A cytosolic function of DNMT1 controls neuronal morphogenesis via microtubule regulation

Geraldine Zimmer‐Bensch, Georg Pitschelatow, Junko Kurisu, Takumi Kawaue, Ke Zuo, Song Xie, Christoph Weber-Hamacher, Cathrin Bayer, Jian Du, Philip Wolff, Shiori Nagayama, Claudia Palacios-Sanchez, Aylin Rogowski, Jana Egner-Walter, Paolo Ruggerone, , Mineko Kengaku

This study identifies a cytosolic function of DNMT1 in regulating neuronal morphogenesis through microtubule dynamics and organelle trafficking, independent of its catalytic activity and nuclear localization.

Neuronal migration induces DNA damage in developing brain

Zhejing Zhang, Andrés Canela, Peilin Zou, Takahiro Furuta, Noriko Takeda, Takumi Kawaue, Naotaka Nakazawa, Mai Saeki, Maki Utsunomiya, Junko Kurisu, Fumiyoshi Ishidate, Hiroyuki Sasanuma, Yusuke Kishi, Mineko Kengaku

The paper shows neuronal migration in developing brains causes DNA damage through mechanostress, which is repaired normally but can lead to disease if unresolved.

βIII spectrin controls the planarity of Purkinje cell dendrites by modulating perpendicular axon-dendrite interaction

Kazuto Fujishima, Junko Kurisu, Midori Yamada, Mineko Kengaku

This study shows that βIII spectrin regulates dendrite planarity by controlling microtubule dynamics and preventing abnormal lateral branching in Purkinje cells.
