eLife, 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 ...

Spontaneous creation of macroscopic flow and metachronal waves in an array of cilia [PDF]
, 2006 Cells or bacteria carrying cilia on their surface show many striking features : alignment of cilia in an array, two-phase asymmetric beating for each cilium, coordination between cilia and existence of metachronal waves with a constant phase difference ...

A recombinant BBSome core complex and how it interacts with ciliary cargo
eLife, 2017 Cilia are small, antenna-like structures on the surface of eukaryotic cells that harbor a unique set of sensory proteins, including GPCRs and other membrane proteins.

Mixing and transport by ciliary carpets: a numerical study [PDF]
, 2013 We use a 3D computational model to study the fluid transport and mixing due to the beating of an infinite array of cilia. In accord with recent experiments, we observe two distinct regions: a fluid transport region above the cilia and a fluid mixing ...

Ciliary control of adipocyte progenitor cell fate regulates energy storage
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 The primary cilium is a cellular sensory organelle found in most cells in our body. This includes adipocyte progenitor cells in our adipose tissue, a complex organ involved in energy storage, endocrine signaling, and thermogenesis.

Smoothened adopts multiple active and inactive conformations capable of trafficking to the primary cilium. [PDF]
, 2009 Activation of Hedgehog (Hh) signaling requires the transmembrane protein Smoothened (Smo), a member of the G-protein coupled receptor superfamily. In mammals, Smo translocates to the primary cilium upon binding of Hh ligands to their receptor, Patched ...

Primary Cilia in Pancreatic β- and α-Cells: Time to Revisit the Role of Insulin-Degrading Enzyme
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 The primary cilium is a narrow organelle located at the surface of the cell in contact with the extracellular environment. Once underappreciated, now is thought to efficiently sense external environmental cues and mediate cell-to-cell communication ...

Ciliary chemosensitivity is enhanced by cilium geometry and motility
eLife, 2021 Cilia are hairlike organelles involved in both sensory functions and motility. We discuss the question of whether the location of chemical receptors on cilia provides an advantage in terms of sensitivity and whether motile sensory cilia have a further ...

The photoreceptor cilium and its diseases [PDF]
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2019 Light sensation occurs in photoreceptor outer segments (OS), which derive from highly specialized primary cilia, based on structural and molecular similarities. Ciliary dysfunction causes ciliopathies, in which retinal degeneration is common. The connecting cilium (CC) is the obligate passage for proteins moving between ciliary and cellular compartment,

Heat shock induces rapid resorption of primary cilia [PDF]
, 2012 Primary cilia are involved in important developmental and disease pathways, such as the regulation of neurogenesis and tumorigenesis. They function as sensory antennae and are essential in the regulation of key extracellular signalling systems.
