ARL13B controls male reproductive tract physiology through primary and Motile Cilia [PDF]
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

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 ...

Arl13b regulates ciliogenesis and the dynamic localization of Shh signaling proteins
Arl13b, a ciliary protein within the ADP-ribosylation factor family and Ras superfamily of GTPases, is required for ciliary structure but has poorly defined ciliary functions. In this paper, we further characterize the role of Arl13b in cilia by examining mutant cilia in vitro and determining the localization and dynamics of Arl13b within the cilium ...

Disruption of the ciliary GTPase Arl13b suppresses Sonic hedgehog overactivation and inhibits medulloblastoma formation [PDF]
Significance Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor. Current therapies are associated with negative side effects, and one-fourth of patients are treatment-resistant or develop tumor progression. Since 30% of medulloblastomas exhibit activation of the Sonic hedgehog (Shh) pathway, much research centers on ...

Interaction of INPP5E with ARL13B is essential for its ciliary membrane retention but dispensable for its ciliary entry [PDF]
Compositions of proteins and lipids within cilia and on the ciliary membrane are maintained to be distinct from those of the cytoplasm and plasma membrane, respectively, by the presence of the ciliary gate. INPP5E is a phosphoinositide 5-phosphatase that

Smoothened and ARL13B are critical in mouse for superior cerebellar peduncle targeting [PDF]
AbstractPatients with the ciliopathy Joubert syndrome present with physical anomalies, intellectual disability, and a hindbrain malformation described as the “molar tooth sign” due to its appearance on an MRI. This radiological abnormality results from a combination of hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis and inappropriate targeting of the white matter ...

Arl13b regulates early endocytic vesicle trafficking [PDF]
We attempted to find new proteins involved in the regulation of the endocytic recycling pathway used by CD1a, a MHC Class I-like lipid antigen-presenting molecule that follows an endocytic recycling pathway similar to that used by MHC Class I and other cargo internalized independently of clathrin.

Multiple ciliary localization signals control INPP5E ciliary targeting [PDF]
Primary cilia are sensory membrane protrusions whose dysfunction causes ciliopathies. INPP5E is a ciliary phosphoinositide phosphatase mutated in ciliopathies like Joubert syndrome.

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.

The unusual flagellar-targeting mechanism and functions of the trypanosome ortholog of the ciliary GTPase Arl13b [PDF]
ABSTRACT The small GTPase Arl13b is one of the most conserved and ancient ciliary proteins. In human and animals, Arl13b is primarily associated with the ciliary membrane, where it acts as a guanine-nucleotide-exchange factor (GEF) for Arl3 and is implicated in a variety of ciliary and cellular functions.
