Tubulin glutamylation: a key regulator of flagella, cilia, centrosomes, and disease pathways [PDF]
Tubulin glutamylation is an essential post-translational modification that expands the functional diversity of microtubules in many cellular structures, including flagella, motile cilia, primary cilia, centrosomes, and neurons.

LRRC56 deficiency cause motile ciliopathies in humans and mice [PDF]
IntroductionMotile ciliopathies represent a group of disorders caused by impaired motility of cilia and flagella, resulting in clinical manifestations such as laterality defects, asthenospermia, chronic respiratory infections, and hydrocephalus. Although

In-depth analysis of obesity-associated changes in adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells and primary cilia function [PDF]
Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (ASCs) possess regenerative potential. Obesity induces a pro-inflammatory environment that compromises their function.

A Quarter Century of EHD Protein Research: From Endosomal Recycling to Ciliopathies. [PDF]
Human EHD protein subcellular localization. ABSTRACT Eps15 homology domain‐containing proteins comprise a conserved family of membrane‐remodeling ATPases that regulate endocytic trafficking, membrane fission, receptor recycling, primary ciliogenesis and membrane dynamics across eukaryotes. Since the initial identification of EHD1 and its Caenorhabditis

Mutation of Growth Arrest Specific 8 Reveals a Role in Motile Cilia Function and Human Disease. [PDF]
Ciliopathies are genetic disorders arising from dysfunction of microtubule-based cellular appendages called cilia. Different cilia types possess distinct stereotypic microtubule doublet arrangements with non-motile or 'primary' cilia having a 9+0 and ...

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD): A genetic disorder of motile cilia
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic disorder of motile cilia. Clinical features include chronic oto-sino-pulmonary disease, laterality defects, and male fertility reflecting impaired function of respiratory cilia in the upper and lower respiratory tracts, nodal cilia in the embryonic node and sperm tails, respectively.

TULP4, a novel E3 ligase gene, participates in neuronal migration as a candidate in schizophrenia
Mutations identified from four SCZ pedigrees resulted in decreased TULP4 expression. Tulp4 knockdown caused delayed neuron migration in embryonic mice, and impaired cognition and prepulse inhibition in adult mice. These phenotypes may be related to TULP4 through its involvement in the formation of a novel E3 ubiquitin ligases.

Primary ciliary dyskinesia: A review
Context: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic disease characterized by impaired mucociliary clearance in the respiratory tract due to abnormal ciliary motility. The disease is often diagnosed late with bronchiectasis.
