MLN4924: additional activities beyond neddylation inhibition
MLN4924, a small molecular inhibitor of NEDD8 (neuronal precursor cell-expressed developmentally downregulated protein 8) activating enzyme (NAE), blocks cullin neddylation to inactivate cullin-RING ligase. We found that MLN4924 has additional activities:

Loss of MACF1 Abolishes Ciliogenesis and Disrupts Apicobasal Polarity Establishment in the Retina
Summary: Microtubule actin crosslinking factor 1 (MACF1) plays a role in the coordination of microtubules and actin in multiple cellular processes. Here, we show that MACF1 is also critical for ciliogenesis in multiple cell types.

Primary cilia contribute to the aggressiveness of atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors
Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a highly malignant brain tumor in infants that is characterized by loss of nuclear expression of SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 proteins. Recent studies show that AT/RTs comprise three molecular subgroups, namely AT/RT-TYR,

The master cell cycle regulator APC-Cdc20 regulates ciliary length and disassembly of the primary cilium [PDF]
The primary cilium has an important role in signaling; defects in structure are associated with a variety of human diseases. Much of the most basic biology of this organelle is poorly understood, even basic mechanisms, such as control of growth and ...

Identification of cilia genes that affect cell-cycle progression using whole-genome transcriptome analysis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtti [PDF]
Cilia are microtubule based organelles that project from cells. Cilia are found on almost every cell type of the human body and numerous diseases, collectively termed ciliopathies, are associated with defects in cilia, including respiratory infections ...

TTBK2‐Driven Ciliogenesis Is Required for Intrinsic Neuronal Regeneration After Spinal Cord Injury
TTBK2‐dependent ciliogenesis is required for intrinsic neuronal regeneration after spinal cord injury. Loss of TTBK2 disrupts primary cilium integrity, attenuates SHH signaling, and impairs axonal regrowth. Restoring SHH activity partially rescues neuronal structural deficits, highlighting the TTBK2/cilium–SHH as a therapeutic target.

Primary cilia elongation in response to interleukin-1 mediates the inflammatory response [PDF]
Primary cilia are singular, cytoskeletal organelles present in the majority of mammalian cell types where they function as coordinating centres for mechanotransduction, Wnt and hedgehog signalling. The length of the primary cilium is proposed to modulate

Sphingolipids are vital components of cell membranes. Metabolic disruptions of sphingolipids, including ceramide and sphingosine‐1‐phosphate, are linked to neurological disorders. This article summarizes the classification, structure, and metabolic processes of sphingolipids, and the physiological and pathological effects of sphingolipid metabolism and
