We found in this study that AUTS2 is involved in Rac1 activation via P-Rex1 and the Elmo2/Dock180 complex, but not STEF or Tiam1, for the lamellipodia formation in N1E-115 cells. However, the enhancement of neurite elongation in primary neurons by AUTS2 expression is specifically mediated by the Elmo2/Dock180 complex. These results suggested that several Rac-GEFs differentially or cooperatively participate in Rac1 activation to promote neuronal migration and neurite outgrowth. |

Mutations in the Autism susceptibility candidate 2 gene (AUTS2), whose protein is believed to act in neuronal cell nuclei, have been associated with multiple psychiatric illnesses, including autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disability, and schizophrenia. Here we show that cytoplasmic AUTS2 is involved in the regulation of the cytoskeleton and neural development. AUTS2 activates Rac1 to induce lamellipodia but downregulates Cdc42 to suppress filopodia. Our loss-of-function and rescue experiments show that a cytoplasmic AUTS2-Rac1 pathway is involved in cortical neuronal migration and neuritogenesis in the developing brain. These results suggest that FL-AUTS2 can activate Rac1 via interaction with P-Rex1 and the Elmo2/Dock180 complex to regulate actin dynamics in N1E-115 cells. |
