The apical Par complex, which contains atypical protein kinase C (aPKC), Bazooka (Par-3), and Par-6, is required for establishing polarity during asymmetric division of neuroblasts in Drosophila, and its activity depends on L(2)gl. We show that loss of Ankle2, a protein associated with microcephaly in humans and known to interact with Zika protein NS4A, reduces brain volume in flies and impacts the function of the Par complex. Reducing Ankle2 levels disrupts endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and nuclear envelope morphology, releasing the kinase Ballchen-VRK1 into the cytosol. These defects are associated with reduced phosphorylation of aPKC, disruption of Par-complex localization, and spindle alignment defects. Importantly, removal of one copy of ballchen or l(2)gl suppresses Ankle2 mutant phenotypes and restores viability and brain size. Human mutational studies implicate the above-mentioned genes in microcephaly and motor neuron disease. We suggest that NS4A, ANKLE2, VRK1, and LLGL1 define a pathway impinging on asymmetric determinants of neural stem cell division.

ZIKA 病毒靶点 ANKLE2 的突变破坏了果蝇神经母细胞中的不对称细胞分裂途径,从而导致小头畸形。

含有非典型蛋白激酶 C (aPKC)、火箭筒 (Par-3) 和 Par-6 的顶端 Par 复合物是在果蝇成神经细胞不对称分裂过程中建立极性所必需的,其活性取决于 L(2)gl . 我们表明,Ankle2 是一种与人类小头畸形相关的蛋白质,已知与寨卡病毒 NS4A 相互作用,会减少果蝇的脑容量并影响 Par 复合体的功能。降低 Ankle2 水平会破坏内质网 (ER) 和核膜形态,将激酶 Ballchen-VRK1 释放到细胞质中。这些缺陷与 aPKC 磷酸化减少、Par 复合物定位中断和纺锤体排列缺陷有关。重要的是,去除一份ballchen 或l(2)gl 会抑制Ankle2 突变表型并恢复活力和大脑大小。人类突变研究表明上述基因与小头畸形和运动神经元疾病有关。我们建议 NS4A、ANKLE2、VRK1 和 LLGL1 定义了影响神经干细胞分裂的不对称决定因素的途径。
