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 ...

Targeting of CRMP-2 to the primary cilium is modulated by GSK-3β. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 CRMP-2 plays a pivotal role in promoting axon formation, neurite outgrowth and elongation in neuronal cells. CRMP-2's role in other cells is unknown. Our preliminary results showed CRMP-2 expression in cilia of fibroblasts. To localize CRMP-2, define its

The chondrocyte primary cilium [PDF]
Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 2014 The presence and role of primary, or non-motile, cilia on chondrocytes has confused cartilage researchers for decades. Initial explanations attributed a vestigial nature to chondrocyte cilia. Evidence is now emerging that supports the role of the chondrocyte primary cilium as a sensory organelle, in particular, in mechanotransduction and as a ...

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.

Assembling a primary cilium [PDF]
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2013 Cilia are evolutionarily conserved, membrane-bound, microtubular projections emanating from the cell surface. They are assembled on virtually all cell types in the human body, with very few exceptions, and several recent reviews have covered the topic in great detail.

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 ...

CRB3 navigates Rab11 trafficking vesicles to promote γTuRC assembly during ciliogenesis
eLife, 2023 The primary cilium plays important roles in regulating cell differentiation, signal transduction, and tissue organization. Dysfunction of the primary cilium can lead to ciliopathies and cancer.

Primary Cilium-Dependent Signaling Mechanisms [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2017 Primary cilia are hair-like organelles and play crucial roles in vertebrate development, organogenesis, health, and many genetic disorders. A primary cilium is a mechano-sensory organelle that responds to mechanical stimuli in the micro-environment. A cilium is also a chemosensor that senses chemical signals surrounding a cell.

Single-molecule imaging in the primary cilium. [PDF]
Methods Cell Biol, 2023 The primary cilium is an important signaling organelle critical for normal development and tissue homeostasis. Its small dimensions and complexity necessitate advanced imaging approaches to uncover the molecular mechanisms behind its function. Here, we outline how single-molecule fluorescence microscopy can be used for tracking molecular dynamics and ...
