Here we profiled 251 samples from 11 monogenic mouse models of ASD using single-nucleus multi-omic sequencing across three developmental stages, both sexes and two brain regions. Despite genetic heterogeneity, ASD-linked mutations converged on perturbations of the radial glial cell lineage. These alterations reflect a transient developmental delay rather than lasting lineage misspecification and resolve by postnatal stages. Molecularly, the largest transcriptional differences emerged in neurons at early postnatal stages. These changes included downregulation of synaptic and ion channel-related genes, consistent with homeostatic adaptation or delayed maturation. Network analysis showed molecular convergence across models within each developmental stage, suggesting that diverse mutations linked to ASD impinge on common, stage-specific processes. Convergence becomes less pronounced by postnatal day 14, highlighting the dynamic nature of ASD-associated changes. Cross-genotype heterogeneity is superimposed on stage-specific effects. Electrophysiology corroborated this pattern: mutants generally showed altered neuronal excitability and synaptic properties with model-specific nuances. Our study also highlighted sex-specific gene expression alterations, with female mice often displaying larger effect sizes than male mice. Together, our findings provide a comprehensive view of developmental cellular and molecular dynamics across models of ASD.' acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: LifeSc acknowledgement: We thank F.

How spinal circuits and their cell types evolved to support this transition remains unclear. We leverage frog metamorphosis, which recapitulates this transition within a single organism, to define how spinal circuits generate aquatic versus terrestrial motor patterns. At swim stages, spinal architecture is uniform, with a transcriptionally and anatomically homogeneous motor and interneurons. As limbs develop and their movement complexifies, spinal circuits expand in neuron number and subtype diversity. This expansion is most pronounced for V1 inhibitory neurons, which increase ∼70-fold and diversify into transcriptionally distinct subtypes. Disrupting transcription factors defining emerging motor and V1 populations reveals molecular segregation between swim and limb circuits, highlighting the role of subtype diversity in motor coordination. A multifold increase in inhibitory neuron diversity thus underlies the tail-to-limb locomotor transition, providing a framework for spinal circuit adaptation during vertebrate evolution. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: LifeSc acknowledgement: 'We would like to thank the members of the Sweeney Lab, Mario de Bono, Michael Forsthofer, Katharina Lust, and Meital Oren, for comments on the manuscript.

Nevertheless, they have yet to attain widespread use in plants, largely due to plants’ challenging optical properties. Expansion microscopy improves effective resolution by isotropically increasing the physical distances between sample structures while preserving relative spatial arrangements and clearing the sample. However, its application to plants has been hindered by the rigid, mechanically cohesive structure of plant tissues. Here, we report on whole-mount expansion microscopy of thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana) root tissues (PlantEx), achieving a four-fold resolution increase over conventional microscopy. Our results highlight the microtubule cytoskeleton organization and interaction between molecularly defined cellular constituents. Combining PlantEx with stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy, we increase nanoscale resolution and visualize the complex organization of subcellular organelles from intact tissues by example of the densely packed COPI-coated vesicles associated with the Golgi apparatus and put these into a cellular structural context. Our results show that expansion microscopy can be applied to increase effective imaging resolution in Arabidopsis root specimens.

Mapping neurons and resolving their individual synaptic connections can be achieved by volumetric imaging at nanoscale resolution1,2 with dense cellular labelling. Light microscopy is uniquely positioned to visualize specific molecules, but dense, synapse-level circuit reconstruction by light microscopy has been out of reach, owing to limitations in resolution, contrast and volumetric imaging capability. Here we describe light-microscopy-based connectomics (LICONN). We integrated specifically engineered hydrogel embedding and expansion with comprehensive deep-learning-based segmentation and analysis of connectivity, thereby directly incorporating molecular information into synapse-level reconstructions of brain tissue. LICONN will allow synapse-level phenotyping of brain tissue in biological experiments in a readily adoptable manner. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: LifeSc - _id: ScienComp - _id: PreCl - _id: M-Shop - _id: E-Lib acknowledgement: 'We thank S.

Here we take advantage of frog metamorphosis, which captures a swim-to-limb-based movement transformation during the development of a single organism, to explore changes in the underlying spinal circuits. We find that the tadpole spinal cord contains small and largely homogeneous populations of motor neurons (MNs) and V1 interneurons (V1s) at early escape swimming stages. These neuronal populations only modestly increase in number and subtype heterogeneity with the emergence of free swimming. In contrast, during frog metamorphosis and the emergence of limb movement, there is a dramatic expansion of MN and V1 interneuron number and transcriptional heterogeneity, culminating in cohorts of neurons that exhibit striking molecular similarity to mammalian motor circuits. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene disruption of the limb MN and V1 determinants FoxP1 and Engrailed-1, respectively, results in severe but selective deficits in tail and limb function. Our work thus demonstrates that neural diversity scales exponentially with increasing behavioral complexity and illustrates striking evolutionary conservation in the molecular organization and function of motor circuits across species. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio acknowledgement: "We would like to thank the members of the Sweeney Lab (especially Stavros Papadopoulos and\r\nSophie Gobeil) for their contributions to this project and, in addition to the lab, Graziana Gatto\r\nand Mario de Bono, for discussion, and support.

Super-resolution optical microscopy excels at visualizing specific molecules and individual cells but fails to provide tissue context. Here we developed Comprehensive Analysis of Tissues across Scales (CATS), a technology to densely map brain tissue architecture from millimeter regional to nanometer synaptic scales in diverse chemically fixed brain preparations, including rodent and human. CATS uses fixation-compatible extracellular labeling and optical imaging, including stimulated emission depletion or expansion microscopy, to comprehensively delineate cellular structures. It enables three-dimensional reconstruction of single synapses and mapping of synaptic connectivity by identification and analysis of putative synaptic cleft regions. Applying CATS to the mouse hippocampal mossy fiber circuitry, we reconstructed and quantified the synaptic input and output structure of identified neurons. We furthermore demonstrate applicability to clinically derived human tissue samples, including formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded routine diagnostic specimens, for visualizing the cellular architecture of brain tissue in health and disease. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: ScienComp - _id: Bio - _id: PreCl - _id: LifeSc - _id: M-Shop - _id: E-Lib acknowledgement: 'We thank J.

However, simultaneous imaging of multiple fluorophores can result in spectral leaks and overlapping, which greatly degrades image quality and subsequent analysis. Existing popular spectral unmixing methods are mainly based on computational intensive linear models and the performance is heavily dependent on the reference spectra, which may greatly preclude its further applications. In this paper, we propose a deep learning-based blindly spectral unmixing method, termed AutoUnmix, to imitate the physical spectral mixing process. A tranfer learning framework is further devised to allow our AutoUnmix adapting to a variety of imaging systems without retraining the network. Our proposed method has demonstrated real-time unmixing capabilities, surpassing existing methods by up to 100-fold in terms of unmixing speed. We further validate the reconstruction performance on both synthetic datasets and biological samples. The unmixing results of AutoUnmix achieve a highest SSIM of 0.99 in both three- and four-color imaging, with nearly up to 20% higher than other popular unmixing methods. Due to the desirable property of data independency and superior blind unmixing performance, we believe AutoUnmix is a powerful tool to study the interaction process of different organelles labeled by multiple fluorophores. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: LifeSc - _id: M-Shop - _id: E-Lib acknowledgement: "We gratefully acknowledge support by the Scientific Service Units at ISTA, including the Imaging and Optics and Lab Support facilities and the mechanical workshop and Library.

Mapping neurons and resolving their individual synaptic connections can be achieved by volumetric imaging at nanoscale resolution with dense cellular labeling. Light microscopy is uniquely positioned to visualize specific molecules but dense, synapse-level circuit reconstruction by light microscopy has been out of reach due to limitations in resolution, contrast, and volumetric imaging capability. Here we developed light-microscopy based connectomics (LICONN).

Here, we identify a positive mechanical feedback loop between cell migration and IF relocalization and find that it promotes embryonic axis formation during zebrafish gastrulation. We show that anterior axial mesendoderm (prechordal plate [ppl]) cells, moving in between the yolk cell and deep cell tissue to extend the embryonic axis, compress the overlying deep cell layer, thereby causing IF to flow from the deep cell layer to the boundary between the yolk cell and the deep cell layer, directly ahead of the advancing ppl. This IF relocalization, in turn, facilitates ppl cell protrusion formation and migration by opening up the space into which the ppl moves and, thereby, the ability of the ppl to trigger IF relocalization by pushing against the overlying deep cell layer. Thus, embryonic axis formation relies on a hydraulic feedback loop between cell migration and IF relocalization. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: PreCl - _id: Bio acknowledgement: We thank Andrea Pauli (IMP) and Edouard Hannezo (ISTA) for fruitful discussions and support with the SPIM experiments; the Heisenberg group, and especially Feyza Nur Arslan and Alexandra Schauer, for discussions and feedback; Michaela Jović (ISTA) for help with the quantitative real-time PCR protocol; the bioimaging and zebrafish facilities of ISTA for continuous support; Stephan Preibisch (Janelia Research Campus) for support with the SPIM data analysis; and Nobuhiro Nakamura (Tokyo Institute of Technology) for sharing α1-Na+/K+-ATPase antibody.

Here we solved these challenges by developing an integrated optical/machine-learning technology, LIONESS (live information-optimized nanoscopy enabling saturated segmentation). This leverages optical modifications to stimulated emission depletion microscopy in comprehensively, extracellularly labeled tissue and previous information on sample structure via machine learning to simultaneously achieve isotropic super-resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio and compatibility with living tissue. This allows dense deep-learning-based instance segmentation and 3D reconstruction at a synapse level, incorporating molecular, activity and morphodynamic information. LIONESS opens up avenues for studying the dynamic functional (nano-)architecture of living brain tissue. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: ScienComp - _id: Bio - _id: PreCl - _id: E-Lib - _id: LifeSc - _id: M-Shop acknowledgement: "We thank J.

Therefore, it is critical to study biological structures in 3D and at high resolution to gain insights into their physiological functions. Electron microscopy of metal replicas of unroofed cells and isolated organelles has been a key technique to visualize intracellular structures at nanometer resolution. However, many of these methods require specialized equipment and personnel to complete them. Here, we present novel accessible methods to analyze biological structures in unroofed cells and biochemically isolated organelles in 3D and at nanometer resolution, focusing on Arabidopsis clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs). While CCVs are essential trafficking organelles, their detailed structural information is lacking due to their poor preservation when observed via classical electron microscopy protocols experiments. First, we establish a method to visualize CCVs in unroofed cells using scanning transmission electron microscopy tomography, providing sufficient resolution to define the clathrin coat arrangements. Critically, the samples are prepared directly on electron microscopy grids, removing the requirement to use extremely corrosive acids, thereby enabling the use of this method in any electron microscopy lab. Secondly, we demonstrate that this standardized sample preparation allows the direct comparison of isolated CCV samples with those visualized in cells. Finally, to facilitate the high-throughput and robust screening of metal replicated samples, we provide a deep learning analysis method to screen the “pseudo 3D” morphologies of CCVs imaged with 2D modalities. Collectively, our work establishes accessible ways to examine the 3D structure of biological samples and provide novel insights into the structure of plant CCVs. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: EM-Fac - _id: LifeSc - _id: Bio acknowledgement: A.J. is supported by funding from the Austrian Science Fund I3630B25 (to J.F.).

Cortical layers emerge during development and defects in the developmental programs that orchestrate cortical lamination are associated with neurodevelopmental diseases. The developmental principle of cortical layer formation depends on concerted radial projection neuron migration, from their birthplace to their final target position. Radial migration occurs in defined sequential steps, regulated by a large array of signaling pathways. However, based on genetic loss-of-function experiments, most studies have thus far focused on the role of cell-autonomous gene function. Yet, cortical neuron migration in situ is a complex process and migrating neurons traverse along diverse cellular compartments and environments. The role of tissue-wide properties and genetic state in radial neuron migration is however not clear. Here we utilized mosaic analysis with double markers (MADM) technology to either sparsely or globally delete gene function, followed by quantitative single-cell phenotyping. The MADM-based gene ablation paradigms in combination with computational modeling demonstrated that global tissue-wide effects predominate cell-autonomous gene function albeit in a gene-specific manner. Our results thus suggest that the genetic landscape in a tissue critically affects the overall migration phenotype of individual cortical projection neurons. In a broader context, our findings imply that global tissue-wide effects represent an essential component of the underlying etiology associated with focal malformations of cortical development in particular, and neurological diseases in general. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: LifeSc - _id: PreCl - _id: Bio acknowledgement: "A.H.H. was a recipient of a DOC Fellowship (24812) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

While its phenotypic spectrum often encompasses macrocephaly, implicating cortical abnormalities, how CHD8 haploinsufficiency affects neurodevelopmental is unclear. Here, employing human cerebral organoids, we find that CHD8 haploinsufficiency disrupted neurodevelopmental trajectories with an accelerated and delayed generation of, respectively, inhibitory and excitatory neurons that yields, at days 60 and 120, symmetrically opposite expansions in their proportions. This imbalance is consistent with an enlargement of cerebral organoids as an in vitro correlate of patients’ macrocephaly. Through an isogenic design of patient-specific mutations and mosaic organoids, we define genotype-phenotype relationships and uncover their cell-autonomous nature. Our results define cell-type-specific CHD8-dependent molecular defects related to an abnormal program of proliferation and alternative splicing. By identifying cell-type-specific effects of CHD8 mutations, our study uncovers reproducible developmental alterations that may be employed for neurodevelopmental disease modeling. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: LifeSc acknowledgement: We thank Farnaz Freeman for technical assistance.

FtsA is thought to initiate cell constriction by switching from an inactive polymeric to an active monomeric conformation, which recruits downstream proteins and stabilizes the Z-ring. However, direct biochemical evidence for this mechanism is missing. Here, we use reconstitution experiments and quantitative fluorescence microscopy to study divisome activation in vitro. By comparing wild-type FtsA with FtsA R286W, we find that this hyperactive mutant outperforms FtsA WT in replicating FtsZ treadmilling dynamics, FtsZ filament stabilization and recruitment of FtsN. We could attribute these differences to a faster exchange and denser packing of FtsA R286W below FtsZ filaments. Using FRET microscopy, we also find that FtsN binding promotes FtsA self-interaction. We propose that in the active divisome FtsA and FtsN exist as a dynamic copolymer that follows treadmilling filaments of FtsZ. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: LifeSc acknowledgement: We acknowledge members of the Loose laboratory at IST Austria for helpful discussions—in particular L.

For understanding how the network is structured, processes information, and changes over time, comprehensive visualization of the architecture of living brain tissue with its cellular and molecular components would open up major opportunities. However, electron microscopy (EM) provides nanometre-scale resolution required for full in-silico reconstruction1–5, yet is limited to fixed specimens and static representations. Light microscopy allows live observation, with super-resolution approaches6–12 facilitating nanoscale visualization, but comprehensive 3D-reconstruction of living brain tissue has been hindered by tissue photo-burden, photobleaching, insufficient 3D-resolution, and inadequate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Here we demonstrate saturated reconstruction of living brain tissue. We developed an integrated imaging and analysis technology, adapting stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy6,13 in extracellularly labelled tissue14 for high SNR and near-isotropic resolution. Centrally, a two-stage deep-learning approach leveraged previously obtained information on sample structure to drastically reduce photo-burden and enable automated volumetric reconstruction down to single synapse level. Live reconstruction provides unbiased analysis of tissue architecture across time in relation to functional activity and targeted activation, and contextual understanding of molecular labelling. This adoptable technology will facilitate novel insights into the dynamic functional architecture of living brain tissue. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Philipp full_name: Velicky, Philipp id: 39BDC62C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Velicky orcid: 0000-0002-2340-7431 - first_name: Eder full_name: Miguel Villalba, Eder id: 3FB91342-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Miguel Villalba orcid: 0000-0001-5665-0430 - first_name: Julia M full_name: Michalska, Julia M id: 443DB6DE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Michalska orcid: 0000-0003-3862-1235 - first_name: Donglai full_name: Wei, Donglai last_name: Wei - first_name: Zudi full_name: Lin, Zudi last_name: Lin - first_name: Jake full_name: Watson, Jake id: 63836096-4690-11EA-BD4E-32803DDC885E last_name: Watson orcid: 0000-0002-8698-3823 - first_name: Jakob full_name: Troidl, Jakob last_name: Troidl - first_name: Johanna full_name: Beyer, Johanna last_name: Beyer - first_name: Yoav full_name: Ben Simon, Yoav id: 43DF3136-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Ben Simon - first_name: Christoph M full_name: Sommer, Christoph M id: 4DF26D8C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sommer orcid: 0000-0003-1216-9105 - first_name: Wiebke full_name: Jahr, Wiebke id: 425C1CE8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Jahr orcid: 0000-0003-0201-2315 - first_name: Alban full_name: Cenameri, Alban id: 9ac8f577-2357-11eb-997a-e566c5550886 last_name: Cenameri - first_name: Johannes full_name: Broichhagen, Johannes last_name: Broichhagen - first_name: Seth G.

Super-resolution optical microscopy excels at visualizing specific molecules and individual cells but fails to provide tissue context. Here we developed Comprehensive Analysis of Tissues across Scales (CATS), a technology to densely map brain tissue architecture from millimeter regional to nanoscopic synaptic scales in diverse chemically fixed brain preparations, including rodent and human. CATS leverages fixation-compatible extracellular labeling and advanced optical readout, in particular stimulated-emission depletion and expansion microscopy, to comprehensively delineate cellular structures. It enables 3D-reconstructing single synapses and mapping synaptic connectivity by identification and tailored analysis of putative synaptic cleft regions. Applying CATS to the hippocampal mossy fiber circuitry, we demonstrate its power to reveal the system’s molecularly informed ultrastructure across spatial scales and assess local connectivity by reconstructing and quantifying the synaptic input and output structure of identified neurons. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Julia M full_name: Michalska, Julia M id: 443DB6DE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Michalska orcid: 0000-0003-3862-1235 - first_name: Julia full_name: Lyudchik, Julia id: 46E28B80-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Lyudchik - first_name: Philipp full_name: Velicky, Philipp id: 39BDC62C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Velicky orcid: 0000-0002-2340-7431 - first_name: Hana full_name: Korinkova, Hana id: ee3cb6ca-ec98-11ea-ae11-ff703e2254ed last_name: Korinkova - first_name: Jake full_name: Watson, Jake id: 63836096-4690-11EA-BD4E-32803DDC885E last_name: Watson orcid: 0000-0002-8698-3823 - first_name: Alban full_name: Cenameri, Alban id: 9ac8f577-2357-11eb-997a-e566c5550886 last_name: Cenameri - first_name: Christoph M full_name: Sommer, Christoph M id: 4DF26D8C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sommer orcid: 0000-0003-1216-9105 - first_name: Alessandro full_name: Venturino, Alessandro id: 41CB84B2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Venturino orcid: 0000-0003-2356-9403 - first_name: Karl full_name: Roessler, Karl last_name: Roessler - first_name: Thomas full_name: Czech, Thomas last_name: Czech - first_name: Sandra full_name: Siegert, Sandra id: 36ACD32E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Siegert orcid: 0000-0001-8635-0877 - first_name: Gaia full_name: Novarino, Gaia id: 3E57A680-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Novarino orcid: 0000-0002-7673-7178 - first_name: Peter M full_name: Jonas, Peter M id: 353C1B58-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Jonas orcid: 0000-0001-5001-4804 - first_name: Johann G full_name: Danzl, Johann G id: 42EFD3B6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Danzl orcid: 0000-0001-8559-3973 citation: ama: Michalska JM, Lyudchik J, Velicky P, et al.

In humans, this process is uniquely slow and prolonged, and it is unclear whether guidance cues unique to humans govern the various phases of this complex developmental process. Here, we use fused cerebral organoids to identify key roles of neurotransmitter signaling pathways in guiding the migratory behavior of human cortical interneurons. We use scRNAseq to reveal expression of GABA, glutamate, glycine, and serotonin receptors along distinct maturation trajectories across interneuron migration. We develop an image analysis software package, TrackPal, to simultaneously assess 48 parameters for entire migration tracks of individual cells. By chemical screening, we show that different modes of interneuron migration depend on distinct neurotransmitter signaling pathways, linking transcriptional maturation of interneurons with their migratory behavior. Altogether, our study provides a comprehensive quantitative analysis of human interneuron migration and its functional modulation by neurotransmitter signaling. acknowledgement: We thank all Knoblich laboratory members for continued support and discussions.

In mouse, constitutive haploinsufficiency leads to motor coordination deficits as well as ASD-relevant social and cognitive impairments. However, induction of Cul3 haploinsufficiency later in life does not lead to ASD-relevant behaviors, pointing to an important role of Cul3 during a critical developmental window. Here we show that Cul3 is essential to regulate neuronal migration and, therefore, constitutive Cul3 heterozygous mutant mice display cortical lamination abnormalities. At the molecular level, we found that Cul3 controls neuronal migration by tightly regulating the amount of Plastin3 (Pls3), a previously unrecognized player of neural migration. Furthermore, we found that Pls3 cell-autonomously regulates cell migration by regulating actin cytoskeleton organization, and its levels are inversely proportional to neural migration speed. Finally, we provide evidence that cellular phenotypes associated with autism-linked gene haploinsufficiency can be rescued by transcriptional activation of the intact allele in vitro, offering a proof of concept for a potential therapeutic approach for ASDs. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: PreCl acknowledgement: We thank A.

While advances in fluorescence microscopy and in vitro reconstitution experiments have helped to study the dynamic properties of these complex systems, methods that allow to collect and analyze large quantitative datasets of the underlying polymer dynamics are still missing. Here, we present a novel image analysis workflow to study polymerization dynamics of active filaments in a nonbiased, highly automated manner. Using treadmilling filaments of the bacterial tubulin FtsZ as an example, we demonstrate that our method is able to specifically detect, track and analyze growth and shrinkage of polymers, even in dense networks of filaments. We believe that this automated method can facilitate the analysis of a large variety of dynamic cytoskeletal systems, using standard time-lapse movies obtained from experiments in vitro as well as in the living cell. Moreover, we provide scripts implementing this method as supplementary material. alternative_title: - Methods in Cell Biology article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Paulo R full_name: Dos Santos Caldas, Paulo R id: 38FCDB4C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Dos Santos Caldas orcid: 0000-0001-6730-4461 - first_name: Philipp full_name: Radler, Philipp id: 40136C2A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Radler orcid: '0000-0001-9198-2182 ' - first_name: Christoph M full_name: Sommer, Christoph M id: 4DF26D8C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sommer orcid: 0000-0003-1216-9105 - first_name: Martin full_name: Loose, Martin id: 462D4284-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Loose orcid: 0000-0001-7309-9724 citation: ama: 'Dos Santos Caldas PR, Radler P, Sommer CM, Loose M.

Here, we used Cul3 mouse models to evaluate the consequences of Cul3 mutations in vivo. Our results show that Cul3 haploinsufficient mice exhibit deficits in motor coordination as well as ASD-relevant social and cognitive impairments. Cul3 mutant brain displays cortical lamination abnormalities due to defective neuronal migration and reduced numbers of excitatory and inhibitory neurons. In line with the observed abnormal columnar organization, Cul3 haploinsufficiency is associated with decreased spontaneous excitatory and inhibitory activity in the cortex. At the molecular level, employing a quantitative proteomic approach, we show that Cul3 regulates cytoskeletal and adhesion protein abundance in mouse embryos. Abnormal regulation of cytoskeletal proteins in Cul3 mutant neuronal cells results in atypical organization of the actin mesh at the cell leading edge, likely causing the observed migration deficits. In contrast to these important functions early in development, Cul3 deficiency appears less relevant at adult stages. In fact, induction of Cul3 haploinsufficiency in adult mice does not result in the behavioral defects observed in constitutive Cul3 haploinsufficient animals. Taken together, our data indicate that Cul3 has a critical role in the regulation of cytoskeletal proteins and neuronal migration and that ASD-associated defects and behavioral abnormalities are primarily due to Cul3 functions at early developmental stages. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: PreCl article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Jasmin full_name: Morandell, Jasmin id: 4739D480-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Morandell - first_name: Lena A full_name: Schwarz, Lena A id: 29A8453C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Schwarz - first_name: Bernadette full_name: Basilico, Bernadette id: 36035796-5ACA-11E9-A75E-7AF2E5697425 last_name: Basilico orcid: 0000-0003-1843-3173 - first_name: Saren full_name: Tasciyan, Saren id: 4323B49C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Tasciyan orcid: 0000-0003-1671-393X - first_name: Armel full_name: Nicolas, Armel id: 2A103192-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Nicolas - first_name: Christoph M full_name: Sommer, Christoph M id: 4DF26D8C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sommer orcid: 0000-0003-1216-9105 - first_name: Caroline full_name: Kreuzinger, Caroline id: 382077BA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kreuzinger - first_name: Lisa full_name: Knaus, Lisa id: 3B2ABCF4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Knaus - first_name: Zoe full_name: Dobler, Zoe id: D23090A2-9057-11EA-883A-A8396FC7A38F last_name: Dobler - first_name: Emanuele full_name: Cacci, Emanuele last_name: Cacci - first_name: Johann G full_name: Danzl, Johann G id: 42EFD3B6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Danzl orcid: 0000-0001-8559-3973 - first_name: Gaia full_name: Novarino, Gaia id: 3E57A680-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Novarino orcid: 0000-0002-7673-7178 citation: ama: Morandell J, Schwarz LA, Basilico B, et al.
