Synaptojanin 1-linked phosphoinositide dyshomeostasis and cognitive deficits in mouse models of Down's syndrome
Open accessAbstract
Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P 2 ] is a signaling phospholipid implicated in a wide variety of cellular functions. At synapses, where normal PtdIns(4,5)P 2 balance is required for proper neurotransmission, the phosphoinositide phosphatase synaptojanin 1 is a key regulator of its metabolism. The underlying gene, SYNJ1 , maps to human chromosome 21 and is thus a candidate for involvement in Down's syndrome (DS), a complex disorder resulting from the overexpression of trisomic genes. Here, we show that PtdIns(4,5)P 2 metabolism is altered in the brain of Ts65Dn mice, the most commonly used model of DS. This defect is rescued by restoring Synj1 to disomy in Ts65Dn mice and is recapitulated in transgenic mice overexpressing Synj1 from BAC constructs. These transgenic mice also exhibit deficits in performance of the Morris water maze task, suggesting that PtdIns(4,5)P 2 dyshomeostasis caused by gene dosage imbalance for Synj1 may contribute to brain dysfunction and cognitive disabilities in DS.

The C-terminus of SHIP1 contains a NPxY motif that can bind proteins containing ITIM/ITAM, PTB or SH2 domains, and a proline-rich PxxP motif that contains SH3-binding domains.
“The C-terminus of SHIP1 contains a NPxY motif, which can bind to proteins containing immunoreceptor tyrosine inhibitory motifs (ITIM)/immunoreceptor tyrosine activating motifs (ITAM), phosphotyrosine-binding (PTB) or SH2 domains, as well as a proline-rich PxxP motif that contains SH3-binding domains [47, 93–98] (Fig. 2).”

The Discussion mentions Src homology 3 domain-containing interactors of synaptojanin 1, not the structure of SHIP1. Searches for SHIP1, NPxY, PxxP, ITIM/ITAM, PTB, and SH2 found no passage addressing the claimed motifs or binding partners. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
