C-Terminal Region Truncation of RELN Disrupts an Interaction with VLDLR, Causing Abnormal Development of the Cerebral Cortex and Hippocampus
16 Dec 2016
Abstract excerpt
We discovered a hypomorphicreelin(Reln) mutant with abnormal cortical lamination and no cerebellar hypoplasia. This mutant,RelnCTRdel, carries a chemically induced splice-site mutation that truncates the C-terminal region (CTR) domain of RELN protein and displays remarkably distinct phenotypes fromreeler. The mutant does not have an inverted cortex, but cortical neurons overmigrate and invade the marginal zone,...
