http://purl.uniprot.org/citations/30200754http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment"γ-Amino butyric acid (GABA) mediated signaling is critical in the central and enteric nervous systems, pancreas, lungs, and other tissues. It is associated with many neurological disorders and craniofacial development. Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) synthesizes GABA from glutamate, and knockdown of the gad1 gene results in craniofacial defects that are lethal in zebrafish. To bypass this and enable observation of the neurological defects resulting from knocking down gad1 expression, a photoactivatable morpholino oligonucleotide (MO) against gad1 was prepared by cyclization with a photocleavable linker rendering the MO inactive. The cyclized MO was stable in the dark and toward degradative enzymes and was completely linearized upon brief exposure to 405 nm light. In the course of investigating the function of the ccMOs in zebrafish, we discovered that zebrafish possess paralogous gad1 genes, gad1a and gad1b. A gad1b MO injected at the 1-4 cell stage caused severe morphological defects in head development, which could be bypassed, enabling the fish to develop normally, if the fish were injected with a photoactivatable, cyclized gad1b MO and grown in the dark. At 1 day post fertilization (dpf), light activation of the gad1b MO followed by observation at 3 and 7 dpf led to increased and abnormal electrophysiological brain activity compared to wild type animals. The photocleavable linker can be used to cyclize and inactivate any MO, and represents a general strategy to parse the function of developmentally important genes in a spatiotemporal manner."xsd:string
