Roles and mechanisms of ankyrin-G in neuropsychiatric disorders
Yoon Sehyoun,Piguel Nicolas H.,Penzes Peter 생화학분자생물학회 2022 Experimental and molecular medicine Vol.54 No.-
Ankyrin proteins act as molecular scaffolds and play an essential role in regulating cellular functions. Recent evidence has implicated the ANK3 gene, encoding ankyrin-G, in bipolar disorder (BD), schizophrenia (SZ), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Within neurons, ankyrin-G plays an important role in localizing proteins to the axon initial segment and nodes of Ranvier or to the dendritic shaft and spines. In this review, we describe the expression patterns of ankyrin-G isoforms, which vary according to the stage of brain development, and consider their functional differences. Furthermore, we discuss how posttranslational modifications of ankyrin-G affect its protein expression, interactions, and subcellular localization. Understanding these mechanisms leads us to elucidate potential pathways of pathogenesis in neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders, including BD, SZ, and ASD, which are caused by rare pathogenic mutations or changes in the expression levels of ankyrin-G in the brain.

<P><B>Significance</B></P><P>In this paper, we characterize, for the first time to our knowledge, synaptic phenotypes in contactin associated protein-like 2 (<I>Cntnap2</I>) knockout neurons and reveal a novel role for CNTNAP2 in the correct trafficking of AMPA-type glutamate receptors. In addition, we report that cellular phenotypes emerge late in postnatal development, suggesting a mechanism for the apparent late emergence of some <I>CNTNAP2</I>-associated disorders. Taken together, our findings may provide insight into the mechanism underlying pathogenesis of <I>CNTNAP2</I>-associated neuropsychiatric disorders.</P><P>Central glutamatergic synapses and the molecular pathways that control them are emerging as common substrates in the pathogenesis of mental disorders. Genetic variation in the contactin associated protein-like 2 (<I>CNTNAP2</I>) gene, including copy number variations, exon deletions, truncations, single nucleotide variants, and polymorphisms have been associated with intellectual disability, epilepsy, schizophrenia, language disorders, and autism. CNTNAP2, encoded by <I>Cntnap2</I>, is required for dendritic spine development and its absence causes disease-related phenotypes in mice. However, the mechanisms whereby CNTNAP2 regulates glutamatergic synapses are not known, and cellular phenotypes have not been investigated in <I>Cntnap2</I> knockout neurons. Here we show that CNTNAP2 is present in dendritic spines, as well as axons and soma. Structured illumination superresolution microscopy reveals closer proximity to excitatory, rather than inhibitory synaptic markers. CNTNAP2 does not promote the formation of synapses and cultured neurons from <I>Cntnap2</I> knockout mice do not show early defects in axon and dendrite outgrowth, suggesting that CNTNAP2 is not required at this stage. However, mature neurons from knockout mice show reduced spine density and levels of GluA1 subunits of AMPA receptors in spines. Unexpectedly, knockout neurons show large cytoplasmic aggregates of GluA1. Here we characterize, for the first time to our knowledge, synaptic phenotypes in <I>Cntnap2</I> knockout neurons and reveal a novel role for CNTNAP2 in GluA1 trafficking. Taken together, our findings provide insight into the biological roles of CNTNAP2 and into the pathogenesis of <I>CNTNAP2</I>-associated neuropsychiatric disorders.</P>

This study investigates the role of consumers’ value orientations on their attitude towards assertive green advertisements. We find that biospheric value orientation improves attitudes towards assertive ads and hedonic value orientation positively affects consumers’ perceived threat to their freedom. Besides, the study supports the role of assertiveness in persuasive communication.
