A G-protein activation cascade from Arl13B to Arl3 and implications for ciliary targeting of lipidated proteins

open access: yeseLife, 2015
Small G-proteins of the ADP-ribosylation-factor-like (Arl) subfamily have been shown to be crucial to ciliogenesis and cilia maintenance. Active Arl3 is involved in targeting and releasing lipidated cargo proteins from their carriers PDE6δ and UNC119a/b ...

PDE6δ-mediated sorting of INPP5E into the cilium is determined by cargo-carrier affinity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The phosphodiesterase 6 delta subunit (PDE6δ) shuttles several farnesylated cargos between membranes. The cargo sorting mechanism between cilia and other compartments is not understood.

Dissecting the Vesicular Trafficking Function of IFT Subunits

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Intraflagellar transport (IFT) was initially identified as a transport machine with multiple protein subunits, and it is essential for the assembly, disassembly, and maintenance of cilium/flagellum, which serves as the nexus of extracellular-to ...

Primary cilium: a paradigm for integrating mathematical modeling with experiments and numerical simulations in mechanobiology

open access: yesMathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2021
Primary cilia are non-motile, solitary (one per cell) microtubule-based organelles that emerge from the mother centriole after cells have exited the mitotic cycle.

A boundary element regularised Stokeslet method applied to cilia and flagella-driven flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A boundary element implementation of the regularised Stokeslet method of Cortez is applied to cilia and flagella-driven flows in biology. Previously-published approaches implicitly combine the force discretisation and the numerical quadrature used to ...

Predicting the locations of force-generating dyneins in beating cilia and flagella

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Cilia and flagella are slender cylindrical organelles whose bending waves propel cells through fluids and drive fluids across epithelia. The bending waves are generated by dynein motor proteins, ATPases whose force-generating activity changes over time ...

Drive, filter, and stick: A protein sorting conspiracy in photoreceptors. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The sorting of proteins into different functional compartments is a fundamental cellular task. In this issue, Maza et al. (2019. J. Cell Biol https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201906024) demonstrate that distinct protein populations are dynamically generated ...

The Cilium Secretes Bioactive Ectosomes [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2013
The release of membrane vesicles from the surface of cells into their surrounding environment is now recognized as an important pathway for the delivery of proteins to extracellular sites of biological function. Membrane vesicles of this kind, termed exosomes and ectosomes, are the result of active processes and have been shown to carry a wide array of
