Ras homolog enriched in brain (Rheb) couples growth factor signaling to activation of the target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1). To study its role in mammals, we generated a Rheb knockout mouse. In contrast to mTOR or regulatory-associated protein of mTOR (Raptor) mutants, the inner cell mass of Rheb(-/-) embryos differentiated normally. Nevertheless, Rheb(-/-) embryos died around midgestation, most likely due to impaired development of the cardiovascular system. Rheb(-/-) embryonic fibroblasts showed decreased TORC1 activity, were smaller, and showed impaired proliferation. Rheb heterozygosity extended the life span of tuberous sclerosis complex 1-deficient (Tsc1(-/-)) embryos, indicating that there is a genetic interaction between the Tsc1 and Rheb genes in mouse.

Unlike dietary restriction, rapamycin fails to extend lifespan and reduce transcription stress in progeroid DNA repair-deficient mice

Maria B. Birkisdottir, Dick Jaarsma, Renata M. C. Brandt, Sander Barnhoorn, Nicole van Vliet, Sandra Imholz, Conny T. van Oostrom, Bhawani Nagarajah, Eliana Portilla Fernandez, Anton J. M. Roks, Ype Elgersma, Harry van Steeg, Jose A. Ferreira, Jeroen L. A. Pennings, Jan H. J. Hoeijmakers, Wilbert P. Vermeij, Martijn E. T. Dolle

Summary: Experimental results show that although dietary restriction and rapamycin can extend the lifespan of some organisms, rapamycin cannot increase the lifespan and healthspan of progeroid DNA repair-deficient mice like dietary restriction does.

UBE3A reinstatement as a disease-modifying therapy for Angelman syndrome

Ype Elgersma, Monica Sonzogni

Summary: Angelman syndrome, caused by mutations in the maternally inherited UBE3A gene, remains a rare disease without effective treatments. Strategies targeting critical substrates of UBE3A and restoring UBE3A protein levels are highly anticipated for disease modification.

Loss of nuclear UBE3A activity is the predominant cause of Angelman syndrome in individuals carrying UBE3A missense mutations

Stijn N. Bossuyt, A. Mattijs Punt, Ilona J. de Graaf, Janny van den Burg, Mark G. Williams, Helen Heussler, Ype Elgersma, Ben Distel

Summary: The research shows that mislocalization of UBE3A is the major cause of UBE3A dysfunction, followed by a loss of E3-ubiquitin ligase activity. Mutations affecting catalytic activity are found not only in the catalytic HECT domain, but also in the N-terminal half of UBE3A, suggesting an important contribution of this N-terminal region to its catalytic potential.

Summary: TAOK1 is a MAP3K protein kinase crucial for normal neuronal function, and its dysregulation due to variants can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by various symptoms. The identified TAOK1 variants, including truncating and nonsense variants, may have loss of function or dominant-negative effects on TAOK1, expanding the potential mechanisms underlying NDD.

Mono-ubiquitination of Rabphilin 3A by UBE3A serves a non-degradative function

Rossella Avagliano Trezza, A. Mattijs Punt, Edwin Mientjes, Marlene van den Berg, F. Isabella Zampeta, Ilona J. de Graaf, Yana van der Weegen, Jeroen A. A. Demmers, Ype Elgersma, Ben Distel

Summary: Research found that the synaptic protein RPH3A may become a target of ubiquitination by UBE3A, a gene commonly mutated in the neurodevelopmental disorder AS. However, this ubiquitination process does not lead to degradation of RPH3A, suggesting a non-degradative function of UBE3A-dependent ubiquitination in this context.

Attention and Motor Learning in Adult Patients with Neurofibromatosis Type 1

Jesminne Castricum, Joke H. M. Tulen, Walter Taal, Andre B. Rietman, Ype Elgersma

Summary: In this study, adults with NF1 performed similarly to controls in attention and motor learning tasks, with the only difference being shorter reaction times in controls. Measures of attention or motor learning were not significantly associated with reduced intellectual performance in NF1. These findings contrast with previous studies in children with NF1 and suggest potential differences in cognitive functioning between pediatric and adult NF1 populations.

Cortical Inhibition and Plasticity in Major Depressive Disorder

Summary: This study investigated inhibitory neurotransmission and cortical plasticity in MDD patients and controls using TMS technology, finding deficits in cortical plasticity in MDD patients. However, no significant differences in cortical inhibition were observed in depressed patients, suggesting that reduced cortical inhibition may not be a robust correlate of the pathophysiological mechanism in MDD.

Summary: This study reviews the development of Angelman syndrome research over the past 50 years using a bibliometric approach. The results reveal a shift in research focus towards genetic therapies for Angelman syndrome and provide insights into changes in funding sources, publishing journals, and international collaborations.

A cross-species spatiotemporal proteomic analysis identifies UBE3A-dependent signaling pathways and targets

Summary: This study investigates the mechanisms and potential therapeutic options for Angelman syndrome. Proteomics analysis reveals changes in protein pathways during different stages of development in an AS mouse model. Restoring UBE3A expression is shown to reverse these changes and provide a promising treatment option. Additionally, a novel UBE3A substrate is discovered, and a protein database is created to support future research.

A Novel Automated Approach for Improving Standardization of the Marble Burying Test Enables Quantification of Burying Bouts and Activity Characteristics

Lucas Wahl, A. Mattijs Punt, Tara Arbab, Ingo Willuhn, Ype Elgersma, Aleksandra Badura

Summary: The marble burying test is commonly used to describe behaviors in mouse models of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. A new automated method using machine learning algorithms was introduced to quantify burying behavior in freely moving mice. The accuracy of the method was confirmed in three mouse models, showing consistent results with previously reported phenotypes. The study also revealed additional information about mouse activity during the test.

Summary: Chromosome 15q11.2-q13.1 duplication syndrome (Dup15q syndrome) is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by intellectual disability, impaired motor coordination, and autism spectrum disorder. While overexpression of the UBE3A gene is presumed to be the main cause of Dup15q pathology, studies on mouse models with UBE3A overexpression have yielded conflicting results. In this study, transgenic mouse models were used to investigate the neurodevelopmental impact of Ube3a gene overdosage and found limited effects on neurodevelopment, but increased mortality when faced with seizures.

Secreted retrovirus-like GAG-domain-containing protein PEG10 is regulated by UBE3A and is involved in Angelman syndrome pathophysiology

Summary: Angelman syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by the loss of maternal UBE3A, and studying neurons derived from patients with AS and neurotypical individuals have revealed the potential involvement of the protein PEG10 in AS pathophysiology. Further research on PEG10 and its interaction with RNA and certain proteins may shed light on the mechanisms underlying this disorder.
