Redundant functions of I-BAR family members, IRSp53 and IRTKS, are essential for embryonic development

Abstract: The insulin receptor substrate of 53 kDa, IRSp53, is an adaptor protein that works with activated GTPases, Cdc42 and Rac, to modulate actin dynamics and generate membrane protrusions in response to cell signaling. Adult mice that lack IRSp53 fail to regulate synaptic plasticity and exhibit hippocampus-associated learning deficiencies. Here, we show that 60% of IRSp53 null embryos die at mid to late gestation, indicating a vital IRSp53 function in embryonic development. We find that IRSp53 KO embryos displayed … Show more

“…Prompted by these observations, we examined the renal architecture in the IRSp53 -KO mice. IRSp53 -KO mice have a partially penetrant mid-gestation lethality that is due to defects in placental morphogenesis, as previously reported 41 . Some 20% to 25% of these mice, however, are born fertile and devoid of gross tissue dysmorphology 8 , 42 , 43 .…”

“…Prompted by these observations, we examined whether there might also be similar renal architectural alterations in the IRSp53-KO mice. IRSp53-KO mice have a partially penetrant mid-gestation lethality that is due to defects in placental morphogenesis, as previously reported (data not shown; and 37 ). Some 20% to 25% of these mice, however, are born fertile and devoid of gross tissue dysmorphology 12,38,39 .…”

“…The binding to small GTPases at this region has also been reported for IRTKS, a paralog of IRSp53 (Millard et al, 2007). IRSp53 and IRTKS are essential genes as their double knockouts exhibit embryonic lethality (Chou et al, 2017).…”
