Disruption of the basal body protein POC1B results in autosomal-recessive cone-rod dystrophy [PDF]
, 2014 Exome sequencing revealed a homozygous missense mutation (c.317C>G [p.Arg106Pro]) in POC1B, encoding POC1 centriolar protein B, in three siblings with autosomal-recessive cone dystrophy or cone-rod dystrophy and compound-heterozygous POC1B mutations (c ...

Basal bodies across eukaryotes series: basal bodies in the freshwater planarian Schmidtea mediterranea [PDF]
Cilia, 2016 The freshwater planarian Schmidtea mediterranea has recently emerged as a valuable model system to study basal bodies (BBs) and cilia. Planarians are free-living flatworms that use cilia beating at the surface of their ventral epidermis for gliding along substrates. The ventral epidermis is composed of multiciliated cells (MCCs) that are similar to the

mSphere, 2016 Basal bodies are essential microtubule-based structures that template, anchor, and orient cilia at the cell surface. Cilia act primarily in the generation of directional fluid flow and sensory reception, both of which are utilized for a broad spectrum of

Distribution of interstitial stem cells in Hydra [PDF]
, 1979 The distribution of interstitial stem cells along the Hydra body column was determined using a simplified cloning assay. The assay measures stem cells as clone-forming units (CFU) in aggregates of nitrogen mustard inactivated Hydra tissue.

Dzip1 and Fam92 form a ciliary transition zone complex with cell type specific roles in Drosophila
eLife, 2019 Cilia and flagella are conserved eukaryotic organelles essential for cellular signaling and motility. Cilia dysfunctions cause life-threatening ciliopathies, many of which are due to defects in the transition zone (TZ), a complex structure of the ciliary

Noncanonical Biogenesis of Centrioles and Basal Bodies [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology, 2017 Centrioles and basal bodies (CBBs) organize centrosomes and cilia within eukaryotic cells. These organelles are composed of microtubules and hundreds of proteins performing multiple functions such as signaling, cytoskeleton remodeling, and cell motility.

New Tetrahymena basal body protein components identify basal body domain structure [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 2007 Basal bodies organize the nine doublet microtubules found in cilia. Cilia are required for a variety of cellular functions, including motility and sensing stimuli. Understanding this biochemically complex organelle requires an inventory of the molecular components and the contribution each makes to the overall structure. We define a basal body proteome

Cellular Mechanisms of Ciliary Length Control
Cells, 2016 Cilia and flagella are evolutionarily conserved, membrane-bound, microtubule-based organelles on the surface of most eukaryotic cells. They play important roles in coordinating a variety of signaling pathways during growth, development, cell mobility ...
