Normal brain function is dependent on the correct positioning and connectivity of neurons established during development. The Reelin signaling pathway plays a crucial role in cortical lamination. Reelin is a secreted glycoprotein that exerts its function by binding to lipoprotein receptors and inducing tyrosine phosphorylation of the intracellular adaptor protein Dab1. Mutations in genes of the Reelin signaling pathway lead to profound defects in neuronal positioning during brain development in both mice and humans. However, the molecular mechanisms by which Reelin controls neuronal morphology and migration are unknown. We have used a systems analysis approach to identify genes perturbed in the Reelin signaling pathway and identified microtubule stabilizing CLIP-associated protein 2 (CLASP2) as a key cytoskeletal modifier of Reelin mutant phenotypes. Currently, little is known about the role of CLASP2 in the developing brain. We propose that CLASP2 is a key effector in the Reelin signaling pathway controlling basic aspects of cortical layering, neuronal morphology, and function.

520 $a Normal brain function is dependent on the correct positioning and connectivity of neurons established during development. The Reelin signaling pathway plays a crucial role in cortical lamination. Reelin is a secreted glycoprotein that exerts its function by binding to lipoprotein receptors and inducing tyrosine phosphorylation of the intracellular adaptor protein Dab1. Mutations in genes of the Reelin signaling pathway lead to profound defects in neuronal positioning during brain development in both mice and humans. However, the molecular mechanisms by which Reelin controls neuronal morphology and migration are unknown. We have used a systems analysis approach to identify genes perturbed in the Reelin signaling pathway and identified microtubule stabilizing CLIP-associated protein 2 (CLASP2) as a key cytoskeletal modifier of Reelin mutant phenotypes.

520 $a CLASP2 is a plus-end tracking protein and this localization places CLASP2 in a strategic position to control neurite outgrowth, directionality, and responsiveness to extracellular cues. Our results demonstrate that CLASP2 expression correlates with neurite length and synaptic activity in primary neuron cultures; however, the role of CLASP2 during brain development was unknown. In this dissertation, we have characterized the role of CLASP2 during cortical development by in utero electroporation of shRNA plasmids and found that silencing CLASP2 in migrating neurons leads to mislocalized cells at deeper cortical layers, abnormal positioning of the centrosome-Golgi complex, and aberrant length/orientation of the leading process. In addition, we found that GSK3beta-mediated phosphorylation of CLASP2 controls Dab1 binding and is required for regulating CLASP2 effects on neuron morphology and migration. This dissertation provides the first steps in gaining insight into how Reelin signaling affects cytoskeletal reorganization to regulate fundamental features of neuronal migration, positioning and morphogenesis.
