone H1 kinase activity. Unlike Cln1 and Cln2, Cln3 is not significantly cell cycle regulated, nor is it down-regulated by mating pherom...
