Abstract
The formation of the mammalian cortex requires the generation, migration, and differentiation of neurons. The vital role that the microtubule cytoskeleton plays in these cellular processes is reflected by the discovery that mutations in various tubulin isotypes cause different neurodevelopmental diseases, including lissencephaly (

We report the occurrence of three microcephalic patients with structural brain abnormalities harboring de novo mutations in <italic>TUBB5</italic> (M299V, V353I, and E401K). These mutant proteins, which affect the chaperone-dependent assembly of tubulin heterodimers in different ways, disrupt neurogenic division and/or migration in vivo.

The vital role that the microtubule cytoskeleton plays in these cellular processes is reflected by the discovery that mutations in various tubulin isotypes cause different neurodevelopmental diseases, including lissencephaly (<italic>TUBA1A</italic>), polymicrogyria (<italic>TUBA1A</italic>, <italic>TUBB2B</italic>, <italic>TUBB3</italic>), and an ocular motility disorder (<italic>TUBB3</italic>). Here, we show that <italic>Tubb5</italic> is expressed in neurogenic progenitors in the mouse and that its depletion in vivo perturbs the cell cycle of progenitors and alters the position of migrating neurons. We report the occurrence of three microcephalic patients with structural brain abnormalities harboring de novo mutations in <italic>TUBB5</italic> (M299V, V353I, and E401K). These mutant proteins, which affect the chaperone-dependent assembly of tubulin heterodimers in different ways, disrupt neurogenic division and/or migration in vivo. Our results provide insight into the functional repertoire of the tubulin gene family, specifically implicating <italic>TUBB5</italic> in embryonic neurogenesis and microcephaly.</p></abstract><abstract abstract-type="graphical"><sec><title>Graphical Abstract</title><p><fig id="undfig1" position="anchor"><graphic xlink:href="fx1"></graphic></fig></p></sec><sec><title>Highlights</title><p>► The β-tubulin Tubb5 is highly expressed in the developing mouse and human cortex ► In vivo knockdown of Tubb5 perturbs the cell cycle and alters neuronal positioning ► Mutations in <italic>TUBB5</italic> cause microcephaly with dysmorphic basal ganglia in humans ► <italic>TUBB5</italic> mutations affect chaperone-mediated tubulin folding in different ways</p></sec></abstract><abstract abstract-type="teaser"><p>The formation of the cortex requires the generation, migration, and differentiation of neurons.

(A–C) The patient with the M299V mutation has microcephaly (OFC of −2.5 SD), focal polymicrogyria (shown with arrowheads in A), severe brainstem hypoplasia (shown with an arrowhead in B), partial agenesis of the corpus callosum (shown with an arrow in B), and dysmorphic basal ganglia with streaks of white matter (highlighted with an arrowhead in C). (D–F) The patient with the V353I mutation has microcephaly (OFC of −4.0 SD), a hypoplastic corpus callosum (shown with an arrow in E), and a dysmorphic basal ganglia with streaks of white matter running through the lenticular nucleus (shown with an arrowhead in F).</p><p>(G) Structural representation of a tubulin heterodimer highlighting the positions of the mutated residues. The M299 residue is centrally located and is associated with a deep hydrophobic pocket. V353 lies on the intradimer interface, in contrast to E401, which is located at the interdimer interface.</p><p>(H–J) Higher-resolution images showing the mutated residues within the three-dimensional structure of the tubulin heterodimer. (H) The M299 side chain is surrounded by hydrophobic residues (M267, P305, Y310, F367, shown in green) that could be disrupted by replacement with valine. (J) E401 lies in proximity to a loop (98–104, shown in green) that is critical for the binding of GTP (shown in yellow).</p><p>(K) Denaturing gel of in vitro <sup>35</sup>S-methionine-labeled transcription/translation reaction products for wild-type and TUBB5 mutants showing similar translational efficiencies.</p><p>(L) Kinetic analysis on nondenaturing gels of the products of in vitro transcription/translation reactions for wild-type and TUBB5 mutants. Arrows (top to bottom) denote the migration positions of the chaperonin (CCT)/β-tubulin binary complex (CCT/β), the TBCD/β-tubulin cocomplex, the prefoldin (PFD)/β-tubulin binary complex (PFD/β), the native tubulin heterodimer (α/β), and the TBCA/β-tubulin cocomplex (TBCA/β), each assigned on the basis of their characteristic electrophoretic mobilities. Note that the V353I mutant polypeptide behaved similarly to wild-type controls, whereas there was a diminished heterodimer yield in the case of M299V and little or no detectable heterodimer in the case of E401K. Note also the absence of TBCA/β-tubulin and TBCD/β-tubulin cocomplexes and a relatively long persistence of the PFD/β-tubulin cocomplex in the case of reactions performed with the E401K mutation. Min. chase indicates that reaction products generated after 90 min were further chased with added native bovine brain tubulin so as to drive the generation of tubulin heterodimers for the times shown.</p><p>(M–X) Expression of FLAG-tagged wild-type and mutant (M299V, V353I, and E401K) TUBB5 in cultured Neuro-2a cells. Staining with the anti-FLAG antibody is shown in red and the microtubule cytoskeleton visualized using an anti-α-tubulin antibody (shown in green). Note that wild-type FLAG-tagged TUBB5, as well as the corresponding M299V and V353I mutants, incorporated into the microtubule lattice (M–O, P–R, and S–U, respectively). This contrasts with the E401K protein, which is distributed throughout the cytoplasm and failed to incorporate into the cytoskeletal network (V–X).
