Abstract
LIS1 (LISSENCEPHALY-1, also known as PAFAH1B1) is the first gene identified and reported to be involved in neuronal migration. Multiple studies have demonstrated that LIS1 is vital in regulating the critical retrograde molecular motor, cytoplasmic dynein. Recent studies show that LIS1 is an essential protein interacting with numerous others, including many RNA-interacting proteins. These findings position LIS1 as a critical hub protein involved in pleiotropic traits. This chapter will discuss how LIS1 can participate in diverse processes, from basic RNA biology to biomechanics regulation, and how its malfunction may contribute to the pathophysiology of various CNS diseases.
