| Abstract: | A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) represent a family of structurally diverse proteins, all of which bind protein kinase A (PKA). A member of this family is Glycogen synthase kinase 3{beta} (GSK3{beta}) interaction protein (GSKIP). GSKIP interacts with PKA and also directly with GSK3{beta}. The physiological function of the GSKIP protein in vivo is unknown. We developed and characterized a conditional knockout mouse model and found that GSKIP deficiency caused lethality at birth. Embryos obtained through Caesarean section at embryonic day E18.5 were cyanotic, suffered from respiratory distress, and failed to initiate breathing properly. Additionally, all GSKIP-deficient embryos showed an incomplete closure of the palatal shelves accompanied by a delay in ossification along the fusion area of secondary palatal bones. On the molecular level, GSKIP deficiency resulted in decreased phosphorylation of GSK3{beta} at Ser9 starting early in development (E 10.5), leading to enhanced GSK3{beta} activity. At embryonic day 18.5 GSK3{beta} activity decreased to levels close to that of wild type. Our findings reveal a novel, crucial role for GSKIP in the coordination of GSK3{beta} signaling in palatal shelf fusion. |
