View SamplesNeuronal migration disorders such as lissencephaly and subcortical band heterotopia (SBH) are associated with epilepsy and intellectual disability. Doublecortin (DCX), LIS1 and alpha1-tubulin (TUBA1A), are mutated in these disorders, however corresponding mouse mutants do not show heterotopic neurons in the neocortex. On the other hand, the spontaneously arisen HeCo mouse mutant displays this phenotype. The study of this model reveals novel mechanisms of heterotopia formation. While, HeCo neurons migrate at the same speed as WT, abnormally distributed dividing progenitors were found throughout the cortical wall from E13. Through genetic studies we identified Eml1 as the mutant gene in HeCo mice. No full length transcripts of Eml1 were identified due to a retrotransposon insertion in an intron. Re-expression of Eml1, coding for a microtubule-associated protein, rescues the HeCo progenitor phenotype. We further show that EML1 is mutated in giant ribbon-like heterotopia in human. Our data link abnormal spindle orientations, ectopic progenitors and severe heterotopia in mouse and human.
Mutations in Eml1 lead to ectopic progenitors and neuronal heterotopia in mouse and human.

View SamplesHow various ATP-dependent chromatin remodellers bind to nucleosomes to regulate transcription is not well defined in mammalian cells. Here, we present genome-wide remodeller-interacting nucleosome profiles for Chd1, Chd2, Chd4, Chd6, Chd8, Chd9, Brg1 and Ep400 in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. These remodellers bind to nucleosomes at specific positions, either at one or both nucleosomes that flank each side of nucleosome-free promoter regions (NFRs), at enhancer elements, or within gene bodies. At promoters, bidirectional transcription commonly initiates on either side of remodeller-bound nucleosomes. Transcriptome analysis upon remodeller depletion reveals reciprocal mechanisms of transcriptional regulation by remodellers. At active genes, certain remodellers are positive regulators of transcription, whereas others act as repressors. At bivalent genes, which are bound by repressive Polycomb complexes, the same remodellers act in the opposite way. Together, these findings reveal how remodellers integrate promoter nucleosomal architecture to regulate ES cell transcription programs.
