abstract = {Disrupted in schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) is a scaffold protein
that regulates several physiological processes ranging from
cellular division to neurodevelopment, and its dysfunction
contributes to various neurological disorders including
schizophrenia, bipolar and mood disorders, and autism. Thus,
deciphering its native functions and pathophysiological
roles is crucial. In this report, three disease-associated
mutants of the C-region of DISC1, i.e., S713E, S704C, and
L807-frameshift, were examined to further elucidate the role
of DISC1 in cell division. We demonstrate that the mutations
do not render the variants functionally inactive; instead,
the interaction sites are presumably lost during the
aggregation of the DISC1 C-region into amyloid-type fibrils.
The minimal fibrillizing element in the C-region is the
intrinsically disordered β-core (716‒761) that houses a
segment absent in the splice variant DISC1Δ22aa, which
cannot bind proteins of the mitotic spindle complex and thus
hampers cellular proliferation. Based on these
structure-function relationships, we present a rational drug
development strategy using phage display technology and
highlight the role of peptide mimetics in curtailing the
agglomeration of fibrils.},
