Cildb: a knowledgebase for centrosomes and cilia
Ciliopathies, pleiotropic diseases provoked by defects in the structure or function of cilia or flagella, reflect the multiple roles of cilia during development, in stem cells, in somatic organs and germ cells. High throughput studies have revealed several hundred proteins that are involved in the composition, function or biogenesis of cilia. The corresponding genes are potential candidates for...
متن کاملCentrioles, Centrosomes, and Cilia in Health and Disease
Centrioles are barrel-shaped structures that are essential for the formation of centrosomes, cilia, and flagella. Here we review recent advances in our understanding of the function and biogenesis of these organelles, and we emphasize their connection to human disease. Deregulation of centrosome numbers has long been proposed to contribute to genome instability and tumor formation, whereas muta...
متن کاملThe Centrioles, Centrosomes, Basal Bodies, and Cilia of Drosophila melanogaster
Centrioles play a key role in the development of the fly. They are needed for the correct formation of centrosomes, the organelles at the poles of the spindle that can persist as microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs) into interphase. The ability to nucleate cytoplasmic microtubules (MTs) is a property of the surrounding pericentriolar material (PCM). The centriole has a dual life, existing not...
متن کاملSupernumerary Centrosomes Nucleate Extra Cilia and Compromise Primary Cilium Signaling
The primary cilium is a nexus of cell signaling, and ciliary dysfunction is associated with polycystic kidney disease, retinal degeneration, polydactyly, neural tube defects, and obesity (ciliopathies). Signaling molecules for cilium-associated pathways are concentrated in the cilium, and this is essential for efficient signaling. Cilia are nucleated from centrioles, and aberrant centriole numb...
متن کاملCharacterization of the nephrocystin/nephrocystin-4 complex and subcellular localization of nephrocystin-4 to primary cilia and centrosomes.
Nephrocystin and nephrocystin-4 are newly identified proteins involved in familial juvenile nephronophthisis, an autosomal recessive nephropathy characterized by cyst formation and renal fibrosis. Nephrocystin is an adaptor protein that is able to associate with signaling molecules involved in cell adhesion and actin cytoskeleton organization, such as p130Cas, Pyk2, tensin and filamins. Nephroc...
