Two major signaling pathways that control neuronal positioning
during brain development have been uncovered as a result of genetic and
biochemical studies on neurological mouse mutants. Mice deficient in
Reelin, Disabled 1 (Dab1), or both the very low-density lipoprotein
receptor (VLDLR) and the apolipoprotein E receptor 2 (ApoER2) exhibit
identical neuroanatomic defects in laminar structures throughout the
brain. These proteins function as components of the Reelin signaling
pathway. Reelin is a secreted glycoprotein that binds to VLDLR and
ApoER2, inducing tyrosine phosphorylation of Dab1, an intracellular
adapter protein. Neuronal migration is also regulated by
cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) and its activating subunits p35 and
p39. Mice deficient in Cdk5, p35, or both p35 and p39 exhibit
lamination defects that are similar but not identical to those observed
in mice with a defect in the Reelin signaling pathway. Cdk5
phosphorylates proteins that maintain cytoskeletal structures and
promote cell motility. To explore the possibility that Cdk5 influences
the Reelin pathway, we sought to determine whether Dab1 is a substrate
for Cdk5. Here we show that Cdk5 phosphorylates Dab1 on serine 491 in vitro and in vivo, independently of
Reelin signaling. We also show that ectopic neurons in Cdk5-deficient
mice exhibit reduced levels of Reelin signaling during later stages of
cortical development, although Cdk5 is not required for Reelin-induced
tyrosine phosphorylation of Dab1. Although the functional significance
of Dab1 serine phosphorylation is unclear, our results suggest that
there is biochemical cross-talk between two signaling pathways that
control cell positioning.
