| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The nephronophthisis protein (NPHP) is mainly localized to the primary cilia, which are intracellular organelles. Signals transmitted by primary cilia are thought to regulate cell proliferation, cell polarity, cell differentiation, and so on. In this study, we analyzed a molecular complex thought to be involved in signal transduction from cilia. As a result, it was revealed that ANKS6, which is NPHP16, is accumulated in the ciliary rootlet in addition to the primary cilia INV compartment. Furthermore, BICC1 and ANKS3, which are cystic kidney-related proteins, were also confirmed to be localized in the rootlet, suggesting that they form a large complex with ANKS6 and are involved in the maintenance of renal morphology.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
嚢胞腎関連遺伝子であるANKS6, BICC1, ANKS3の局在、結合能などを詳細に解析した結果、BICC1-ANKS3-ANKS6は一次繊毛ルートレットに局在し、巨大な複合体を形成していることを明らかにした。その結果、これまで数多く報告されてきたが未解明な点が多かった嚢胞腎関連遺伝子間の相互作用の理解に貢献できたと考える。
