Sip1 is an important transcription factor that regulates several aspects of CNS development. Mutations in the humanSIP1gene have been implicated in Mowat-Wilson syndrome (MWS), characterized by severe mental retardation and agenesis of the corpus callosum. In this study we have shown thatSip1is essential for the formation of intracortical, intercortical, and cortico-subcortical connections in the murine forebrain.Sip1deletion from all postmitotic neurons in the neocortex results in lack of corpus callosum, anterior commissure, and corticospinal tract formation. Mosaic deletion ofSip1in the neocortex reveals defects in axonal growth and in ipsilateral intracortical-collateral formation. Sip1 mediates these effects through its direct downstream effector ninein, a microtubule binding protein. Ninein in turn influences the rate of axonal growth and branching by affecting microtubule stability and dynamics.
