text: De novo loss of function mutations in the ubiquitin ligase-encoding gene Cullin3
(CUL3) lead to autism spectrum disorder (ASD). 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.
