Role for the IFT-A Complex in Selective Transport to the Primary Cilium

Cell Reports, 2016
Intraflagellar transport sub-complex A (IFT-A) is known to regulate retrograde IFT in the cilium. To rigorously assess its other possible roles, we knocked out an IFT-A subunit, IFT121/WDR35, in mammalian cells and screened the localization of more than ...

Ciliary Defects in Inherited Retinal Diseases [PDF]

Advanced Genetics
Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by progressive photoreceptor degeneration that frequently results in severe vision loss. A major cause of IRDs is attributed to structural or functional defects of the

Spectrum of Genetic Variants in a Cohort of 37 Laterality Defect Cases

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Laterality defects are defined by the perturbed left–right arrangement of organs in the body, occurring in a syndromal or isolated fashion. In humans, primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a frequent underlying condition of defective left–right patterning,

Adenylate Cyclase Type III Is Not a Ubiquitous Marker for All Primary Cilia during Development. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Adenylate cyclase type III (AC3) is localized in plasma membrane of neuronal primary cilium and can be used as a marker of this cilium. AC3 has also been detected in some other primary cilia such as those of fibroblasts, synoviocytes or astrocytes ...

Strongly Truncated Dnaaf4 Plays a Conserved Role in Drosophila Ciliary Dynein Assembly as Part of an R2TP-Like Co-Chaperone Complex With Dnaaf6

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Axonemal dynein motors are large multi-subunit complexes that drive ciliary movement. Cytoplasmic assembly of these motor complexes involves several co-chaperones, some of which are related to the R2TP co-chaperone complex.

Regulation of Primary Cilium Length by O-GlcNAc during Neuronal Development in a Human Neuron Model

Cells, 2023
The primary cilium plays critical roles in the homeostasis and development of neurons. Recent studies demonstrate that cilium length is regulated by the metabolic state of cells, as dictated by processes such as glucose flux and O-GlcNAcylation (OGN ...

A Proximity Mapping Journey into the Biology of the Mammalian Centrosome/Cilium Complex

Cells, 2020
The mammalian centrosome/cilium complex is composed of the centrosome, the primary cilium and the centriolar satellites, which together regulate cell polarity, signaling, proliferation and motility in cells and thereby development and homeostasis in ...

Dendritic cell proliferation by primary cilium in atopic dermatitis

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023
Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common allergic eczema that affects up to 10% of adults in developed countries. Immune cells in the epidermis, namely, Langerhans cells (LCs), contribute to the pathogenesis of AD, although their exact role(s) in

Forkhead transcription factor FKH-8 cooperates with RFX in the direct regulation of sensory cilia in Caenorhabditis elegans

eLife, 2023
Cilia, either motile or non-motile (a.k.a primary or sensory), are complex evolutionarily conserved eukaryotic structures composed of hundreds of proteins required for their assembly, structure and function that are collectively known as the ciliome ...

Design and Implementation of a Composite Hydrophone of Sound Pressure and Sound Pressure Gradient

Micromachines, 2021
The bionic cilium MEMS vector hydrophone has the characteristics of low power consumption, small volume, and good low-frequency response. Nevertheless, there exists the problem of left–right ambiguity in the azimuth estimation of a single hydrophone.
