| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Primary cilia function as cell’s antenna and malfunction of this organelle causes various diseases called ciliopathy. Once cells exit cell cycle and go to quiescent phase, a primary cilium is formed. On the other hand, the primary cilium disappears when cells reenter to cell cycle. However, molecular mechanisms underlying assembly and disappearance of primary cilia are unclear. Here, we identified Talpid3 to associate with centriolar proteins CP110 and Kif24, requisite proteins for regulation of primary ciliogenesis. We showed that Talpid3 and Cep290, a causal protein of ciliopathies, play an essential role in early stage of primary ciliogenesis by controlling ciliary vesicle formation.
