The planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling pathway governs collective movements during vertebrate embryogenesis, and certain PCP proteins are also implicated in the assembly of cilia. septins cytoskeletal controlling behaviors such as division migration. Here, we identified control septin localization by protein Fritz a crucial point for both movement ciliogenesis Xenopus embryos. We linked mutations human to Bardet-Biedl Meckel-Gruber syndromes, notable link given that other genes mutated...
Abstract Mutations in pre-mRNA processing factors (PRPFs) cause autosomal-dominant retinitis pigmentosa (RP), but it is unclear why mutations ubiquitously expressed genes non-syndromic retinal disease. Here, we generate transcriptome profiles from RP11 ( PRPF31 -mutated) patient-derived organoids and pigment epithelium (RPE), as well Prpf31 +/− mouse tissues, which revealed that disrupted alternative splicing occurred for specific programmes. Mis-splicing of encoding proteins was limited to...
Meckel–Gruber syndrome (MKS) is an autosomal recessive lethal malformation characterized by renal cystic dysplasia, central nervous system malformations (typically, posterior occipital encephalocele), and hepatic developmental defects. Two MKS genes, MKS1 MKS3 , have been identified recently. The present study describes the cellular, sub-cellular functional characterization of novel proteins, meckelin, encoded these genes. In situ hybridization studies for in early human embryos showed...
