Loss of a primary cilia protein ARL13B promotes TGFβ-1 induced EMT of RPE in proliferative vitreoretinopathy via increasing Smad3 expression [PDF]
BackgroundProliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a major complication of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) plays a central role in PVR pathogenesis.

Knocking out ARL13B completely abolishes primary ciliogenesis in cell lines [PDF]
Small G protein ARL13B localizes to the cilium and plays essential roles in cilium biogenesis, organization, trafficking, and signaling. Here, we established multiple ARL13B knockout cell lines using the CRISPR/Cas9 system.

ARL13B regulates Sonic hedgehog signaling from outside primary cilia [PDF]
ARL13B is a regulatory GTPase highly enriched in cilia. Complete loss of Arl13b disrupts cilia architecture, protein trafficking and Sonic hedgehog signaling. To determine whether ARL13B is required within cilia, we knocked in a cilia-excluded variant of

Axoneme polyglutamylation regulated by Joubert syndrome protein ARL13B controls ciliary targeting of signaling molecules [PDF]
The small GTPase ARL13B is mutated in the human ciliopathy Joubert syndrome. Here the authors show that ARL13B and the RAB11 effector FIP5 promote import of tubulin glutamylase into cilia and as such axoneme polyglutamylation, which is demonstrated to be

Postnatal Dynamic Ciliary ARL13B and ADCY3 Localization in the Mouse Brain [PDF]
Primary cilia are hair-like structures found on nearly all mammalian cell types, including cells in the developing and adult brain. A diverse set of receptors and signaling proteins localize within cilia to regulate many physiological and developmental ...

ARL13B controls male reproductive tract physiology through primary and Motile Cilia
ARL13B is a small regulatory GTPase that controls ciliary membrane composition in both motile cilia and non-motile primary cilia. In this study, we investigated the role of ARL13B in the efferent ductules, tubules of the male reproductive tract essential

Increasing Ciliary ARL13B Expression Drives Active and Inhibitor-Resistant Smoothened and GLI into Glioma Primary Cilia [PDF]
ADP-ribosylation factor-like protein 13B (ARL13B), a regulatory GTPase and guanine exchange factor (GEF), enriches in primary cilia and promotes tumorigenesis in part by regulating Smoothened (SMO), GLI, and Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling.

Enhanced Ciliogenesis of Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells by Simulated Microgravity [PDF]
Spaceflight induces a wide array of effects on the human body, notably including pathological changes mediated by alterations in gravity. Abnormalities in the formation of primary cilia (ciliogenesis) can lead to cell cycle arrest and decreased ...

Differences in neuronal ciliation rate and ciliary content revealed by systematic imaging-based analysis of hiPSC-derived models across protocols [PDF]
IntroductionCiliopathies are a group of human Mendelian disorders caused by dysfunction of primary cilia, small quasi-ubiquitous sensory organelles. Patients suffering from ciliopathies often display prominent neurodevelopmental phenotypes, underscoring ...
