The schizophrenic faces of PICK1

Abstract: Schizophrenia is a grave psychiatric disorder with psychotic symptoms and an enigmatic etiology. Family studies have strongly indicated that genetic risk factors have a role in this disease. Recent findings, together with previously established evidence, highlight the PDZ-domain-containing protein interacting with C-kinase 1 (PICK1) as a promising candidate for a schizophrenia susceptibility gene. Here, we outline possible molecular mechanisms, discuss clinical case-studies that indicate an unexpected role of … Show more

“…Recently, disrupted endocytic trafficking found in many brain disorders has attracted much attention. Defective endocytosis is implicated in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (Dev and Henley, 2006; Schubert et al, 2012), impaired endosomal sorting is linked to Down’s syndrome (Wang et al, 2013) and altered endosomal recycling is associated with autism (Mejias et al, 2011). These discoveries together suggest a critical role for endocytic trafficking in human cognition, although the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown.…”

“…Brains of SCZ patients have lower levels of PICK1 and other proteins critical for AMPAR function and trafficking, including GluA2 and stargazin (Beneyto & Meador-Woodruff 2006). PICK1 additionally interacts with multiple proteins implicated in SCZ, including SR and ZDHHC8 (Dev & Henley 2006).…”

“…PICK1 is widely expressed in brain, testis, heart, lung, liver, kidney and muscle [12]. Its abnormal expression in brain has been linked to schizophrenia and other mental disorders [21][22][23]. However, the significance of PICK1 in other organs has not been well characterized.…”
