Abstract

DYRKs (dual-specificity tyrosine-regulated kinases) are an emerging family of evolutionarily conserved dual-specificity kinases that play key roles in cell proliferation, survival, and development. The research in the last years suggests a relevant conserved function during neuronal development, related to proliferation and/or differentiation for DYRK1A. It is expressed in neural progenitor cells and has been proposed to participate in the signaling mechanisms that regulate dendrite differentiation. In Drosophila, disruption of the homolog minibrain gene results in flies with reduced neuroblast proliferation, decreased numbers of central brain neurons, and learning/memory deficits. Knockout DYRK1A mice are embryonic lethal, and heterozygotes show decreased viability and region-specific reductions in brain size. In humans, DYRK1A has been proposed to be involved in the neurodevelopmental alterations associated with Down syndrome. The large number of protein interaction and putative substrates described for DYRK1A suggest multiple pathways and functions to be involved in its developmental function. This review focuses on the functional role that DYRK1A plays in brain development.

  • For both DYRK1A and TCF4, haploinsufficiency is often associated with disease, indicating that adequate expression levels of these proteins are essential for neurodevelopment.

    “For both genes haploinsufficiency is often associated with disease, indicating that adequate expression levels of these proteins are essential for neurodevelopment98, 101, 106.”

    From Distinct selective forces and Neanderthal introgression shaped genetic diversity at genes involved in neurodevelopmental disorders (2017) · cites this paper as [106]

    The “Effects of DYRK1A Deletion” section reports that mice with one disrupted DYRK1A allele have developmental delay, learning deficits, and reduced brain size, supporting the importance of DYRK1A dosage in neurodevelopment. This paper does not address TCF4, and its evidence for DYRK1A haploinsufficiency comes from mice rather than showing that it is often associated with human disease. (LLM, conf=0.86)

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.
