Cilia are essential for fertilization, respiratory clearance, cerebrospinal fluid circulation and establishing laterality. Cilia motility defects cause primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD, MIM244400), a disorder affecting 1:15,000-30,000 births. Cilia motility requires the assembly of multisubunit dynein arms that drive ciliary bending. Despite progress in understanding the genetic basis of PCD, mutations remain to be identified for several PCD-linked loci. Here we show that the zebrafish cilia paralysis mutant schmalhans (smh(tn222)) encodes the coiled-coil domain containing 103 protein (Ccdc103), a foxj1a-regulated gene product. Screening 146 unrelated PCD families identified individuals in six families with reduced outer dynein arms who carried mutations in CCDC103. Dynein arm assembly in smh mutant zebrafish was rescued by wild-type but not mutant human CCDC103. Chlamydomonas Ccdc103/Pr46b functions as a tightly bound, axoneme-associated protein. These results identify Ccdc103 as a dynein arm attachment factor that causes primary ciliary dyskinesia when mutated. 相似文献

The mammalian sodium channel BNC1 is required for normal touch sensation 总被引:27,自引:0,他引:27
Price MP Lewin GR McIlwrath SL Cheng C Xie J Heppenstall PA Stucky CL Mannsfeldt AG Brennan TJ Drummond HA Qiao J Benson CJ Tarr DE Hrstka RF Yang B Williamson RA Welsh MJ 《Nature》2000,407(6807):1007-1011
Of the vertebrate senses, touch is the least understood at the molecular level The ion channels that form the core of the mechanosensory complex and confer touch sensitivity remain unknown. However, the similarity of the brain sodium channel 1 (BNC1) to nematode proteins involved in mechanotransduction indicated that it might be a part of such a mechanosensor. Here we show that disrupting the mouse BNC1 gene markedly reduces the sensitivity of a specific component of mechanosensation: low-threshold rapidly adapting mechanoreceptors. In rodent hairy skin these mechanoreceptors are excited by hair movement. Consistent with this function, we found BNC1 in the lanceolate nerve endings that lie adjacent to and surround the hair follicle. Although BNC1 has been proposed to have a role in pH sensing, the acid-evoked current in cultured sensory neurons and the response of acid-stimulated nociceptors were normal in BNC1 null mice. These data identify the BNC1 channel as essential for the normal detection of light touch and indicate that BNC1 may be a central component of a mechanosensory complex. 相似文献

Alteration in crossbridge kinetics caused by mutations in actin 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The generation of force during muscle contraction results from the interaction of myosin and actin. The kinetics of this force generation vary between different muscle types and within the same muscle type in different species. Most attention has focused on the role of myosin isoforms in determining these differences. The role of actin isoforms has received little attention, largely because of the lack of a suitable cell type in which the myosin isoform remains constant yet the actin isoforms vary. An alternative approach would be to examine the effect of actin mutations, however, most of these cause such gross disruption of muscle structure that mechanical measurements are impossible. We have now identified two actin mutations which, despite involving conserved amino acids, can assemble into virtually normal myofibrils. These amino-acid changes in actin significantly affect the kinetics of force generation by muscle fibres. One of the mutations is not in the putative myosin-binding site, demonstrating the importance of long-range effects of amino acids on actin function. 相似文献

Mutations in INVS encoding inversin cause nephronophthisis type 2, linking renal cystic disease to the function of primary cilia and left-right axis determination 总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20
Otto EA Schermer B Obara T O'Toole JF Hiller KS Mueller AM Ruf RG Hoefele J Beekmann F Landau D Foreman JW Goodship JA Strachan T Kispert A Wolf MT Gagnadoux MF Nivet H Antignac C Walz G Drummond IA Benzing T Hildebrandt F 《Nature genetics》2003,34(4):413-420
Nephronophthisis (NPHP), an autosomal recessive cystic kidney disease, leads to chronic renal failure in children. The genes mutated in NPHP1 and NPHP4 have been identified, and a gene locus associated with infantile nephronophthisis (NPHP2) was mapped. The kidney phenotype of NPHP2 combines clinical features of NPHP and polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Here, we identify inversin (INVS) as the gene mutated in NPHP2 with and without situs inversus. We show molecular interaction of inversin with nephrocystin, the product of the gene mutated in NPHP1 and interaction of nephrocystin with beta-tubulin, a main component of primary cilia. We show that nephrocystin, inversin and beta-tubulin colocalize to primary cilia of renal tubular cells. Furthermore, we produce a PKD-like renal cystic phenotype and randomization of heart looping by knockdown of invs expression in zebrafish. The interaction and colocalization in cilia of inversin, nephrocystin and beta-tubulin connect pathogenetic aspects of NPHP to PKD, to primary cilia function and to left-right axis determination. 相似文献

We report results of a nonsynonymous SNP scan for ulcerative colitis and identify a previously unknown susceptibility locus at ECM1. We also show that several risk loci are common to ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease (IL23R, IL12B, HLA, NKX2-3 and MST1), whereas autophagy genes ATG16L1 and IRGM, along with NOD2 (also known as CARD15), are specific for Crohn's disease. These data provide the first detailed illustration of the genetic relationship between these common inflammatory bowel diseases. 相似文献
