Targeting E3 Ubiquitin Ligases and Deubiquitinases in Ciliopathy and Cancer
Cilia are antenna-like structures present in many vertebrate cells. These organelles detect extracellular cues, transduce signals into the cell, and play an essential role in ensuring correct cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation in a ...

Bioinformatics‐Based Comparative Analysis of the Human Retina Proteome
ABSTRACT Introduction The human retina relies on a complex network of proteins, many of which exhibit intrinsic disorder and liquid‐liquid phase separation (LLPS), enabling dynamic interactions for retinal function. Disruptions in these properties, along with missense mutations, have been linked to retinal diseases.

Survivin-induced abnormal ploidy contributes to cystic kidney and aneurysm formation [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Cystic kidneys and vascular aneurysms are clinical manifestations seen in patients with polycystic kidney disease, a cilia-associated pathology (ciliopathy).

Biallelic FGF4 Variants Linked to Thoracic Dystrophy and Respiratory Insufficiency
We report three people from two unrelated families with a clinical diagnosis of thoracic dystrophy characterized by short or missing ribs, narrow chest, and respiratory insufficiency. Affected people each have rare, biallelic, predicted deleterious missense substitutions in FGF4, a gene known to be essential for the formation of the thoracic skeleton ...

Analysis of cilia dysfunction phenotypes in zebrafish embryos depleted of origin recognition complex factors [PDF]
Meier–Gorlin syndrome (MGS) is a rare, congenital primordial microcephalic dwarfism disorder. MGS is caused by genetic variants of components of the origin recognition complex (ORC) consisting of ORC1–6 and the pre-replication complex, which together ...

Mitochondrial control of ciliary gene expression and structure in striatal neurons
Abstract figure legend Neurons drive animal behaviour by receiving and transmitting information and require energy, primarily supplied by mitochondria, to function. Additionally, neurons need to sense environmental changes to adapt, a function that is locally played by the primary cilia.

Mechanisms of Nephronophthisis and Related Ciliopathies [PDF]
An emerging group of human genetic diseases termed ‘ciliopathies’ are caused by dysfunction of two functionally and physically associated organelles, the centrosome and cilium. These organelles are central to perception of the physical environment through detection of a diverse variety of extracellular signals such as growth factors, chemicals, light ...

Repeatability of Multiple Breath Washout in Pediatric Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia
ABSTRACT Background Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a motile ciliopathy characterized by abnormal mucociliary clearance and progressive lung disease. Spirometry is commonly used to monitor lung health and response to treatment, but it is known to be insensitive to early subclinical lung disease in PCD. Multiple breath washout is more sensitive than
