Risk Genes

SUMMARYAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disease affecting social behavior. Many of the high-confident ASD risk genes relate to mRNA translation. Specifically, many of these genes are involved in regulation of gene expression for subcellular compartmentalization of proteins1. Cis-regulatory motifs that often localize to 3’- and 5’-untranslated regions (UTRs) offer an additional path for posttranscriptional control of gene expression. Alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) affect 3’UTR length thereby influencing the presence or absence of regulatory elements. However, APA has not yet been addressed in the context of neurodevelopmental disorders. Here we used single cell 3’end sequencing to examine changes in 3’UTRs along the differentiation from neural stem cells (NSCs) to neuroblasts within the adult brain. We identified many APA events in genes involved in neurodevelopment, many of them being high confidence ASD risk genes. Further, analysis of 3’UTR lengths in single cells from ASD and healthy individuals detected longer 3’UTRs in ASD patients. Motif analysis of modulated 3’UTRs in the mouse adult neurogenic lineage and ASD-patients revealed enrichment of the cytoplasmic and polyadenylation element (CPE). This motif is bound by CPE binding protein 4 (CPEB4). In human and mouse data sets we observed co-regulation of CPEB4 and the CPEB-binding synaptic adhesion molecule amyloid beta precursor-like protein 1 (APLP1). We show that mice deficient in APLP1 show aberrant regulation of APA, decreased number of neural stem cells, and autistic-like traits. Our findings indicate that APA is used for control of gene expression along neuronal differentiation and is altered in ASD patients.
