Sequestration of growth cone surface proteins by cytoplasmic Lrrtm2 induces de novo amygdala innervation by cerebral cortex associative neurons

Dustin E. Tillman, Omer Durak, Priya Veeraraghavan…·Jeffrey D. Macklis

The paper identifies how Lrrtm2 sequestration in growth cones disrupts axon guidance, leading to abnormal amygdala innervation in callosal projection neurons, linking Bcl11a deletion to ASD/ID mechanisms.

ASD gene Bcl11a regulates subcellular RNA localization, associative circuitry, and social behavior

Omer Durak, Ji‐Yoon Kim, Dustin E. Tillman…·Jeffrey D. Macklis

This study shows that the ASD/ID gene Bcl11a is essential for precise axonal targeting and circuit formation in CPN, with its deletion causing behavioral and molecular disruptions in mice.

Development of ultra-low-input nanoRibo-seq enables quantification of translational control, revealing broad uORF translation by subtype-specific neurons

John E. Froberg, Omer Durak, Jeffrey D. Macklis

The paper develops nanoRibo-seq, an ultra-low-input method for Ribo-seq, revealing uORF translation in specific neurons.
