ABSTRACT
Here, we report the first characterization of the effects resulting from the manipulation of Soluble-Lamin Associated Protein (SLAP) expression during mammalian brain development. We found that SLAP localizes to the nuclear envelope and when overexpressed causes changes in nuclear morphology and lengthening of mitosis. SLAP overexpression in apical progenitors of the developing mouse brain altered asymmetric cell division, neurogenic commitment and neuronal migration ultimately resulting in unbalance in the proportion of upper, relative to deeper, neuronal layers. Several of these effects were also recapitulated upon Cas9-mediated knockdown. Ultimately, SLAP overexpression during development resulted in a reduction in subcortical projections of young mice and, notably, reduced their exploratory behavior. Our study shows the potential relevance of the previously uncharacterized nuclear envelope protein SLAP in neurodevelopmental disorders.
