Overview of Gene Research
Nde1, also known as Nuclear Distribution Element 1 or NudE, is a crucial protein in multiple biological processes. It is an important binding partner of cytoplasmic dynein-1, a microtubule minus-end directed molecular motor. Nde1, along with Lis1, facilitates the assembly of dynein with dynactin and a cargo adaptor in an active transport complex, playing a key role in dynein-mediated transport pathways [1,2,3]. It is essential for brain development, and its abnormal function is associated with neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders [4].
Genetic studies in various models have provided insights into Nde1's functions. In zebrafish, nde1 homologous deficiency (nde1 -/-) leads to increased neurological apoptotic responses in early infancy, enlarged ventricles, shrank valvula cerebelli in adults, and autism-like behavior traits, revealing its role in normal neurological development [6]. In neocortical neurons, Nde1 loss-of-function (LOF) results in nuclear architecture aberrations, DNA double-strand breaks, and instability of pericentromeric satellite repeats, suggesting its importance in heterochromatin compaction and stability [5].
In conclusion, Nde1 is essential for processes like dynein-mediated transport, neurogenesis, and heterochromatin regulation. Studies using gene knockout models, such as the nde1 -/- zebrafish, have revealed its significance in normal neurological development and its association with neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders, offering valuable insights into the underlying disease mechanisms [5,6].
