    (A) Dynamin2 (Dyn2) co-immunoprecipitates with <t>Ndel1,</t> so do Lis1 and Dynein intermediate chain (DIC) in HeLa cells. Co-immunoprecipitations in absence of antibody (noAb) or with Myc antibody serve as negative controls. (B) Dyn2 co-immunoprecipitates with Ndel1 in diverse cell types (HeLa cells, neuroblastoma CAD cells, primary cultured rat hippocampal neurons) and mouse cortex. (C) Co-immunoprecipitation of Dyn2 with Ndel1 in a post-mitochondrial fraction from HeLa cells (left panel). Co-immunoprecipitations in absence of antibody (No Abs) or with Myc antibody serve as negative controls. The right panel presents a Western blot analysis of the membranes content of a post-mitochondrial fraction. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER), trans-Golgi (TGN), plasma membrane, endosomes and cytosolic proteins are all present in this fraction, as detected by KDEL ER marker/BiP, p230 trans-Golgi, Na + /K + ATPase, EEA1 and Tubulin antibodies, respectively. (D) In vitro pull-down of His-Ndel1 by GST-Dyn2 but not GST. The protein detected by anti-GST antibodies in GST-Dyn2 pull-down corresponds to the cleaved GST from GST-Dyn2. (E) Far-western assays demonstrating the direct interaction between Ndel1 and Dyn2. His-Ndel1 bound to membranes was overlaid with GST-Dyn2 protein that was detected with a Dyn2 antibody at the His-Ndel1 molecular weight (∼45 kDa). Consistently, GST-Dyn2 bound membranes overlaid with His-Ndel1 that was detected with a Ndel1 antibody at the GST-Dyn2 molecular weight (∼125 kDa = ∼100 kDa for Dyn2+∼25 kDa for GST).

    Expression of Nde1/NDE1 and Ndel1/NDEL1 in the developing mouse and human cortices. a UMAP plot of scRNA-seq of mouse cortex at E13.5 and E15.5 and human cortex at GW18. Three developmental states (progenitors, precursors, and neurons) are designated based on their marker genes (Supplementary Fig. 1). Heat maps of Nde1 / NDE1 , Ndel1 / NDEL1 , and Pafah1b1 / PAFAH1B1 ( Lis1 / LIS1 ) expression show specific expression patterns. b Violin plots of Nde1 / NDE1 , Ndel1 / NDEL1 , and Pafah1b1 / PAFAH1B1 ( Lis1 / LIS1 ) expression at three neuronal developmental states (top). The markers Pax6 / PAX6 , Eomes / EOMES , and Neurod6 / NEUROD6 are shown to distinguish these developmental stages. Bar graphs show the ratio of cells expressing Nde1 / NDE1 and Ndel1 / NDEL1 at each developmental state (bottom). Both plots show preferential expression of Nde1 / NDE1 in the progenitor state. c Violin plots of Nde1 / NDE1 , Ndel1 / NDEL1 , and Pafah1b1 / PAFAH1B1 ( Lis1 / LIS1 ) expression in progenitors at different cell cycle stages (top). Bar graphs show the expression of Nde1 / NDE1 and Ndel1 / NDEL1 at each cell cycle stage (bottom). Both plots show relatively high expression of Nde1 / NDE1 at the G2/M phase. d Gene expression profiles in mouse telencephalon at E15.5. Left: Spatial distribution and UMAP plot of individual capture dots grouped into 12 clusters based on their expression profiles. Right: The spatial distribution and violin plot of the expression of Nde1 , Ndel1 , and Lis1 in the dorsal telencephalon. While Nde1 is strongly expressed in the VZ, Ndel1 is mainly expressed in the IZ and CP. The color scale represents the log-normalization of the unique molecular identifier (UMI) count (also see Supplementary Fig. 2)

    Effects of Ndel1 knockdown and p.R105P variant on neuronal distribution in embryonic mouse brains. a Western blot of NDEL1 protein in primary cultures at DIV 6 after infection with viruses encoding control or 4 different Ndel1 shRNA. Beta-actin was used as the loading control. The bar graph shows relative NDEL1 expression in these cells. Error bars represent SEM. One-way ANOVA; post hoc: Bonferroni test. *: p < 0.05, **: p < 0.01. b Coronal sections of E18.5 brains electroporated with shCtrl or sh Ndel1 along with GFP (green) at E14.5. While most GFP + cells reached the CP, cells expressing sh Ndel1 #16 were mainly restricted to the IZ and VZ/SVZ. This effect was rescued by the expression of Ndel1 WT but not the p.R105P variant. c Coronal sections of E18.5 brains electroporated with Ndel1 WT, p.R105P, p.R105Q, p.R105W, or the empty vector along with GFP (green) at E14.5. GFP + cells electroporated with pCAGIG-NDEL1, pCAGIG-R105Q, pCAGIG-R105W, pNeuroD1-NDEL1(WT), or vector were mainly redistributed to the CP. However, the expression of CAG / NeuroD1 promoter-driven p.R105P caused a nearly complete blockade of neurons from migrating to the CP. Slices were stained with DAPI (blue) to mark the nuclei of the cells. Bars = 100 μm. d The bar graph shows the percentage of GFP + cells in the CP, IZ, and VZ 4 days after electroporation in ( b ) and ( c ) ( n = 3 pregnant females in each condition).

    Schematic diagram depicting the distinct roles of NDE1 and NDEL1 in cortical development and the cellular and molecular mechanisms of NDEL1 p.R105P variant in causing lissencephaly. During cortical development, the nucleus of RGCs undergoes cell-cycle-dependent INM during proliferation to self-renew and produce neurons. Cytoplasmic dynein, supported by NDE1 and LIS1, facilitates downward movement, while KIF1A is responsible for upward movement. Dysfunction of NDE1 blocks downward movement and subsequent proliferation; its mutations lead to microcephaly in humans. Post-mitotic neurons migrate along the radial fibers of RGCs to populate the CP, where they become pyramidal neurons. During the migration process, NDEL1 interacts with both cytoplasmic dynein and LIS1 to regulate dynein motor activities, enabling nucleokinesis during neuronal migration. The p.R105P variant disrupts the interaction of NDEL1 with LIS1, which impairs the function of the cytoplasmic dynein complex. This defect impedes N–C coupling, blocks nucleokinesis, and impairs neuronal migration during cortical development. These defects, in turn, lead to the pathogenesis of human lissencephaly

    Fractionation of GluR1 in heavy membranes (HM) and light membranes (LM) from HeLa cells transfected with a combination of Dyn2, GluR1, Flag-Ndel1, Dyn2(K44A) constructs and/or treated with Ndel1 siRNA. (A) The HM fraction comprises several organelles, including the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), as detected with p230 trans-Golgi/TGN38 and KDEL ER marker antibodies, respectively. The LM fraction includes cytosolic proteins and small organelles like early endosomes as indicated by Tubulin and EEA1 antibodies, respectively. (B) The framed Western blots depict the separation of GluR1 in HM vs GluR1 in LM in HeLa cells. Increasing the levels of Dyn2 or Ndel1 reduces the ratio GluR1 HM/GluR1 (HM+LM), indicating GluR1 is redistributed from the heavy membranes to the lighter membranes. The usage of a dominant negative mutant of Dyn2 (Dyn2(K44A)) or the treatment of cells with Ndel1 siRNA reverts the ratio, indicating accumulating GluR1 in the HM fraction. “C” corresponds to control (cells transfected with an empty vector). Error bars indicate s.d. (n = 3). One way ANOVA: ***, p<0.001; **, p<0.01; *, p<0.05. Note that the levels of stable (acetylated) Tubulin are similar in Ndel1 siRNA-treated cells vs control siRNA-treated cells. (C) In HeLa cells treated with control siRNA, the AMPA receptor GluR1 (red) is found at the cell periphery and up to the cell edge. In HeLa cells treated with Ndel1 siRNA most of GluR1 (red) is found close to the nucleus with very little amount at the cell periphery.
