Sexual Divergence in Microtubule Function: The Novel Intranasal Microtubule Targeting SKIP Normalizes Axonal Transport and Enhances Memory

ABSTRACT: Activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP), essential for brain formation, is a frequent autism spectrum disorder (ASD)-mutated gene. ADNP associates with microtubule end binding proteins (EBs) through its SxIP motif, to regulate dendritic spine formation and brain plasticity. Here, we reveal SKIP, a novel 4 amino acid peptide representing an EB-binding site, as a replacement therapy in an outbred Adnp-deficient mouse model. We discovered, for the first time, axonal transport deficits in Adnp+/- mice (measured by manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging), with significant male-female differences. Furthermore, the Adnp+/- mice exhibited impaired hippocampal expression of key ASD-linked genes including the serotonin transporter (Slc6a4), the calcium channel (VDCC) and the autophagy regulator, BECN1 (Beclin1), in a sex-dependent manner. RNA-seq evaluations corroborated, in part, immunohistochemical and functional results. Intranasal SKIP treatment normalized social memory in 8-9-month-old Adnp+/--treated mice to placebo-control levels, while protecting axonal transport and ameliorating changes in ASD-like gene expression. SKIP presents a novel lead compound for ASD drug development, a prevalent unmet medical need.

SKIP Confers Salt Tolerance through Controlling Gene Alternative Splicing in Arabidopsis

Project description:A better understanding of the mechanisms for plant in response to abiotic stresses is key for the improvement of plant to resistant to the stresses. Much has been known for the regulation of gene expression in response to salt stress at transcriptional level, however, little is known at posttranscriptional level for this response. Recently, we identified that SKIP is a component of spliceosome and is necessary for the regulation of alternative splicing and mRNA maturation of clock genes. In this study, we observed that skip-1 is hypersensitive to salt stress. SKIP is necessary for the alternative splicing and mRNA maturation of several salt tolerance genes, e.g. NHX1, CBL1, P5CS1, RCI2A, and PAT10. Genome-wide analysis reveals that SKIP mediates the alternative splicing of many genes under salt stress condition, most of the new alternative splicing events in skip-1 is intron retention, which leads to the premature termination codon in their mRNA. SKIP also controls the alternative splicing by modulating the recognition or cleavage of 5' and 3' splice donor and acceptor sites under salt stress condition. Therefore, this study addresses a fundamental question on how the mRNA splicing machinery contributes to salt response at a posttranscriptional level. Totally six samples, two treatments and two genotypes, and each have two replicats.

SKIP regulates ABA-mediated alternative splicing and its signaling in Arabidopsis

Project description:Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a key role in plant development and responses to abiotic stress. A wide number of regulatory mechanisms on ABA perception and signaling are known, including transcriptional regulation and post-translational regulations; however, less to know about the post-transcriptional regulations. In this work, we have found that SKIP, a splicing factor in spliceosome, positively regulates ABA signal transduction. Mutation of SKIP, skip-1, confers ABA insensitive phenotype in seed germination, root growth, and ABA-responsive gene expression. Transformation of SKIP genomic DNA to skip-1 is able to recover its defects. SKIP binds to the pre-mRNA of genes in ABA signaling, such as PYL8, to regulate their splicing. The alternative splicing of PYL7, PYL8, ABF2, and ABI5 in ABA pathway is disrupted by skip-1, reducing the mRNA levels of them. The abnormal splicing of PP2Cs activates their transcription by skip-1, suggesting there is a feedback regulation for PP2Cs caused by skip-1. The down-regulation of PYL ABA receptors, ABF2 and ABI5 ABA response transcription factors, and the up-regulation of PP2Cs through alternative splicing reduce the plant responses to ABA in skip-1. SKIP is required for ABA-mediated genome-wide alternative splicing. ABA treatment enhances the novel splicing events in WT genome-widely. The novel alternative splicing events are increased by skip-1 in the absence and present of ABA. Our results first reveal a principle on how a splicing factor affects the ABA signaling.

SKIP Is a Component of the Spliceosome Linking Alternative Splicing and the Circadian Clock in Arabidopsis

Project description:Circadian clocks generate endogenous rhythms in most organisms from cyanobacteria to humans and facilitate entrainment to environmental diurnal cycles, thus conferring a fitness advantage. Both transcriptional and posttranslational mechanisms are prominent in the basic network architecture of circadian systems. Posttranscriptional regulation, including mRNA processing, is emerging as a critical step for the clock function. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms linking RNA metabolism to the circadian clock network. Here we report that a conserved SNW/SKIP domain protein, SKIP, a splicing factor and component of the spliceosome, is involved in the posttranscriptional regulation of circadian clock genes in Arabidopsis. Mutation in SKIP lengthens the circadian period in a temperature sensitive manner, affects light input and the sensitivity of light resetting to the clock. SKIP physically interacts with the spliceosomal splicing factor SR45 and associates with the pre-mRNA of clock genes, such as PRR7 and PRR9, and is necessary for the regulation of their alternative splicing and mRNA maturation. Genome-wide investigations reveal that SKIP functions in regulating alternative splicing of many genes, presumably through modulating recognition or cleavage of 5' and 3' splicing site. Our study addresses a fundamental question on how the mRNA splicing machinery contributes to circadian clock functions at a posttranscriptional level. Our findings revealed that AtSKIP is a splicing factor and a component of spliceosome. To further investigate effects of mutation in SKIP on the genome-wide changes of alternative splicing, we performed ultra-highthroughput RNA sequencing, using 10-day old seedlings. Two biological replicates for both wild type (Col-0) and skip-2 were designed.

Transcriptome analysis of Adnp-heterozygous mice in the hippocampus

Project description:ADNP syndrome, involving the ADNP transcription factor in the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex, is characterized by developmental delay, intellectual disability, and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). In ASD, ADNP is a highly penetrant risk gene, accounting for ~0.17% cases. Although Adnp-haploinsufficient mice display various phenotypic deficits, the underlying synaptic mechanisms are poorly understood. Here we report age-differential synaptic plasticity deficits associated with cognitive inflexibility and CaMKIIα hyperactivity in Adnp-mutant mice. These mice show impaired and inflexible contextual learning and memory additional to social and anxiety-related deficits in adults long after a marked decrease in ADNP protein levels to ~10% of newborn levels in juveniles. In addition, Adnp-mutant adults show abnormally enhanced long-term potentiation in adults but not in juveniles. This accompanies CaMKIIα hyperactivity involving increased baseline autophosphorylation, as revealed by unbiased proteomic analyses. Therefore, ADNP haploinsufficiency in mice leads to cognitive inflexibility involving altered synaptic plasticity and signaling in adults long after a marked decrease in Adnp expression in juveniles.

CRISPR-SKIP: Programmable Gene Splicing with Single Base Editors [gDNA]

Project description:CRISPR gene editing has revolutionized biomedicine and biotechnology by providing a simple means to engineer genes in vivo by introducing mutations at target sites in the genomic DNA of living cells. However, given the stochasticity of cellular DNA repair mechanisms and the potential for introducing mutations at off-target sites, technologies capable of introducing targeted changes with increased precision, such as cytidine deaminase single-base editors, are preferred. We here present a versatile method termed CRISPR-SKIP that utilizes cytidine deaminase single-base editors to program de-novo exon skipping by mutating target DNA bases within splice acceptor sites. Given its simplicity and precision, CRISPR-SKIP will be broadly applicable in gene therapy and synthetic biology.
