Abstract

Neuronal migration: neurogenin 2 acts via Rnd2 Proneural transcription factors, such as neurogenin 2, are thought to control the expression of many genes during brain development to promote both the differentiation of neurons and their migration to their final locations in the cerebral cortex. A new study reveals that overexpression of a single target of neurogenin 2, Rnd2, can restore the neuronal migration defects of Neuogenin2-depleted neurons. Rnd2 is thus an atypical member of the Rho family of small GTP-ases, which regulate actin cytoskeleton dynamics, with its activity regulated at the gene transcription level, rather than by the usual post-translational GTP/GDP cycle.
