Arl13b-regulated cilia activities are essential for polarized radial glial scaffold formation [PDF]
The construction of cerebral cortex begins with the formation of radial glia. Once formed, polarized radial glial cells divide either symmetrically or asymmetrically to balance appropriate production of progenitor cells and neurons. Upon birth, neurons use the processes of radial glia as scaffolding for oriented migration.

Alteration of primary cilia and intraflagellar transport 20 (IFT20) expression in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines [PDF]

Arl13b Regulates Breast Cancer Cell Migration and Invasion by Controlling Integrin-Mediated Signaling [PDF]
Breast cancer is the first cause of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide, according to the most recent estimates. This mortality is mainly caused by the tumors’ ability to form metastases. Cancer cell migration and invasion are essential for metastasis and rely on the interplay between actin cytoskeleton remodeling and cell adhesion ...

Palmitoylation of the ciliary GTPase ARL13b is necessary for its stability and its role in cilia formation [PDF]
Primary cilia are hairlike extensions of the plasma membrane of most mammalian cells that serve specialized signaling functions. To traffic properly to cilia, multiple cilia proteins rely on palmitoylation, the post-translational attachment of a saturated 16-carbon lipid.

Arl13b regulates Shh signaling from both inside and outside the cilium
The regulatory GTPase Arl13b localizes to primary cilia, where it regulates Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling. Missense mutations in ARL13B can cause the ciliopathy Joubert syndrome (JS), and the mouse null allele is embryonic lethal. We used mouse embryonic fibroblasts as a system to determine the effects of Arl13b mutations on Shh signaling.

Arl13b in Primary Cilia Regulates the Migration and Placement of Interneurons in the Developing Cerebral Cortex [PDF]
Coordinated migration and placement of interneurons and projection neurons lead to functional connectivity in the cerebral cortex; defective neuronal migration and the resultant connectivity changes underlie the cognitive defects in a spectrum of neurological disorders.

Identification of a novel ARL13B variant in a Joubert syndrome-affected patient with retinal impairment and obesity [PDF]
Joubert syndrome (JS) is a genetically heterogeneous autosomal recessive ciliopathy with 22 genes implicated to date, including a small, ciliary GTPase, ARL13B. ARL13B is required for cilia formation in vertebrates. JS patients display multiple symptoms characterized by ataxia due to the cerebellar vermis hypoplasia, and that can also include ocular ...

Arl13b Promotes Gastric Tumorigenesis by Regulating Smo Trafficking and Activation of the Hedgehog Signaling Pathway [PDF]
Abstract Inhibitors of the Hedgehog (Hh) pathway transducer Smoothened (Smo) have been approved for cancer treatment, but Smo mutations often lead to tumor resistance and it remains unclear how Smo is regulated. In this study, we identified the small GTPase Arl13b as a novel partner and regulator of Smo.
