Gene Description

PAFAH1B1 encodes LIS1, a conserved WD40 beta-propeller protein with an N-terminal LisH dimerization domain. Its principal function is regulation of cytoplasmic dynein-1: LIS1 dimers bind the dynein motor domain and dynactin p150, promote assembly of active dynein-dynactin-adaptor complexes and dynein targeting to microtubule plus ends, cargos, kinetochores, the cell cortex and the nuclear envelope, and sustain dynein force production under load. Acting with NDEL1/NDE1 at the centrosome, LIS1 couples the nucleus to the centrosome during neuronal migration (nucleokinesis), drives interkinetic nuclear migration and division of neural progenitors, and supports mitotic spindle orientation, chromosome attachment and retrograde axonal transport. Heterozygous loss of PAFAH1B1 causes classical lissencephaly and subcortical band heterotopia, and deletion with neighbouring genes causes Miller-Dieker syndrome. Independently, LIS1 is the non-catalytic regulatory beta subunit of cytosolic platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase Ib, binding the PAFAH1B2/PAFAH1B3 catalytic dimer that hydrolyses the sn-2 acetyl group of PAF.

GO:0000132 establishment of mitotic spindle orientation
IEA
GO_REF:0000104
ACCEPT
Summary: Establishment of mitotic spindle orientation is a well-supported dynein-dependent LIS1 function.
Reason: LIS1 localizes to the cell cortex and kinetochores, and perturbation of LIS1 levels causes spindle misorientation; cortical dynein pulling on astral microtubules requires LIS1. This electronic transfer agrees with human experimental data.

GO:0007097 nuclear migration
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
MODIFY
Summary: Nuclear migration is a core LIS1-dynein process (nucleokinesis, interkinetic nuclear migration); the microtubule-dependent child terms are more precise.
Reason: LIS1 knockdown blocks somal translocation and interkinetic nuclear oscillations, and complete Lis1 loss abolishes nuclear movement; LIS1 acts through the minus-end motor dynein pulling the nucleus along microtubules. Nuclear migration along microtubule and interkinetic nuclear migration capture this precisely.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:16144905
interkinetic nuclear oscillations in the radial glial progenitors were also abolished
PMID:16144905

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Adult locomotory behaviour is not addressed by this human mutation-screening paper and is at most an indirect consequence of lissencephaly.
Reason: The paper identifies LIS1 point mutations in lissencephaly; motor phenotypes of patients are downstream of cortical malformation.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:9063735
Classical lissencephaly (smooth brain) or generalized agyria-pachygyria is a severe brain malformation which results from an arrest of neuronal migration at 9-13 weeks gestation

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Glutamatergic synapse (ortholog).
Reason: Retained because Lis1-deficient mouse neurons show severely disrupted synaptic transmission, consistent with LIS1 acting in neurons after migration. Non-core because this is a transferred location (mouse ortholog) reflecting postmigratory neuronal roles rather than the central dynein regulatory function.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Regulation of postsynapse organization (ortholog).
Reason: Retained because LIS1 regulates Rho GTPase activation and actin polymerization in neurons, a plausible route to postsynaptic structure. Non-core because the evidence is transferred from the mouse ortholog and is downstream of, not part of, LIS1's dynein-regulator function.

Summary: LIS1 directly regulates cytoplasmic dynein-1 motor mechanics: it binds the motor domain in the pre-powerstroke state and induces a persistent-force state, and promotes dynein-dynactin-adaptor assembly.
Reason: Single-molecule and structural data establish LIS1 as a direct regulator of the dynein motor (neither activator nor inhibitor alone in all contexts), so the parent cytoskeletal motor regulator activity is the appropriate MF. This is the informative MF behind the dynein complex binding annotations.

Summary: LIS1 is the non-catalytic regulatory beta subunit of PAF-AH (I) and modulates the activity of the PAFAH1B2/PAFAH1B3 catalytic dimer.
Reason: UniProt (by similarity to bovine/mouse) states the beta subunit has regulatory activity towards the catalytic dimer; the LIS1-alpha2 dimer crystal structure provides the physical basis. The broad enzyme regulator term is used because the direction of regulation depends on catalytic dimer composition. Captures the PAF-AH role without implying LIS1 catalysis.
Supporting Evidence:
file:human/PAFAH1B1/PAFAH1B1-uniprot.txt
The catalytic activity of the enzyme resides in the alpha1 (PAFAH1B3) and alpha2 (PAFAH1B2) subunits, whereas the beta subunit (PAFAH1B1) has regulatory activity

Core Functions

LIS1 dimers bind the cytoplasmic dynein-1 motor domain and dynactin p150 to regulate dynein: they promote assembly of active dynein-dynactin-adaptor complexes, target dynein to microtubule plus ends and cargos, and induce a persistent high-load force state. With NDEL1/NDE1 this drives dynein-dependent nuclear translocation toward the centrosome in migrating neurons and progenitors, mitotic spindle orientation and retrograde axonal transport.

The LIS1 WD40 propeller binds the dynein heavy chain motor domain and intermediate chain and dynactin, the physical basis of dynein regulation; LIS1 is recruited to kinetochores via dynein/dynactin.

As the non-catalytic beta subunit of cytosolic PAF acetylhydrolase Ib, a LIS1 homodimer binds the PAFAH1B2/PAFAH1B3 catalytic dimer and modulates its activity; catalysis of PAF deacetylation resides in the alpha subunits. This role is distinct from, and competes structurally with, LIS1 binding to NDEL1/dynein.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Does binding of the PAF-AH alpha2/alpha2 dimer to LIS1 regulate the pool of LIS1 available to NDEL1/dynein in neurons, i.e. is there physiological cross-talk between PAF signalling and dynein-driven nucleokinesis?

Suggested experts: dynein/LIS1 structural biologists, PAF-AH biochemists

Q: Should LIS1's dynein role be captured as cytoskeletal motor activator activity (GO:0140660) rather than the regulator parent, given that LIS1 promotes dynein-dynactin assembly but also restrains motility in some assays?

Suggested experts: GO molecular-function editors, dynein motor biophysicists

Q: Is there evidence for a nucleoplasmic LIS1 pool (e.g. via INTS13) that would support the IBA nucleus annotation?

Suggested experts: PAINT curators

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Express LIS1 mutants that selectively disrupt PAF-AH alpha-dimer binding versus dynein/NDEL1 binding in cortical slices and image nucleus-centrosome coupling.

Hypothesis: Nucleokinesis requires the dynein-binding surface but not PAF-AH binding.

Type: in utero electroporation with separation-of-function mutants and live imaging

Experiment: Reconstitute dynein-dynactin-BICD2 motility with wild-type or lissencephaly-mutant LIS1 under optical-trap load.

Hypothesis: Lissencephaly mutations impair LIS1-dependent dynein complex assembly and high-load force persistence.

Type: single-molecule reconstitution/optical trapping
