Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) plays a pivotal role in brain
development and neuronal migration. Cdk5 is abundant in postmitotic, terminally differentiated neurons. The ability of Cdk5 to phosphorylate substrates is dependent on activation by its neuronal-specific activators p35 and p39. There exist striking differences in the phenotypic severity of Cdk5-deficient mice and p35-deficient mice. Cdk5-null mutants show a more severe disruption of lamination in the
cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum. In addition, Cdk5-null
mice display perinatal lethality, whereas p35-null mice are viable.
These discrepancies have been attributed to the function of other Cdk5
activators, such as p39. To understand the roles of p39 and p35, we
created p39-null mice and p35/p39 compound-mutant mice. Interestingly,
p39-null mice show no obvious detectable abnormalities, whereas
p35-/-p39-/- double-null
mutants are perinatal lethal. We show here that the p35-/-p39-/- mutants exhibit
phenotypes identical to those of the Cdk5-null mutant mice. Other
compound-mutant mice with intermediate phenotypes allow us to determine
the distinct and redundant functions between p35 and p39. Our data
strongly suggest that p35 and p39 are essential for Cdk5 activity
during the development of the nervous system. Thus, p35 and p39 are
likely to be the principal, if not the only, activators of Cdk5.
