Abstract
In a developing nervous system, axonal arbors often undergo complex rearrangements before neural circuits attain their final innervation topology. In the lateral line sensory system of the zebrafish, developing sensory axons reorganize their terminal arborization patterns to establish precise neural microcircuits around the mechanosensory hair cells. However, a quantitative understanding of the changes in the sensory arbor morphology and the regulators behind the microcircuit assembly remain enigmatic. Here, we report that Semaphorin7A (Sema7A) acts as an important mediator of these processes. Utilizing a semi-automated three-dimensional neurite tracing methodology and computational techniques, we have identified and quantitatively analyzed distinct topological features that shape the network in wild-type and Sema7A loss-of-function mutants. In contrast to those of wild-type animals, the sensory axons in Sema7A mutants display aberrant arborizations with disorganized network topology and diminished contacts to hair cells. Moreover, ectopic expression of a secreted form of Sema7A by non-hair cells induces chemotropic guidance of sensory axons. Our findings propose that Sema7A likely functions both as a juxtracrine and as a secreted cue to pattern neural circuitry during sensory organ development.

Abstract
Inherited glycosylphosphatidylinositol deficiency disorders (IGDs) are a group of rare multisystem disorders arising from pathogenic variants in glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor pathway (GPI-AP) genes. Despite associating 24 of at least 31 GPI-AP genes with human neurogenetic disease, prior reports are limited to single genes without consideration of the GPI-AP as a whole and with limited natural history data. In this multinational retrospective observational study, we systematically analyse the molecular spectrum, phenotypic characteristics and natural history of 83 individuals from 75 unique families with IGDs, including 70 newly reported individuals; the largest single cohort to date. Core clinical features were developmental delay or intellectual disability (DD/ID, 90%), seizures (83%), hypotonia (72%) and motor symptoms (64%). Prognostic and biologically significant neuroimaging features included cerebral atrophy (75%), cerebellar atrophy (60%), callosal anomalies (57%) and symmetric restricted diffusion of the central tegmental tracts (60%). Sixty-one individuals had multisystem involvement including gastrointestinal (66%), cardiac (19%) and renal (14%) anomalies. Though dysmorphic features were appreciated in 82%, no single dysmorphic feature had a prevalence >30%, indicating substantial phenotypic heterogeneity. Follow-up data were available for all individuals, 15 of whom were deceased at the time of writing. Median age at seizure onset was 6 months. Individuals with variants in synthesis stage genes of the GPI-AP exhibited a significantly shorter time to seizure onset than individuals with variants in transamidase and remodelling stage genes of the GPI-AP (P = 0.046). Forty individuals had intractable epilepsy. The majority of individuals experienced delayed or absent speech (95%), motor delay with non-ambulance (64%), and severe-to-profound DD/ID (59%). Individuals with a developmental epileptic encephalopathy (51%) were at greater risk of intractable epilepsy (P = 0.003), non-ambulance (P = 0.035), ongoing enteral feeds (P < 0.001) and cortical visual impairment (P = 0.007). Serial neuroimaging showed progressive cerebral volume loss in 87.5% and progressive cerebellar atrophy in 70.8%, indicating a neurodegenerative process. Genetic analyses identified 93 unique variants (106 total), including 22 novel variants. Exploratory analyses of genotype-phenotype correlations using unsupervised hierarchical clustering identified novel genotypic predictors of clinical phenotype and long-term outcome with meaningful implications for management. In summary, we expand both the mild and severe phenotypic extremities of the IGDs, provide insights into their neurological basis, and vitally, enable meaningful genetic counselling for affected individuals and their families.

Abstract
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) is a highly conserved post-translational modification in eukaryotes, which is essential for anchoring various proteins to the cell surface. Dysfunction of GPI biogenesis leads to human diseases, such as inherited GPI deficiency (IGD) caused by germline mutations in GPI-related genes. With accumulating reports on individuals with IGD, there has been increasing interest and studies on disease mechanism, diagnosis, and therapy. This review outlines the biosynthetic pathway of GPI-anchored proteins (GPI-APs) and summarizes clinical IGD cases from a molecular perspective. We also review current diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for IGD. Finally, we discuss future research directions to facilitate the understanding and treatment of GPI-related disorders.

Abstract
MDGA (MAM domain containing glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor) family proteins were previously identified as synaptic suppressive factors. However, various genetic manipulations have yielded often irreconcilable results, precluding precise evaluation of MDGA functions. Here, we found that, in cultured hippocampal neurons, conditional deletion of MDGA1 and MDGA2 causes specific alterations in synapse numbers, basal synaptic transmission, and synaptic strength at GABAergic and glutamatergic synapses, respectively. Moreover, MDGA2 deletion enhanced both N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor- and α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA) receptor-mediated postsynaptic responses. Strikingly, ablation of both MDGA1 and MDGA2 abolished the effect of deleting individual MDGAs that is abrogated by chronic blockade of synaptic activity. Molecular replacement experiments further showed that MDGA1 requires the meprin/A5 protein/PTPmu (MAM) domain, whereas MDGA2 acts via neuroligin-dependent and/or MAM domain-dependent pathways to regulate distinct postsynaptic properties. Together, our data demonstrate that MDGA paralogs act as unique negative regulators of activity-dependent postsynaptic organization at distinct synapse types, and cooperatively contribute to adjustment of excitation-inhibition balance.

Abstract
The ability of neurons to rapidly remodel their synaptic structure and strength in response to neuronal activity is highly conserved across species and crucial for complex brain functions. However, mechanisms required to elicit and coordinate the acute, activity-dependent structural changes across synapses are not well understood, as neurodevelopment and structural plasticity are tightly linked. Here, using an RNAi screen in Drosophila against genes affecting nervous system functions in humans, we uncouple cellular processes important for synaptic plasticity and synapse development. We find mutations associated with neurodegenerative and mental health disorders are 2-times more likely to affect activity-induced synaptic remodeling than synapse development. We report that while both synapse development and activity-induced synaptic remodeling at the fly NMJ require macroautophagy (hereafter referred to as autophagy), bifurcation in the autophagy pathway differentially impacts development and synaptic plasticity. We demonstrate that neuronal activity enhances autophagy activation but diminishes degradative autophagy, thereby driving the pathway towards autophagy-based secretion. Presynaptic knockdown of Snap29, Sec22, or Rab8, proteins implicated in the secretory autophagy pathway, is sufficient to abolish activity-induced synaptic remodeling. This study uncovers secretory autophagy as a transsynaptic signaling mechanism modulating synaptic plasticity.

Abstract
The Drosophila Dpr and DIP proteins belong to the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell surface proteins (CSPs). Their hetero- and homophilic interactions have been implicated in a variety of neuronal functions, including synaptic connectivity, cell survival, and axon fasciculation. However, the signaling pathways underlying these diverse functions are unknown. To gain insight into Dpr-DIP signaling, we sought to examine how these CSPs are associated with the membrane. Specifically, we asked whether Dprs and DIPs are integral membrane proteins or membrane anchored through the addition of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) linkage. We demonstrate that most Dprs and DIPs are GPI anchored to the membrane of insect cells and validate these findings for some family members in vivo using Drosophila larvae, where GPI anchor cleavage results in loss of surface labeling. Additionally, we show that GPI cleavage abrogates aggregation of insect cells expressing cognate Dpr-DIP partners. To test if the GPI anchor affects Dpr and DIP localization, we replaced it with a transmembrane domain and observed perturbation of subcellular localization on motor neurons and muscles. These data suggest that membrane anchoring of Dprs and DIPs through GPI linkage is required for localization and that Dpr-DIP intracellular signaling likely requires transmembrane coreceptors.

Abstract
miRNAs regulate mRNAs, including those important for synapse function in the brain. Mucha and colleagues recently identified a novel miRNA-mRNA interaction in the basolateral amygdala that acts as a homeostatic counter to stress-induced anxiety and synaptic changes, suggesting miRNAs as potential avenues for therapeutic intervention in anxiety disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Grooming dysfunction is a hallmark of the obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorder trichotillomania. Numerous preclinical studies have utilized SAPAP3-deficient mice for understanding the neurobiology of repetitive grooming, suggesting that excessive grooming is caused by increased metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) activity in striatal direct- and indirect-pathway medium spiny neurons (MSNs). However, the MSN subtype-specific signaling mechanisms that mediate mGluR5-dependent adaptations underlying excessive grooming are not fully understood. Here, we investigated the MSN subtype-specific roles of the striatal signaling hub protein spinophilin in mediating repetitive motor dysfunction associated with mGluR5 function. METHODS Quantitative proteomics and immunoblotting were utilized to identify how spinophilin impacts mGluR5 phosphorylation and protein interaction changes. Plasticity and repetitive motor dysfunction associated with mGluR5 action were measured using our novel conditional spinophilin mouse model in which spinophilin was knocked out from striatal direct-pathway MSNs and/or indirect-pathway MSNs. RESULTS Loss of spinophilin only in indirect-pathway MSNs decreased performance of a novel motor repertoire, but loss of spinophilin in either MSN subtype abrogated striatal plasticity associated with mGluR5 function and prevented excessive grooming caused by SAPAP3 knockout mice or treatment with the mGluR5-specific positive allosteric modulator VU0360172 without impacting locomotion-relevant behavior. Biochemically, we determined that the spinophilin-mGluR5 interaction correlates with grooming behavior and that loss of spinophilin shifts mGluR5 interactions from lipid raft-associated proteins toward postsynaptic density proteins implicated in psychiatric disorders. CONCLUSIONS These results identify spinophilin as a novel striatal signaling hub molecule in MSNs that cell subtype specifically mediates behavioral, functional, and molecular adaptations associated with repetitive motor dysfunction in psychiatric disorders.

Abstract
Neurodevelopmental disorders are frequently linked to mutations in synaptic organizing molecules. MAM domain containing glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor 1 and 2 (MDGA1 and MDGA2) are a family of synaptic organizers suggested to play an unusual role as synaptic repressors, but studies offer conflicting evidence for their localization. Using epitope-tagged MDGA1 and MDGA2 knock-in mice, we found that native MDGAs are expressed throughout the brain, peaking early in postnatal development. Surprisingly, endogenous MDGA1 was enriched at excitatory, but not inhibitory, synapses. Both shRNA knockdown and CRISPR/Cas9 knockout of MDGA1 resulted in cell-autonomous, specific impairment of AMPA receptor-mediated synaptic transmission, without affecting GABAergic transmission. Conversely, MDGA2 knockdown/knockout selectively depressed NMDA receptor-mediated transmission but enhanced inhibitory transmission. Our results establish that MDGA2 acts as a synaptic repressor, but only at inhibitory synapses, whereas both MDGAs are required for excitatory transmission. This nonoverlapping division of labor between two highly conserved synaptic proteins is unprecedented.

Abstract
We previously reported that glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) biosynthesis is upregulated when endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) is defective; however, the underlying mechanistic basis remains unclear. Based on a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screen, we show that a widely expressed GPI-anchored protein CD55 precursor and ER-resident ARV1 are involved in upregulation of GPI biosynthesis under ERAD-deficient conditions. In cells defective in GPI transamidase, GPI-anchored protein precursors fail to obtain GPI, with the remaining uncleaved GPI-attachment signal at the C-termini. We show that ERAD deficiency causes accumulation of the CD55 precursor, which in turn upregulates GPI biosynthesis, where the GPI-attachment signal peptide is the active element. Among the 31 GPI-anchored proteins tested, only the GPI-attachment signal peptides of CD55, CD48, and PLET1 enhance GPI biosynthesis. ARV1 is prerequisite for the GPI upregulation by CD55 precursor. Our data indicate that GPI biosynthesis is balanced to need by ARV1 and precursors of specific GPI-anchored proteins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is a common and complex mental disease, and its pathogenesis involves several brain regions. Abnormalities in the amygdala-hippocampal neural circuits have been shown to be involved in depression. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. METHODS A rat model was used to determine the transcriptome changes in the amygdala-hippocampal neural network under chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). Depression-related modules in this neural network were identified using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Difference and enrichment analyses were used to determine differential gene expression in the two brain regions. RESULTS The modules in the amygdala and hippocampus associated with depression-like behavior contained 363 and 225 genes, respectively. Forty-two differentially expressed genes were identified in the amygdala candidate module and 37 in the hippocampus. Enrichment analysis showed that candidate genes in the amygdala were associated with neuronal myelination and candidate genes in the hippocampus were associated with synaptic transmission. Finally, based on module hub gene statistics, differential gene expression, and protein-protein interaction networks, 11 central genes were found in the amygdala candidate module, and one central gene was found in the hippocampal module. LIMITATIONS Our study was based on a rat CUMS model. Further evidence is needed to prove that our results are applicable to patients with depression. CONCLUSION This study identified critical modules and central genes involved in the amygdala-hippocampal circuit in the context of depression, and may provide further understanding of the pathogenesis of depression and help identify potential targets for antidepressant therapy.

Abstract
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchorage of cell surface proteins to the membrane is biologically important and ubiquitous in eukaryotes. However, GPIs do not contain long enough lipids to span the entire membrane bilayer. To transduce binding signals, GPIs must interact with other membrane components, but such interactions are difficult to define. Here, a new method was developed to explore GPI-interacting membrane proteins in live cell with a bifunctional analogue of the glucosaminylphosphatidylinositol motif conserved in all GPIs as a probe. This probe contained a diazirine functionality in the lipid and an alkynyl group on the glucosamine residue to respectively facilitate the cross-linkage of GPI-binding membrane proteins with the probe upon photoactivation and then the installation of biotin to the cross-linked proteins via a click reaction for affinity-based protein isolation and analysis. Profiling the proteins pulled down from the Hela cells revealed 94 unique and 18 overrepresented proteins compared to the control, and most of them are membrane proteins and many are GPI-related. The results have proved not only the concept of using the new bifunctional GPI probe to investigate GPI-binding membrane proteins but also the important role of inositol in the biological functions of GPI anchors and GPI-anchored proteins.

Abstract
The same genetic variant found in different individuals can cause a range of diverse phenotypes, from no discernible clinical phenotype to severe disease, even among related individuals. Such variants can be said to display incomplete penetrance, a binary phenomenon where the genotype either causes the expected clinical phenotype or it does not, or they can be said to display variable expressivity, in which the same genotype can cause a wide range of clinical symptoms across a spectrum. Both incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity are thought to be caused by a range of factors, including common variants, variants in regulatory regions, epigenetics, environmental factors, and lifestyle. Many thousands of genetic variants have been identified as the cause of monogenic disorders, mostly determined through small clinical studies, and thus, the penetrance and expressivity of these variants may be overestimated when compared to their effect on the general population. With the wealth of population cohort data currently available, the penetrance and expressivity of such genetic variants can be investigated across a much wider contingent, potentially helping to reclassify variants that were previously thought to be completely penetrant. Research into the penetrance and expressivity of such genetic variants is important for clinical classification, both for determining causative mechanisms of disease in the affected population and for providing accurate risk information through genetic counseling. A genotype-based definition of the causes of rare diseases incorporating information from population cohorts and clinical studies is critical for our understanding of incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity. This review examines our current knowledge of the penetrance and expressivity of genetic variants in rare disease and across populations, as well as looking into the potential causes of the variation seen, including genetic modifiers, mosaicism, and polygenic factors, among others. We also considered the challenges that come with investigating penetrance and expressivity.

Abstract
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchoring of proteins is a eukaryotic, post-translational modification catalyzed by GPI transamidase (GPI-T). The Saccharomyces cerevisiae GPI-T is composed of five membrane-bound subunits: Gpi8, Gaa1, Gpi16, Gpi17, and Gab1. GPI-T has been recalcitrant to in vitro structure and function studies because of its complexity and membrane-solubility. Furthermore, a reliable, quantitative, in vitro assay for this important post-translational modification has remained elusive despite its discovery more than three decades ago.Three recent reports describe the structure of GPI-T from S. cerevisiae and humans, shedding critical light on this important enzyme and offering insight into the functions of its different subunits. Here, we present the purification and characterization of a truncated soluble GPI-T heterotrimer complex (Gpi823-306, Gaa150-343, and Gpi1620-551) without transmembrane domains. Using this simplified heterotrimer, we report the first quantitative method to measure GPI-T activity in vitro and demonstrate that this soluble, minimalistic GPI-T retains transamidase activity. These results contribute to our understanding of how this enzyme is organized and functions, and provide a method to screen potential GPI-T inhibitors.

Abstract
How signaling proteins generate a multitude of information to organize tissue patterns is critical to understanding morphogenesis. In Drosophila, FGF produced in wing-disc cells regulates the development of the disc-associated air-sac-primordium (ASP). Here, we show that FGF is Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored to the producing cell surface and that this modification both inhibits free FGF secretion and promotes target-specific cytoneme contacts and contact-dependent FGF release. FGF-source and ASP cells extend cytonemes that present FGF and FGFR on their surfaces and reciprocally recognize each other over distance by contacting through cell-adhesion-molecule (CAM)-like FGF-FGFR binding. Contact-mediated FGF-FGFR interactions induce bidirectional responses in ASP and source cells that, in turn, polarize FGF-sending and FGF-receiving cytonemes toward each other to reinforce signaling contacts. Subsequent un-anchoring of FGFR-bound-FGF from the source membrane dissociates cytoneme contacts and delivers FGF target-specifically to ASP cytonemes for paracrine functions. Thus, GPI-anchored FGF organizes both source and recipient cells and self-regulates its cytoneme-mediated tissue-specific dispersion. Cytonemes are signaling filopodia that mediate target-specific long-distance communications of signals like FGFs. Du et al. show that a Drosophila FGF is anchored to the FGF-producing cell surface, inhibiting free FGF secretion and activating contact-dependent bidirectional FGF-FGFR interactions, controlling target-specific cytoneme contacts and contact-dependent FGF release.

Abstract
Inherited glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) deficiency (IGD) is caused by mutations in GPI biosynthesis genes. The mechanisms of its systemic, especially neurological, symptoms are not clarified and fundamental therapy has not been established. Here, we report establishment of mouse models of IGD caused by PIGO mutations as well as development of effective gene therapy. As the clinical manifestations of IGD are systemic and lifelong lasting, we treated the mice with adeno-associated virus for homology-independent knock-in as well as extra-chromosomal expression of Pigo cDNA. Significant amelioration of neuronal phenotypes and growth defect was achieved, opening a new avenue for curing IGDs.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the short-term efficacy and safety of high-dose pyridoxine and pyridoxal 5-phosphate (P5P) in the treatment of inherited glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) deficiency-associated epilepsy. METHOD Participants with genetically confirmed GPI deficiency were treated with oral pyridoxine or P5P as compassionate use in an agreed-upon clinical regimen. Pyridoxine (20-30 mg/kg/day) was used for 3 months. Baseline evaluation included 4 weeks of prospective seizure data and one video electroencephalogram (EEG). Seizure frequency was captured daily. The EEG was repeated after reaching maximum dosage of pyridoxine. Pyridoxine was switched to P5P (20-30 mg/kg/day) if seizure burden was unchanged after 3 months' treatment. Another EEG was done after 3 months of P5P treatment. Primary outcome measures were reduction of seizure frequency and EEG improvements. RESULTS Seven participants (one female, six males; age range 5-23 year; mean age 11 years 10 months, SD 5 year 2 months) were included. The genetic causes of inherited GPI deficiency were phosphatidylinositol N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase subunit A/T/V deficiency. All had drug-resistant epilepsy and neurodevelopmental impairment. We observed more than 50% seizure frequency reduction in 2 out of 7 and less than 50% reduction in another 3 out of 7 participants. No participants reached seizure freedom. No remarkable changes in electrophysiological findings were observed in 6 out of 7 participants treated with pyridoxine or P5P when comparing the baseline and follow-up EEGs. INTERPRETATION We observed no long-lasting electrophysiological improvements during treatment but pyridoxine may reduce seizure frequency or burden in inherited GPI deficiency. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS Inherited glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) deficiency often causes early-onset and drug-resistant epilepsy. Vitamin B6 is a potential disease-specific treatment; however, efficacy and safety are ill-defined. Pyridoxine may reduce seizure frequency or burden in inherited GPI deficiency. Pyridoxine and P5P could prove to be a useful treatment in some individuals with inherited GPI deficiency and epilepsy.

Abstract
SLC6A20A is a proline and glycine transporter known to regulate glycine homeostasis and NMDA receptor (NMDAR) function in the brain. A previous study found increases in ambient glycine levels and NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic transmission in the brains of Slc6a20a-haploinsufficient mice, but it remained unknown whether Slc6a20a deficiency leads to disease-related behavioral deficits in mice. Here, we report that Slc6a20a heterozygous and homozygous mutant mice display differential behavioral phenotypes in locomotor, repetitive behavioral, and spatial and fear memory domains. In addition, these mice show differential transcriptomic changes in synapse, ribosome, mitochondria, autism, epilepsy, and neuron-related genes. These results suggest that heterozygous and homozygous Slc6a20a deletions in mice lead to differential changes in behaviors and transcriptomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Epilepsy is common in patients with PIGN diseases due to biallelic variants; however, limited epilepsy phenotyping data have been reported. We describe the epileptology of PIGN encephalopathy. METHODS We recruited patients with epilepsy due to biallelic PIGN variants and obtained clinical data regarding age at seizure onset/offset and semiology, development, medical history, examination, electroencephalogram, neuroimaging, and treatment. Seizure and epilepsy types were classified. RESULTS Twenty six patients (13 female) from 26 families were identified, with mean age 7 years (range = 1 month to 21 years; three deceased). Abnormal development at seizure onset was present in 25 of 26. Developmental outcome was most frequently profound (14/26) or severe (11/26). Patients presented with focal motor (12/26), unknown onset motor (5/26), focal impaired awareness (1/26), absence (2/26), myoclonic (2/26), myoclonic-atonic (1/26), and generalized tonic-clonic (2/26) seizures. Twenty of 26 were classified as developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE): 55% (11/20) focal DEE, 30% (6/20) generalized DEE, and 15% (3/20) combined DEE. Six had intellectual disability and epilepsy (ID+E): two generalized and four focal epilepsy. Mean age at seizure onset was 13 months (birth to 10 years), with a lower mean onset in DEE (7 months) compared with ID+E (33 months). Patients with DEE had drug-resistant epilepsy, compared to 4/6 ID+E patients, who were seizure-free. Hyperkinetic movement disorder occurred in 13 of 26 patients. Twenty-seven of 34 variants were novel. Variants were truncating (n = 7), intronic and predicted to affect splicing (n = 7), and missense or inframe indels (n = 20, of which 11 were predicted to affect splicing). Seven variants were recurrent, including p.Leu311Trp in 10 unrelated patients, nine with generalized seizures, accounting for nine of the 11 patients in this cohort with generalized seizures. SIGNIFICANCE PIGN encephalopathy is a complex autosomal recessive disorder associated with a wide spectrum of epilepsy phenotypes, typically with substantial profound to severe developmental impairment.

Abstract
Cholesterol is biosynthesized by all animal cells. Beyond its metabolic role in steroidogenesis, it is enriched in the plasma membrane where it has key structural and regulatory functions. Cholesterol is thus presumably important for post-injury axon regrowth, and this notion is supported by studies showing that impairment of local cholesterol reutilization impeded regeneration. However, several studies have also shown that statins, inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase, are enhancers of axon regeneration, presumably acting through an attenuation of the mevalonate isoprenoid pathway and consequent reduction in protein prenylation. Several recent reports have now shown that cholesterol depletion, as well as inhibition of cholesterol synthesis per se, enhances axon regeneration. Here, I discussed these findings and propose some possible underlying mechanisms. The latter would include possible disruptions to axon growth inhibitor signaling by lipid raft-localized receptors, as well as other yet unclear neuronal survival signaling process enhanced by cholesterol lowering or depletion.

Abstract
Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a disease as simple as it is complex. PNH patients develop somatic loss-of-function mutations in phosphatidylinositol N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase subunit A gene (PIGA), required for the biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors. Ubiquitous in eukaryotes, GPI anchors are a group of conserved glycolipid molecules responsible for attaching nearly 150 distinct proteins to the surface of cell membranes. The loss of two GPI-anchored surface proteins, CD55 and CD59, from red blood cells causes unregulated complement activation and hemolysis in classical PNH disease. In PNH patients, PIGA-mutant, GPI (-) hematopoietic cells clonally expand to make up a large portion of patients’ blood production, yet mechanisms leading to clonal expansion of GPI (-) cells remain enigmatic. Historical models of PNH in mice and the more recent PNH model in rhesus macaques showed that GPI (-) cells reconstitute near-normal hematopoiesis but have no intrinsic growth advantage and do not clonally expand over time. Landmark studies identified several potential mechanisms which can promote PNH clonal expansion. However, to what extent these contribute to PNH cell selection in patients continues to be a matter of active debate. Recent advancements in disease models and immunologic technologies, together with the growing understanding of autoimmune marrow failure, offer new opportunities to evaluate the mechanisms of clonal expansion in PNH. Here, we critically review published data on PNH cell biology and clonal expansion and highlight limitations and opportunities to further our understanding of the emergence of PNH clones.

Abstract
Balanced synaptic inhibition, controlled by multiple synaptic adhesion proteins, is critical for proper brain function. MDGA1 (meprin, A-5 protein, and receptor protein-tyrosine phosphatase mu [MAM] domain-containing glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor protein 1) suppresses synaptic inhibition in mammalian neurons, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying MDGA1-mediated negative regulation of GABAergic synapses remain unresolved. Here, we show that the MDGA1 MAM domain directly interacts with the extension domain of amyloid precursor protein (APP). Strikingly, MDGA1-mediated synaptic disinhibition requires the MDGA1 MAM domain and is prominent at distal dendrites of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons. Down-regulation of APP in presynaptic GABAergic interneurons specifically suppressed GABAergic, but not glutamatergic, synaptic transmission strength and inputs onto both the somatic and dendritic compartments of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons. Moreover, APP deletion manifested differential effects in somatostatin- and parvalbumin-positive interneurons in the hippocampal CA1, resulting in distinct alterations in inhibitory synapse numbers, transmission, and excitability. The infusion of MDGA1 MAM protein mimicked postsynaptic MDGA1 gain-of-function phenotypes that involve the presence of presynaptic APP. The overexpression of MDGA1 wild type or MAM, but not MAM-deleted MDGA1, in the hippocampal CA1 impaired novel object-recognition memory in mice. Thus, our results establish unique roles of APP-MDGA1 complexes in hippocampal neural circuits, providing unprecedented insight into trans-synaptic mechanisms underlying differential tuning of neuronal compartment-specific synaptic inhibition.

Abstract
Background and Objectives To expand the clinical knowledge of GPAA1-related glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) deficiency. Methods An international case series of 7 patients with biallelic GPAA1 variants were identified. Clinical, biochemical, and neuroimaging data were collected for comparison. Where possible, GPI-anchored proteins were assessed using flow cytometry. Results Ten novel variants were identified in 7 patients. Flow cytometry samples of 3 available patients confirmed deficiency of several GPI-anchored proteins on leukocytes. Extensive phenotypic information was available for each patient. The majority experienced developmental delay, seizures, and hypotonia. Neuroimaging revealed cerebellar anomalies in the majority of the patients. Alkaline phosphatase was within the normal range in 5 individuals and low in 1 individual, as has been noted in other transamidase defects. We notably describe individuals either less affected or older than the ones published previously. Discussion Clinical features of the cases reported broaden the spectrum of the known phenotype of GPAA1-related GPI deficiency, while outlining the importance of using functional studies such as flow cytometry to aid in variant classification.

Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Patients With Complex Phenotypes and Potential Complex Genetic Basis Involving Non-Coding Genes, and Double CNVs. Front Genet 2021; 12:732002. [PMID: 34621295 PMCID: PMC8490884 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2021.732002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2021] [Accepted: 09/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are a heterogeneous class of brain diseases, with a complex genetic basis estimated to account for up to 50% of cases. Nevertheless, genetic diagnostic yield is about 20%. Array-comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) is an established first-level diagnostic test able to detect pathogenic copy number variants (CNVs), however, most identified variants remain of uncertain significance (VUS). Failure of interpretation of VUSs may depend on various factors, including complexity of clinical phenotypes and inconsistency of genotype-phenotype correlations. Indeed, although most NDD-associated CNVs are de novo, transmission from unaffected parents to affected children of CNVs with high risk for NDDs has been observed. Moreover, variability of genetic components overlapped by CNVs, such as long non-coding genes, genomic regions with long-range effects, and additive effects of multiple CNVs can make CNV interpretation challenging. We report on 12 patients with complex phenotypes possibly explained by complex genetic mechanisms, including involvement of antisense genes and boundaries of topologically associating domains. Eight among the 12 patients carried two CNVs, either de novo or inherited, respectively, by each of their healthy parents, that could additively contribute to the patients’ phenotype. CNVs overlapped either known NDD-associated or novel candidate genes (PTPRD, BUD13, GLRA3, MIR4465, ABHD4, and WSCD2). Bioinformatic enrichment analyses showed that genes overlapped by the co-occurring CNVs have synergistic roles in biological processes fundamental in neurodevelopment. Double CNVs could concur in producing deleterious effects, according to a two-hit model, thus explaining the patients’ phenotypes and the incomplete penetrance, and variable expressivity, associated with the single variants. Overall, our findings could contribute to the knowledge on clinical and genetic diagnosis of complex forms of NDD.

Hum Mol Genet 2021; 29:1205-1217. [PMID: 32179897 DOI: 10.1093/hmg/ddaa046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2019] [Revised: 01/31/2020] [Accepted: 03/11/2020] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor is a post-translational modification added to approximately 150 different proteins to facilitate proper membrane anchoring and trafficking to lipid rafts. Biosynthesis and remodeling of the GPI anchor requires the activity of over 20 distinct genes. Defects in the biosynthesis of GPI anchors in humans lead to inherited glycosylphosphatidylinositol deficiency (IGD). IGD patients display a wide range of phenotypes though the central nervous system (CNS) appears to be the most commonly affected tissue. A full understanding of the etiology of these phenotypes has been hampered by the lack of animal models due to embryonic lethality of GPI biosynthesis gene null mutants. Here we model IGD by genetically ablating GPI production in the CNS with a conditional mouse allele of phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class A (Piga) and Nestin-Cre. We find that the mutants do not have structural brain defects but do not survive past weaning. The mutants show progressive decline with severe ataxia consistent with defects in cerebellar development. We show that the mutants have reduced myelination and defective Purkinje cell development. Surprisingly, we found that Piga was expressed in a fairly restricted pattern in the early postnatal brain consistent with the defects we observed in our model. Thus, we have generated a novel mouse model of the neurological defects of IGD which demonstrates a critical role for GPI biosynthesis in cerebellar and white matter development.

First insights into the honey bee (Apis mellifera) brain lipidome and its neonicotinoid-induced alterations associated with reduced self-grooming behavior. J Adv Res 2021; 37:75-89. [PMID: 35499051 PMCID: PMC9039751 DOI: 10.1016/j.jare.2021.08.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2021] [Revised: 07/21/2021] [Accepted: 08/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
First bee brain characterization shows distinctive low plasmalogens and high alkyl-ether levels. PC 20:3e/15:0, PC 16:0/18:3, PA 18:0/24:1 increased by the highest dose of clothianidin. Levels of CL 18:3/18:1/14:0/22:6, TG 6:0/11:2/18:1 and eLPE 18:0e were linked to intense grooming. Membrane lipids, like PC 18:1e/20:3, ePC 8:1e/20:3, and pPE 16:1p/24:1 were up-regulated by clothianidin. Clothianidin exposure up-regulated genes linked to GPI-anchor biosynthesis pathway. Lipids can be used as biomarkers to assess the effect of neurotoxins on behaviors.
Introduction Honey bees (Apis mellifera) play key roles in food production performing complex behaviors, like self-grooming to remove parasites. However, the lipids of their central nervous system have not been examined, even though they likely play a crucial role in the performance of cognitive process to perform intricate behaviors. Lipidomics has greatly advanced our understanding of neuropathologies in mammals and could provide the same for honey bees. Objectives The objectives of this study were to characterize the brain lipidome of adult honey bees and to assess the effect of clothianidin (a neurotoxic insecticide) on the brain lipid composition, gene expression, and performance of self-grooming behavior under controlled conditions (cage experiments). Methods After seven days of exposure to oral sublethal doses of clothianidin, the bees were assessed for self-grooming behavior; their brains were dissected to analyze the lipidome using an untargeted lipidomics approach and to perform a high throughput RNAseq analysis. Results Compared to all other organisms, healthy bee brain lipidomes contain unusually high levels of alkyl-ether linked (plasmanyl) phospholipids (51.42%) and low levels of plasmalogens (plasmenyl phospholipids; 3.46%). This could make it more susceptible to the effects of toxins in the environment. A positive correlation between CL 18:3/18:1/14:0/22:6, TG 6:0/11:2/18:1, LPE 18:0e and intense self-grooming was found. Sublethal doses of a neonicotinoid altered PC 20:3e/15:0, PC 16:0/18:3, PA 18:0/24:1, and TG 18:1/18:1/18/1 levels, and affected gene expression linked to GPI-anchor biosynthesis pathway and energy metabolism that may be partially responsible for the altered lipid composition. Conclusion This study showed that lipidomics can reveal honey bee neuropathologies associated with reduced grooming behavior due to sublethal neonicotinoid exposure. The ease of use, unusual brain lipidome as well as characterized behaviors that are affected by the environment make honey bees a promising model organism for studying the neurolipidome and associations with neurobehavioral disorders.

Abstract
Objective To report longitudinal clinical, EEG, and MRI findings in 2 sisters carrying compound heterozygous ARV1 mutations and exhibiting a peculiar form of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). Neuropathologic features are also described in one of the sisters. Methods Clinical course description, video-EEG polygraphic recordings, brain MRI, skin and muscle biopsies, whole-exome sequencing (WES), and brain neuropathology. Results Since their first months of life, both girls exhibited severe axial hypotonia, visual inattention, dyskinetic movements, severe developmental delay, and slow background EEG activity. Intractable nonmotor seizures started in both at the eighth month of life, exhibiting the electroclinical characteristics of epilepsy of infancy with migrating focal seizures (EIMFS). In the second year of life, continuous epileptiform EEG activity of extremely high amplitude appeared in association with myoclonic status, leading to severely impaired alertness and responsiveness. Repeated brain MRI revealed progressive atrophic changes and severe hypomyelination. WES identified a compound heterozygous in the ARV1 gene [(p.Ser122Glnfs*7) and (p.Trp163*)] in one patient and was subsequently confirmed in the other. Both sisters died prematurely during respiratory infections. Postmortem neuropathologic examination of the brain, performed in one, revealed atrophic brain changes, mainly involving the cerebellum. Conclusions This report confirms that biallelic ARV1 mutations cause a severe form of DEE and adds epilepsy with migrating focal seizures and myoclonic status to the spectrum of epilepsy phenotypes. Considering the potential role of human ARV1 in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor biosynthesis, this severe syndrome can be assigned to the group of inherited GPI deficiency disorders, with which it shares remarkably similar clinical and neuroimaging features. ARV1 should be considered in the genetic screening of individuals with EIMFS.

Abstract
Inherited GPI-anchor biosynthesis deficiencies (IGDs) explain many cases of syndromic intellectual disability. Although diagnostic methods are improving, the pathophysiology underlying the disease remains unclear. Furthermore, we lack rodent models suitable for characterizing cognitive and social disabilities. To address this issue, we generated a viable mouse model for an IGD that mirrors the condition in human patients with a behavioral phenotype and susceptibility to epilepsy. Using this model, we obtained neurological insights such as deficits in synaptic transmission that will facilitate understanding of the pathophysiology of IGDs. Pathogenic germline mutations in PIGV lead to glycosylphosphatidylinositol biosynthesis deficiency (GPIBD). Individuals with pathogenic biallelic mutations in genes of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor pathway exhibit cognitive impairments, motor delay, and often epilepsy. Thus far, the pathophysiology underlying the disease remains unclear, and suitable rodent models that mirror all symptoms observed in human patients have not been available. Therefore, we used CRISPR-Cas9 to introduce the most prevalent hypomorphic missense mutation in European patients, Pigv:c.1022C > A (p.A341E), at a site that is conserved in mice. Mirroring the human pathology, mutant Pigv341E mice exhibited deficits in motor coordination, cognitive impairments, and alterations in sociability and sleep patterns, as well as increased seizure susceptibility. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry revealed reduced synaptophysin immunoreactivity in Pigv341E mice, and electrophysiology recordings showed decreased hippocampal synaptic transmission that could underlie impaired memory formation. In single-cell RNA sequencing, Pigv341E-hippocampal cells exhibited changes in gene expression, most prominently in a subtype of microglia and subicular neurons. A significant reduction in Abl1 transcript levels in several cell clusters suggested a link to the signaling pathway of GPI-anchored ephrins. We also observed elevated levels of Hdc transcripts, which might affect histamine metabolism with consequences for circadian rhythm. This mouse model will not only open the doors to further investigation into the pathophysiology of GPIBD, but will also deepen our understanding of the role of GPI-anchor–related pathways in brain development.

An integrative network analysis framework for identifying molecular functions in complex disorders examining major depressive disorder as a test case. Sci Rep 2021; 11:9645.

Abstract
In addition to the psychological depressive phenotype, major depressive disorder (MDD) patients are also associated with underlying immune dysregulation that correlates with metabolic syndrome prevalent in depressive patients. A robust integrative analysis of biological pathways underlying the dysregulated neural connectivity and systemic inflammatory response will provide implications in the development of effective strategies for the diagnosis, management and the alleviation of associated comorbidities. In the current study, focusing on MDD, we explored an integrative network analysis methodology to analyze transcriptomic data combined with the meta-analysis of biomarker data available throughout public databases and published scientific peer-reviewed articles. Detailed gene set enrichment analysis and complex protein–protein, gene regulatory and biochemical pathway analysis has been undertaken to identify the functional significance and potential biomarker utility of differentially regulated genes, proteins and metabolite markers. This integrative analysis method provides insights into the molecular mechanisms along with key glycosylation dysregulation underlying altered neutrophil-platelet activation and dysregulated neuronal survival maintenance and synaptic functioning. Highlighting the significant gap that exists in the current literature, the network analysis framework proposed reduces the impact of data gaps and permits the identification of key molecular signatures underlying complex disorders with multiple etiologies such as within MDD and presents multiple treatment options to address their molecular dysfunction.

J Cell Biol 2021; 219:211461. [PMID: 33053147 PMCID: PMC7563750 DOI: 10.1083/jcb.202006125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2020] [Revised: 08/09/2020] [Accepted: 09/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Using single-molecule imaging with enhanced time resolutions down to 5 ms, we found that CD59 cluster rafts and GM1 cluster rafts were stably induced in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane (PM), which triggered the activation of Lyn, H-Ras, and ERK and continually recruited Lyn and H-Ras right beneath them in the inner leaflet with dwell lifetimes <0.1 s. The detection was possible due to the enhanced time resolutions employed here. The recruitment depended on the PM cholesterol and saturated alkyl chains of Lyn and H-Ras, whereas it was blocked by the nonraftophilic transmembrane protein moiety and unsaturated alkyl chains linked to the inner-leaflet molecules. Because GM1 cluster rafts recruited Lyn and H-Ras as efficiently as CD59 cluster rafts, and because the protein moieties of Lyn and H-Ras were not required for the recruitment, we conclude that the transbilayer raft phases induced by the outer-leaflet stabilized rafts recruit lipid-anchored signaling molecules by lateral raft-lipid interactions and thus serve as a key signal transduction platform.

Mammalian GPI-anchor modifications and the enzymes involved. Biochem Soc Trans 2021; 48:1129-1138.

Abstract
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) is a glycolipid added to the C-terminus of a large variety of proteins in eukaryotes, thereby anchoring these proteins to the cell surface. More than 150 different human proteins are modified with GPI, and GPI-anchored proteins (GPI-APs) play critical roles in embryogenesis, neurogenesis, immunity, and fertilization. GPI-APs are biosynthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and transported to the plasma membrane via the Golgi apparatus. During transport, GPI-APs undergo structural remodeling that is important for the efficient folding and sorting of GPI-APs. Asparagine-linked glycan-dependent folding and deacylation by PGAP1 work together to ensure that correctly folded GPI-APs are transported from the ER to the Golgi. Remodeling of the GPI lipid moiety is critical for the association of GPI-APs with lipid rafts. On the cell surface, certain GPI-APs are cleaved by GPI cleavage enzymes and released from the membrane, a key event in processes such as spermatogenesis and neurogenesis. In this review, we discuss the enzymes involved in GPI-AP biosynthesis and the fate of GPI-APs in mammalian cells, with a focus on the assembly, folding, degradation, and cleavage of GPI-APs.

Abstract
Posttranslational modification of a protein with glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) is a conserved mechanism exists in all eukaryotes. Thus far, >150 human GPI-anchored proteins have been discovered and ~30 enzymes have been reported to be involved in the biosynthesis and maturation of mammalian GPI. Phosphatidylinositol glycan biosynthesis class A protein (PIGA) catalyzes the very first step of GPI anchor biosynthesis. Patients carrying a mutation of the PIGA gene usually suffer from inherited glycosylphosphatidylinositol deficiency (IGD) with intractable epilepsy and intellectual developmental disorder. We generated three mouse models with PIGA deficits specifically in telencephalon excitatory neurons (Ex-M-cko), inhibitory neurons (In-M-cko) or thalamic neurons (Th-H-cko), respectively. Both Ex-M-cko and In-M-cko mice showed impaired long-term fear memory and were more susceptible to kainic acid-induced seizures. In addition, In-M-cko demonstrated a severe limb-clasping phenotype. Hippocampal synapse changes were observed in Ex-M-cko mice. Our Piga conditional knockout mouse models provide powerful tools to understand the cell-type specific mechanisms underlying inherited GPI deficiency and to test different therapeutic modalities.

Abstract
Trans-synaptic cell-adhesion molecules are critical for governing various stages of synapse development and specifying neural circuit properties via the formation of multifarious signaling pathways. Recent studies have pinpointed the putative roles of trans-synaptic cell-adhesion molecules in mediating various cognitive functions. Here, we review the literature on the roles of a diverse group of central synaptic organizers, including neurexins (Nrxns), leukocyte common antigen-related receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases (LAR-RPTPs), and their associated binding proteins, in regulating properties of specific type of synapses and neural circuits. In addition, we highlight the findings that aberrant synaptic adhesion signaling leads to alterations in the structures, transmission, and plasticity of specific synapses across diverse brain areas. These results seem to suggest that proper trans-synaptic signaling pathways by Nrxns, LAR-RPTPs, and their interacting network is likely to constitute central molecular complexes that form the basis for cognitive functions, and that these complexes are heterogeneously and complexly disrupted in many neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Abstract
DOORS syndrome is characterized by deafness, onychodystrophy, osteodystrophy, intellectual disability, and seizures. In this study, we report two unrelated individuals with DOORS syndrome without deafness. Exome sequencing revealed a homozygous missense variant in PIGF (NM_173074.3:c.515C>G, p.Pro172Arg) in both. We demonstrate impaired glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) biosynthesis through flow cytometry analysis. We thus describe the causal role of a novel disease gene, PIGF, in DOORS syndrome and highlight the overlap between this condition and GPI deficiency disorders. For each gene implicated in DOORS syndrome and/or inherited GPI deficiencies, there is considerable clinical variability so a high index of suspicion is warranted even though not all features are noted.

Abstract
Accumulating evidences suggest that amyloid β (Aβ)-peptide plays a key role in pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) through aggregation and deposition into plaques in neuronal cells. Membrane components such as cholesterol and gangliosides not only enhance the production of amyloidogenic Aβ fragments, but also appear to strengthen Aβ-membrane interaction. Ginsenoside Rb1 (GRb1) is a major active component of Panax, which is widely used to improve learning and memory. In the present study, whether ginsenoside Rb1 could protect pheochromocytoma cells (PC12 cells) from Aβ25-35-induced cytotoxicity including inhibiting cell growth, inducing apoptosis, producing reactive oxygen species (ROS), destroying the cytoskeleton and bringing about membrane toxicity was investigated. Our results indicated that ginsenoside Rb1 could serve as an agonist of peroxisom proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) and reduce the level of cholesterol in AD model cells. Reduction of the Aβ25-35-induced cytotoxicity by lowering cholesterol was evidenced by reduction of ROS production, lipid peroxidation, and protection of cytoskeleton and membrane surface rigidity. Most importantly, the viability of PC12 cells increased from 50.42 ± 5.51% for the AD group to 102.72 ± 4.34% for the 50 μM ginsenoside Rb1 group with cholesterol reduction. Our results suggested that ginsenoside Rb1 might function as an effective candidate to promote reverse cholesterol transport and lower ROS production, therefore providing a new insight into prevention and treatment of AD.

Abstract
Significance: Selenoproteins incorporate the essential nutrient selenium into their polypeptide chain. Seven members of this family reside in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the exact function of most of which is poorly understood. Especially, how ER-resident selenoproteins control the ER redox and ionic environment is largely unknown. Since alteration of ER function is observed in many diseases, the elucidation of the role of selenoproteins could enhance our understanding of the mechanisms involved in ER homeostasis. Recent Advances: Among selenoproteins, selenoprotein T (SELENOT) is remarkable as the most evolutionarily conserved and the only ER-resident selenoprotein whose gene knockout in mouse is lethal. Recent data indicate that SELENOT contributes to ER homeostasis: reduced expression of SELENOT in transgenic cell and animal models promotes accumulation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, depletion of calcium stores, activation of the unfolded protein response and impaired hormone secretion. Critical Issues: SELENOT is anchored to the ER membrane and associated with the oligosaccharyltransferase complex, suggesting that it regulates the early steps of N-glycosylation. Furthermore, it exerts a selenosulfide oxidoreductase activity carried by its thioredoxin-like domain. However, the physiological role of the redox activity of SELENOT is not fully understood. Likewise, the nature of its redox partners needs to be further characterized. Future Directions: Given the impact of ER stress in pathologies such as neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, metabolic and immune diseases, understanding the role of SELENOT and developing derived therapeutic tools such as selenopeptides to improve ER proteostasis and prevent ER stress could contribute to a better management of these diseases.

Abstract
Neurexins (Nrxns) and LAR-RPTPs (leukocyte common antigen-related protein tyrosine phosphatases) are presynaptic adhesion proteins responsible for organizing presynaptic machineries through interactions with nonoverlapping extracellular ligands. Here, we report that two members of the LAR-RPTP family, PTPσ and PTPδ, are required for the presynaptogenic activity of Nrxns. Intriguingly, Nrxn1 and PTPσ require distinct sets of intracellular proteins for the assembly of specific presynaptic terminals. In addition, Nrxn1α showed robust heparan sulfate (HS)-dependent, high-affinity interactions with Ig domains of PTPσ that were regulated by the splicing status of PTPσ. Furthermore, Nrxn1α WT, but not a Nrxn1α mutant lacking HS moieties (Nrxn1α ΔHS), inhibited postsynapse-inducing activity of PTPσ at excitatory, but not inhibitory, synapses. Similarly, cis expression of Nrxn1α WT, but not Nrxn1α ΔHS, suppressed the PTPσ-mediated maintenance of excitatory postsynaptic specializations in mouse cultured hippocampal neurons. Lastly, genetics analyses using male or female Drosophila Dlar and Dnrx mutant larvae identified epistatic interactions that control synapse formation and synaptic transmission at neuromuscular junctions. Our results suggest a novel synaptogenesis model whereby different presynaptic adhesion molecules combine with distinct regulatory codes to orchestrate specific synaptic adhesion pathways.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT We provide evidence supporting the physical interactions of neurexins with leukocyte common-antigen related receptor tyrosine phosphatases (LAR-RPTPs). The availability of heparan sulfates and alternative splicing of LAR-RPTPs regulate the binding affinity of these interactions. A set of intracellular presynaptic proteins is involved in common for Nrxn- and LAR-RPTP-mediated presynaptic assembly. PTPσ triggers glutamatergic and GABAergic postsynaptic differentiation in an alternative splicing-dependent manner, whereas Nrxn1α induces GABAergic postsynaptic differentiation in an alternative splicing-independent manner. Strikingly, Nrxn1α inhibits the glutamatergic postsynapse-inducing activity of PTPσ, suggesting that PTPσ and Nrxn1α might control recruitment of a different pool of postsynaptic machinery. Drosophila orthologs of Nrxns and LAR-RPTPs mediate epistatic interactions in controlling synapse structure and strength at neuromuscular junctions, underscoring the physiological significance in vivo.

Abstract
Distinguishing neuropsychiatric disorders is challenging due to the overlap in symptoms and genetic risk factors. People suffering from these disorders face personal and professional challenges. Understanding the dysregulation of brain metabolism under disease condition can aid in effective diagnosis and in developing treatment strategies based on the metabolism. In this study, we reconstructed the metabolic network of three major neuropsychiatric disorders, schizophrenia (SCZ), bipolar disorder (BD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) using transcriptomic data and constrained based modelling approach. We integrated brain transcriptomic data from six independent studies with a recent comprehensive genome-scale metabolic model Recon3D. The analysis of the reconstructed network revealed the flux-level alterations in the peroxisome-mitochondria-golgi axis in neuropsychiatric disorders. We also extracted reporter metabolites and pathways that distinguish these three neuropsychiatric disorders. We found differences with respect to fatty acid oxidation, aromatic and branched chain amino acid metabolism, bile acid synthesis, glycosaminoglycans synthesis and modifications, and phospholipid metabolism. Further, we predicted network perturbations that transform the disease metabolic state to a healthy metabolic state for each disorder. These analyses provide local and global views of the metabolic changes in SCZ, BD and MDD, which may have clinical implications.

Abstract
Limbic system associated membrane protein (Lsamp) is a neural adhesion protein which has been recently found to be differentially expressed between serotonergic neuron subtypes. We have previously shown elevated serotonin (5-HT) turnover rate in Lsamp-deficient mice. The purpose of the current study was to elucidate the role of Lsamp in serotonergic neurotransmission. Chronic (18 days) administration of serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) escitalopram (10 mg/kg) significantly increased general activity in wild-type mice in the open field and protected exploration in Lsamp-/- mice in the elevated-plus maze. An important psychopathology-related endophenotype, elevated 5-HT turnover in the brain of Lsamp-deficient mice, was reproduced in the saline group. Escitalopram restored the elevated 5-HT turnover of Lsamp-deficient mice to a level comparable with their wild-type littermates, suggesting that high 5-HT turnover in mutants is mediated by the increased activity of serotonin transporter (SERT protein encoded by Slc6a4 gene). The baseline level of Slc6a4 transcript was not changed in Lsamp-deficient mice, however, our immunohistochemical analysis showed partial co-expression of Lsamp with both SERT and Tph2 proteins in raphe. Overactivity of SERT in Lsamp-/- mice is further supported by significant elevation of Maoa transcript and increase of DOPAC, another Mao A product, specifically in the raphe. Again, elevation of DOPAC was reduced to the level of wild-type by chronic SSRI treatment. The activity of Lsamp gene promoters varied in 5-HT producing nuclei: both Lsamp 1a and 1b promoters were active in the dorsal raphe; most of the expression in the median raphe was from 1b promoter, whereas Lsamp 1a promoter was almost exclusively active in the caudal subgroup of raphe nuclei. We suggest that Lsamp may have an impact on the integrity of serotonergic synapses, which is possibly the neurochemical basis of the anxiety- and sociability-related phenotype in Lsamp-deficient mice.

Abstract
Objective To describe clinical, biochemical, and molecular genetic findings in a large inbred family in which 4 children with a severe early-onset epileptic-dyskinetic encephalopathy, with suppression burst EEG, harbored homozygous mutations of phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class P (PIGP), a member of the large glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor biosynthesis gene family. Methods We studied clinical features, EEG, brain MRI scans, whole-exome sequencing (WES), and measured the expression of a subset of GPI-anchored proteins (GPI-APs) in circulating granulocytes using flow cytometry. Results The 4 affected children exhibited a severe neurodevelopmental disorder featuring severe hypotonia with early dyskinesia progressing to quadriplegia, associated with infantile spasms, focal, tonic, and tonic-clonic seizures and a burst suppression EEG pattern. Two of the children died prematurely between age 2 and 12 years; the remaining 2 children are aged 2 years 7 months and 7 years 4 months. The homozygous c.384del variant of PIGP, present in the 4 patients, introduces a frame shift 6 codons before the expected stop signal and is predicted to result in the synthesis of a protein longer than the wild type, with impaired functionality. We demonstrated a reduced expression of the GPI-AP CD16 in the granulocytic membrane in affected individuals. Conclusions PIGP mutations are consistently associated with an epileptic-dyskinetic encephalopathy with the features of early infantile epileptic encephalopathy with profound disability and premature death. CD16 is a valuable marker to support a genetic diagnosis of inherited GPI deficiencies.

Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia in the elderly, which is characterized by progressive cognitive impairment. Neuritic plaques, neurofibrillary tangles and neuronal loss are the major neuropathological hallmarks in AD brains. TMP21 is a key molecule for protein trafficking in cells. Growing evidence indicates that TMP21 is dysregulated in AD, which plays a pivotal role in neuritic plaque formation. Therefore, we aim to review the dysregulation of TMP21 in AD, the role of TMP21 in neuritic plaque formation and underlying mechanisms. Moreover, the potential role of TMP21 in neurofibrillary tangle formation, synaptic impairment and neuronal loss is discussed. It will provide an outlook into the potential of regulating TMP21 as a therapeutic approach for AD treatment.

Abstract
Netrin-G ligand-3 (NGL-3) is a postsynaptic adhesion molecule known to directly interact with the excitatory postsynaptic scaffolding protein postsynaptic density-95 (PSD-95) and trans-synaptically with leukocyte common antigen-related (LAR) family receptor tyrosine phosphatases to regulate presynaptic differentiation. Although NGL-3 has been implicated in the regulation of excitatory synapse development by in vitro studies, whether it regulates synapse development or function, or any other features of brain development and function, is not known. Here, we report that mice lacking NGL-3 (Ngl3−/− mice) show markedly suppressed normal brain development and postnatal survival and growth. A change of the genetic background of mice from pure to hybrid minimized these developmental effects but modestly suppressed N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor (NMDAR)-mediated synaptic transmission in the hippocampus without affecting synapse development, α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor (AMPAR)-mediated basal transmission, and presynaptic release. Intriguingly, long-term depression (LTD) was near-completely abolished in Ngl3−/− mice, and the Akt/glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) signaling pathway, known to suppress LTD, was abnormally enhanced. In addition, pharmacological inhibition of Akt, but not activation of NMDARs, normalized the suppressed LTD in Ngl3−/− mice, suggesting that Akt hyperactivity suppresses LTD. Ngl3−/− mice displayed several behavioral abnormalities, including hyperactivity, anxiolytic-like behavior, impaired spatial memory, and enhanced seizure susceptibility. Among them, the hyperactivity was rapidly improved by pharmacological NMDAR activation. These results suggest that NGL-3 regulates brain development, Akt/GSK3β signaling, LTD, and locomotive and cognitive behaviors.

NGL-1/LRRC4C Deletion Moderately Suppresses Hippocampal Excitatory Synapse Development and Function in an Input-Independent Manner. Front Mol Neurosci 2019; 12:119.

Abstract
Netrin-G ligand-1 (NGL-1), also known as LRRC4C, is a postsynaptic densities (PSDs)-95-interacting postsynaptic adhesion molecule that interacts trans-synaptically with presynaptic netrin-G1. NGL-1 and its family member protein NGL-2 are thought to promote excitatory synapse development through largely non-overlapping neuronal pathways. While NGL-2 is critical for excitatory synapse development in specific dendritic segments of neurons in an input-specific manner, whether NGL-1 has similar functions is unclear. Here, we show that Lrrc4c deletion in male mice moderately suppresses excitatory synapse development and function, but surprisingly, does so in an input-independent manner. While NGL-1 is mainly detected in the stratum lacunosum moleculare (SLM) layer of the hippocampus relative to the stratum radiatum (SR) layer, NGL-1 deletion leads to decreases in the number of PSDs in both SLM and SR layers in the ventral hippocampus. In addition, both SLM and SR excitatory synapses display suppressed short-term synaptic plasticity in the ventral hippocampus. These morphological and functional changes are either absent or modest in the dorsal hippocampus. The input-independent synaptic changes induced by Lrrc4c deletion involve abnormal translocation of NGL-2 from the SR to SLM layer. These results suggest that Lrrc4c deletion moderately suppresses hippocampal excitatory synapse development and function in an input-independent manner.

Abstract
Although the mechanisms underlying prion propagation and infectivity are now well established, the processes accounting for prion toxicity and pathogenesis have remained mysterious. These processes are of enormous clinical relevance as they hold the key to identification of new molecular targets for therapeutic intervention. In this review, we will discuss two broad areas of investigation relevant to understanding prion neurotoxicity. The first is the use of in vitro experimental systems that model key events in prion pathogenesis. In this context, we will describe a hippocampal neuronal culture system we developed that reproduces the earliest pathological alterations in synaptic morphology and function in response to PrPSc . This system has allowed us to define a core synaptotoxic signaling pathway involving the activation of NMDA and AMPA receptors, stimulation of p38 MAPK phosphorylation and collapse of the actin cytoskeleton in dendritic spines. The second area concerns a striking and unexpected phenomenon in which certain structural manipulations of the PrPC molecule itself, including introduction of N-terminal deletion mutations or binding of antibodies to C-terminal epitopes, unleash powerful toxic effects in cultured cells and transgenic mice. We will describe our studies of this phenomenon, which led to the recognition that it is related to the induction of large, abnormal ionic currents by the structurally altered PrP molecules. Our results suggest a model in which the flexible N-terminal domain of PrPC serves as a toxic effector which is regulated by intramolecular interactions with the globular C-terminal domain. Taken together, these two areas of study have provided important clues to underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms of prion neurotoxicity. Nevertheless, much remains to be done on this next frontier of prion science.

Abstract
Abnormalities of posttranslational protein modifications (PTMs) have recently been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Glycosylphosphatidylinositols (GPIs) are a class of complex glycolipids, which anchor surface proteins and glycoproteins to the cell membrane. GPI attachment to proteins represents one of the most common PTMs and GPI-associated proteins (GPI-APs) facilitate many cell surface processes, including synapse development and maintenance. Mutations in the GPI processing pathway are associated with intellectual disability, emphasizing the potential role of GPI-APs in cognition and schizophrenia-associated cognitive dysfunction. As initial endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein processing is essential for GPI-AP function, we measured protein expression of molecules involved in attachment (GPAA1), modification (PGAP1), and ER export (Tmp21) of GPI-APs, in homogenates and in an ER enriched fraction derived from dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) of 15 matched pairs of schizophrenia and comparison subjects. In total homogenate we found a significant decrease in transmembrane protein 21 (Tmp21) and in the ER-enriched fraction we found reduced expression of post-GPI attachment protein (PGAP1). PGAP1 modifies GPI-anchors through inositol deacylation, allowing it to be recognized by Tmp21. Tmp21 is a component of the p24 complex that recognizes GPI-anchored proteins, senses the status of the GPI-anchor, and regulates incorporation into COPII vesicles for export to the Golgi apparatus. Together, these proteins are the molecular mechanisms underlying GPI-AP quality control and ER export. To investigate the potential consequences of a deficit in export and/or quality control, we measured cell membrane-associated expression of known GPI-APs that have been previously implicated in schizophrenia, including GPC1, NCAM, MDGA2, and EPHA1, using Triton X-114 phase separation. Additionally, we tested the sensitivity of those candidate proteins to phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC), an enzyme that cleaves GPI from GPI-APs. While we did not observe a difference in the amount of these GPI-APs in Triton X-114 phase separated membrane fractions, we found decreased NCAM and GPC1 within the PI-PLC sensitive fraction. These findings suggest dysregulation of ER-associated GPI-AP protein processing, with impacts on post-translational modifications of proteins previously implicated in schizophrenia such as NCAM and GPC1. These findings provide evidence for a deficit in ER protein processing pathways in this illness.

Abstract
The presynaptic active zone, composed of evolutionarily conserved protein complexes, is a specialized area that serves to orchestrate precise and efficient neurotransmitter release by organizing various presynaptic proteins involved in mediating docking and priming of synaptic vesicles, recruiting voltage-gated calcium channels, and modulating presynaptic nerve terminals with aligned postsynaptic structures. Among membrane proteins localized to active zone, presynaptic neurexins and LAR-RPTPs (leukocyte common antigen-related receptor tyrosine phosphatase) have emerged as hubs that orchestrate both shared and distinct extracellular synaptic adhesion pathways. In this chapter, we discuss intracellular signaling cascades involved in recruiting various intracellular proteins at both excitatory and inhibitory synaptic sites. In particular, we highlight recent studies on key active zone proteins that physically and functionally link these cascades with neurexins and LAR-RPTPs in both vertebrate and invertebrate model systems. These studies allow us to build a general, universal view of how presynaptic active zones operate together with postsynaptic structures in neural circuits.
