Fujii T, Liang L, Nakayama K, Katoh Y. Defects in diffusion barrier function of ciliary transition zone caused by ciliopathy variations of TMEM218. Hum Mol Genet 2024; 33:1442-1453.

Abstract
Primary cilia are antenna-like structures protruding from the surface of various eukaryotic cells, and have distinct protein compositions in their membranes. This distinct protein composition is maintained by the presence of the transition zone (TZ) at the ciliary base, which acts as a diffusion barrier between the ciliary and plasma membranes. Defects in cilia and the TZ are known to cause a group of disorders collectively called the ciliopathies, which demonstrate a broad spectrum of clinical features, such as perinatally lethal Meckel syndrome (MKS), relatively mild Joubert syndrome (JBTS), and nonsyndromic nephronophthisis (NPHP). Proteins constituting the TZ can be grouped into the MKS and NPHP modules. The MKS module is composed of several transmembrane proteins and three soluble proteins. TMEM218 was recently reported to be mutated in individuals diagnosed as MKS and JBTS. However, little is known about how TMEM218 mutations found in MKS and JBTS affect the functions of cilia. In this study, we found that ciliary membrane proteins were not localized to cilia in TMEM218-knockout cells, indicating impaired barrier function of the TZ. Furthermore, the exogenous expression of JBTS-associated TMEM218 variants but not MKS-associated variants in TMEM218-knockout cells restored the localization of ciliary membrane proteins. In particular, when expressed in TMEM218-knockout cells, the TMEM218(R115H) variant found in JBTS was able to restore the barrier function of cells, whereas the MKS variant TMEM218(R115C) could not. Thus, the severity of symptoms of MKS and JBTS individuals appears to correlate with the degree of their ciliary defects at the cellular level.

Abstract
Cilia regeneration is a physiological event, and while studied extensively in unicellular organisms, it remains poorly understood in vertebrates. In this study, using Xenopus multiciliated cells (MCCs) as a model, we demonstrate that, unlike unicellular organisms, deciliation removes the transition zone (TZ) and the ciliary axoneme. While MCCs immediately begin the regeneration of the ciliary axoneme, surprisingly, the assembly of TZ is delayed. However, ciliary tip proteins, Sentan and Clamp, localize to regenerating cilia without delay. Using cycloheximide (CHX) to block new protein synthesis, we show that the TZ protein B9d1 is not a component of the cilia precursor pool and requires new transcription/translation, providing insights into the delayed repair of TZ. Moreover, MCCs in CHX treatment assemble fewer (∼ 10 vs. ∼150 in controls) but near wild-type length (ranging between 60 to 90%) cilia by gradually concentrating ciliogenesis proteins like IFTs at a select few basal bodies. Using mathematical modeling, we show that cilia length compared to cilia number influences the force generated by MCCs more. In summary, our results question the requirement of TZ in motile cilia assembly and provide insights into how cells determine organelle size and number.

Multiple interactions of the dynein-2 complex with the IFT-B complex are required for effective intraflagellar transport. J Cell Sci 2023; 136:286934.

Abstract
The dynein-2 complex must be transported anterogradely within cilia to then drive retrograde trafficking of the intraflagellar transport (IFT) machinery containing IFT-A and IFT-B complexes. Here, we screened for potential interactions between the dynein-2 and IFT-B complexes and found multiple interactions among the dynein-2 and IFT-B subunits. In particular, WDR60 (also known as DYNC2I1) and the DYNC2H1-DYNC2LI1 dimer from dynein-2, and IFT54 (also known as TRAF3IP1) and IFT57 from IFT-B contribute to the dynein-2-IFT-B interactions. WDR60 interacts with IFT54 via a conserved region N-terminal to its light chain-binding regions. Expression of the WDR60 constructs in WDR60-knockout (KO) cells revealed that N-terminal truncation mutants lacking the IFT54-binding site fail to rescue abnormal phenotypes of WDR60-KO cells, such as aberrant accumulation of the IFT machinery around the ciliary tip and on the distal side of the transition zone. However, a WDR60 construct specifically lacking just the IFT54-binding site substantially restored the ciliary defects. In line with the current docking model of dynein-2 with the anterograde IFT trains, these results indicate that extensive interactions involving multiple subunits from the dynein-2 and IFT-B complexes participate in their connection.

Abstract
The cilium evolved to provide the ancestral eukaryote with the ability to move and sense its environment. Acquiring these functions required the compartmentalization of a dynein-based motility apparatus and signaling proteins within a discrete subcellular organelle contiguous with the cytosol. Here, we explore the potential molecular mechanisms for how the proximal-most region of the cilium, termed transition zone (TZ), acts as a diffusion barrier for both membrane and soluble proteins and helps to ensure ciliary autonomy and homeostasis. These include a unique complement and spatial organization of proteins that span from the microtubule-based axoneme to the ciliary membrane; a protein picket fence; a specialized lipid microdomain; differential membrane curvature and thickness; and lastly, a size-selective molecular sieve. In addition, the TZ must be permissive for, and functionally integrates with, ciliary trafficking systems (including intraflagellar transport) that cross the barrier and make the ciliary compartment dynamic. The quest to understand the TZ continues and promises to not only illuminate essential aspects of human cell signaling, physiology, and development, but also to unravel how TZ dysfunction contributes to ciliopathies that affect multiple organ systems, including eyes, kidney, and brain.

Abstract
Primary cilia are microtube-based organelles that extend from the cell surface and function as biochemical and mechanical extracellular signal sensors. Primary cilia coordinate a series of signaling pathways during development. Cilia dysfunction leads to a pleiotropic group of developmental disorders, termed ciliopathy. Phosphoinositides (PIs), a group of signaling phospholipids, play a crucial role in development and tissue homeostasis by regulating membrane trafficking, cytoskeleton reorganization, and organelle identity. Accumulating evidence implicates the involvement of PI species in ciliary defects and ciliopathies. The abundance and localization of PIs in the cell are tightly regulated by the opposing actions of kinases and phosphatases, some of which are recently discovered in the context of primary cilia. Here, we review several cilium-associated PI kinases and phosphatases, including their localization along cilia, function in regulating the ciliary biology under normal conditions, as well as the connection of their disease-associated mutations with ciliopathies.

Abstract
Primary cilia are antenna-like organelles that contain specific proteins, and are crucial for tissue morphogenesis. Anterograde and retrograde trafficking of ciliary proteins are mediated by the intraflagellar transport (IFT) machinery. BROMI/TBC1D32 interacts with CCRK/CDK20, which phosphorylates and activates the intestinal cell kinase (ICK)/CILK1 kinase, to regulate the change in direction of the IFT machinery at the ciliary tip. Mutations in BROMI, CCRK, and ICK in humans cause ciliopathies, and mice defective in these genes are also known to demonstrate ciliopathy phenotypes. We show here that BROMI interacts not only with CCRK but also with CFAP20, an evolutionarily conserved ciliary protein, and with FAM149B1/ Joubert syndrome (JBTS)36, a protein in which mutations cause JBTS. In addition, we show that FAM149B1 interacts directly with CCRK as well as with BROMI. Ciliary defects observed in CCRK-knockout (KO), BROMI-KO, and FAM149B1-KO cells, including abnormally long cilia and accumulation of the IFT machinery and ICK at the ciliary tip, resembled one another, and BROMI mutants that are defective in binding to CCRK and CFAP20 were unable to rescue the ciliary defects of BROMI-KO cells. These data indicate that CCRK, BROMI, FAM149B1, and probably CFAP20 altogether regulate the IFT turnaround process under the control of ICK.

Abstract
Bidirectional protein trafficking within cilia is mediated by the intraflagellar transport (IFT) machinery, which contains the IFT-A and IFT-B complexes powered by the kinesin-2 and dynein-2 motors. Mutations in genes encoding subunits of the IFT-A and dynein-2 complexes cause skeletal ciliopathies. Some subunits of the IFT-B complex, including IFT52, IFT80, and IFT172, are also mutated in skeletal ciliopathies. We here show that IFT52 variants found in individuals with short-rib polydactyly syndrome (SRPS) are compromised in terms of formation of the IFT-B holocomplex from two subcomplexes and its interaction with heterotrimeric kinesin-II. IFT52-knockout (KO) cells expressing IFT52 variants that mimic the cellular conditions of individuals with SRPS demonstrated mild ciliogenesis defects and a decrease in ciliary IFT-B level. Furthermore, in IFT52-KO cells expressing an SRPS variant of IFT52, ciliary tip localization of ICK/CILK1 and KIF17, both of which are likely to be transported to the tip via binding to the IFT-B complex, was significantly impaired. Altogether these results indicate that impaired anterograde trafficking caused by a decrease in the ciliary level of IFT-B or in its binding to kinesin-II underlies the ciliary defects found in skeletal ciliopathies caused by IFT52 variations.

Abstract
Meckel syndrome (MKS), also known as the Meckel–Gruber syndrome, is a severe pleiotropic autosomal recessive developmental disorder caused by dysfunction of the primary cilia during early embryogenesis. The diagnostic criteria are based on clinical variability and genetic heterogeneity. Mutations in the MKS1 gene constitute approximately 7% of all MKS cases. Herein, we present a non-consanguineous couple with three abnormal pregnancies as the fetuses showed MKS-related phenotypes of the central nervous system malformation and postaxial polydactyly. Whole-exome sequencing identified two novel heterozygous mutations of MKS1: c.350C>A and c.1408-14A>G. The nonsense mutation c.350C>A produced a premature stop codon and induced the truncation of the MKS1 protein (p.S117*). Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) showed that c.1408-14A>G skipped exon 16 and encoded the mutant MKS1 p.E471Lfs*92. Functional studies showed that these two mutations disrupted the B9–C2 domain of the MKS1 protein and attenuated the interactions with B9D2, the essential component of the ciliary transition zone. The couple finally got a healthy baby through preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disorder (PGT-M) with haplotype linkage analysis. Thus, this study expanded the mutation spectrum of MKS1 and elucidated the genetic heterogeneity of MKS1 in clinical cases.

Abstract
Cilia play crucial roles in sensing and transducing extracellular signals. Bidirectional protein trafficking within cilia is mediated by the intraflagellar transport (IFT) machinery containing IFT-A and IFT-B complexes, with the aid of kinesin-2 and dynein-2 motors. The dynein-2 complex drives retrograde trafficking of the IFT machinery after its transportation to the ciliary tip as an IFT cargo. Mutations in genes encoding the dynein-2-specific subunits (DYNC2H1, WDR60, WDR34, DYNC2LI1, and TCTEX1D2) are known to cause skeletal ciliopathies. We here demonstrate that several pathogenic variants of DYNC2LI1 are compromised regarding their ability to interact with DYNC2H1 and WDR60. When expressed in DYNC2LI1-knockout cells, deletion variants of DYNC2LI1 were unable to rescue the ciliary defects of these cells, whereas missense variants, as well as wild-type DYNC2LI1, restored the normal phenotype. DYNC2LI1-knockout cells coexpressing one pathogenic deletion variant together with wild-type DYNC2LI1 demonstrated a normal phenotype. In striking contrast, DYNC2LI1-knockout cells coexpressing the deletion variant in combination with a missense variant, which mimics the situation of cells of compound heterozygous ciliopathy individuals, demonstrated ciliary defects. Thus, DYNC2LI1 deletion variants found in individuals with skeletal ciliopathies cause ciliary defects when combined with a missense variant, which expressed on its own does not cause substantial defects.

Abstract
The IFT-B complex mediates ciliary anterograde protein trafficking and membrane protein export together with the BBSome. Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is caused by mutations in not only all BBSome subunits, but also in some IFT-B subunits, including IFT74/BBS22 and IFT27/BBS19, which form heterodimers with IFT81 and IFT25, respectively. We found that the IFT25-IFT27 dimer bind the C-terminal region of the IFT74-IFT81 dimer, and that the IFT25-IFT27-binding region encompasses the region deleted in the BBS variants of IFT74. In addition, we found that the missense BBS variants of IFT27 are impaired in IFT74-IFT81 binding, and are unable to rescue the BBS-like phenotypes of IFT27-knockout cells. Furthermore, the BBS variants of IFT74 rescued the ciliogenesis defect of IFT74-knockout cells, but the rescued cells demonstrated BBS-like abnormal phenotypes. Taken together, we conclude that the impaired interaction between IFT74-IFT81 and IFT25-IFT27 causes the BBS-associated ciliary defects.

Abstract
CCRK/CDK20 was reported to interact with BROMI/TBC1D32 and regulate ciliary Hedgehog signaling. In various organisms, mutations in the orthologs of CCRK and those of the kinase ICK/CILK1, which is phosphorylated by CCRK, are known to result in cilia elongation. Furthermore, we recently showed that ICK regulates retrograde ciliary protein trafficking and/or the turnaround event at the ciliary tips, and that its mutations result in the elimination of intraflagellar transport (IFT) proteins that have overaccumulated at the bulged ciliary tips as extracellular vesicles, in addition to cilia elongation. However, how these proteins cooperate to regulate ciliary protein trafficking has remained unclear. We here show that the phenotypes of CCRK-knockout (KO) cells closely resemble those of ICK-KO cells; namely, the overaccumulation of IFT proteins at the bulged ciliary tips, which appear to be eliminated as extracellular vesicles, and the enrichment of GPR161 and Smoothened on the ciliary membrane. The abnormal phenotypes of CCRK-KO cells were rescued by the exogenous expression of wild-type CCRK but not its kinase-dead mutant or a mutant defective in BROMI binding. These results together indicate that CCRK regulates the turnaround process at the ciliary tips in concert with BROMI and probably via activating ICK.

Abstract
INPP5E, a phosphoinositide 5-phosphatase, localizes on the ciliary membrane via its C-terminal prenyl moiety, and maintains the distinct ciliary phosphoinositide composition. The ARL3 GTPase contributes to the ciliary membrane localization of INPP5E by stimulating the release of PDE6D bound to prenylated INPP5E. Another GTPase, ARL13B, which is localized on the ciliary membrane, contributes to the ciliary membrane retention of INPP5E by directly binding to its ciliary targeting sequence. However, as ARL13B was shown to act as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for ARL3, it is also possible that ARL13B indirectly mediates the ciliary INPP5E localization via activating ARL3. We here show that INPP5E is delocalized from cilia in both ARL3-knockout (KO) and ARL13B-KO cells. However, some of the abnormal phenotypes were different between these KO cells, while others were found to be common, indicating the parallel roles of ARL3 and ARL13B, at least concerning some cellular functions. For several variants of ARL13B, their ability to interact with INPP5E, rather than their ability as an ARL3-GEF, was associated with whether they could rescue the ciliary localization of INPP5E in ARL13B-KO cells. These observations together indicate that ARL13B determines the ciliary localization of INPP5E, mainly by its direct binding to INPP5E.

Abstract
Pathogenic variants in the MKS1 gene are responsible for a ciliopathy with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from Meckel and Joubert syndrome (JBTS) to Bardet-Biedl syndrome, and involving the central nervous system, liver, kidney, skeleton, and retina. We report a 39-year-old male individual presenting with isolated Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), as assessed by full ophthalmological evaluation including Best-Corrected Visual Acuity measurements, fundus examination, Goldmann Visual Field test, and full-field Electroretinography. A clinical exome identified biallelic nonsense variants in MKS1 that prompted post-genotyping investigations for systemic abnormalities of ciliopathy. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed malformations of the posterior cranial fossa with the ‘molar tooth sign’ and cerebellar folia dysplasia, which are both distinctive features of JBTS. No other organ or skeletal abnormalities were detected. This case illustrates the power of clinical exome for the identification of the mildest forms of a disease spectrum, such as a mild JBTS with RP in the presented case of an individual carrying biallelic truncating variants in MKS1.

Nonredundant roles of DIAPHs in primary ciliogenesis. J Biol Chem 2021; 296:100680.

Abstract
Primary cilia are hubs for several signaling pathways, and disruption in cilia function and formation leads to a range of diseases collectively known as ciliopathies. Both ciliogenesis and cilia maintenance depend on vesicle trafficking along a network of microtubules and actin filaments toward the basal body. The DIAPH (Diaphanous-related) family of formins promote both actin polymerization and microtubule (MT) stability. Recently, we showed that the formin DIAPH1 is involved in ciliogenesis. However, the role of other DIAPH family members in ciliogenesis had not been investigated. Here we show that depletion of either DIAPH2 or DIAPH3 also disrupted ciliogenesis and cilia length. DIAPH3 depletion also reduced trafficking within cilia. To specifically examine the role of DIAPH3 at the base, we used fused full-length DIAPH3 to centrin, which targeted DIAPH3 to the basal body, causing increased trafficking to the ciliary base, an increase in cilia length, and formation of bulbs at the tips of cilia. Additionally, we confirmed that the microtubule-stabilizing properties of DIAPH3 are important for its cilia length functions and trafficking. These results indicate the importance of DIAPH proteins in regulating cilia maintenance. Moreover, defects in ciliogenesis caused by DIAPH depletion could only be rescued by expression of the specific family member depleted, indicating nonredundant roles for these proteins.

HTR6 and SSTR3 targeting to primary cilia. Biochem Soc Trans 2021; 49:79-91.

Abstract
Primary cilia are hair-like projections of the cell membrane supported by an inner microtubule scaffold, the axoneme, which polymerizes out of a membrane-docked centriole at the ciliary base. By working as specialized signaling compartments, primary cilia provide an optimal environment for many G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and their effectors to efficiently transmit their signals to the rest of the cell. For this to occur, however, all necessary receptors and signal transducers must first accumulate at the ciliary membrane. Serotonin receptor 6 (HTR6) and Somatostatin receptor 3 (SSTR3) are two GPCRs whose signaling in brain neuronal cilia affects cognition and is implicated in psychiatric, neurodegenerative, and oncologic diseases. Over a decade ago, the third intracellular loops (IC3s) of HTR6 and SSTR3 were shown to contain ciliary localization sequences (CLSs) that, when grafted onto non-ciliary GPCRs, could drive their ciliary accumulation. Nevertheless, these CLSs were dispensable for ciliary targeting of HTR6 and SSTR3, suggesting the presence of additional CLSs, which we have recently identified in their C-terminal tails. Herein, we review the discovery and mapping of these CLSs, as well as the state of the art regarding how these CLSs may orchestrate ciliary accumulation of these GPCRs by controlling when and where they interact with the ciliary entry and exit machinery via adaptors such as TULP3, RABL2 and the BBSome.

Abstract
Primary cilia contain specific proteins to achieve their functions as cellular antennae. Ciliary protein trafficking is mediated by the intraflagellar transport (IFT) machinery containing the IFT-A and IFT-B complexes. Mutations in genes encoding the IFT-A subunits (IFT43, IFT121/WDR35, IFT122, IFT139/TTC21B, IFT140 and IFT144/WDR19) often result in skeletal ciliopathies, including cranioectodermal dysplasia (CED). We here characterized the molecular and cellular defects of CED caused by compound heterozygous mutations in IFT144 [the missense variant IFT144(L710S) and the nonsense variant IFT144(R1103*)]. These two variants were distinct with regard to their interactions with other IFT-A subunits and with the IFT-B complex. When exogenously expressed in IFT144-knockout (KO) cells, IFT144(L710S) as well as IFT144(WT) rescued both moderately compromised ciliogenesis and the abnormal localization of ciliary proteins. As the homozygous IFT144(L710S) mutation was found to cause autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa, IFT144(L710S) is likely to be hypomorphic at the cellular level. In striking contrast, the exogenous expression of IFT144(R1103*) in IFT144-KO cells exacerbated the ciliogenesis defects. The expression of IFT144(R1103*) together with IFT144(WT) restored the abnormal phenotypes of IFT144-KO cells. However, the coexpression of IFT144(R1103*) with the hypomorphic IFT144(L710S) variant in IFT144-KO cells, which mimics the genotype of compound heterozygous CED patients, resulted in severe ciliogenesis defects. Taken together, these observations demonstrate that compound heterozygous mutations in IFT144 cause severe ciliary defects via a complicated mechanism, where one allele can cause severe ciliary defects when combined with a hypomorphic allele.

Abstract
Ciliopathies are inherited disorders caused by defects in motile and non-motile (primary) cilia. Ciliopathy syndromes and associated gene variants are often highly pleiotropic and represent exemplars for interrogating genotype-phenotype correlations. Towards understanding disease mechanisms in the context of ciliopathy mutations, we have used a leading model organism for cilia and ciliopathy research, Caenorhabditis elegans, together with gene editing, to characterise two missense variants (P74S and G155S) in mksr-2/B9D2 associated with Joubert syndrome (JBTS). B9D2 functions within the Meckel syndrome (MKS) module at the ciliary base transition zone (TZ) compartment and regulates the molecular composition and sensory/signalling functions of the cilium. Quantitative assays of cilium/TZ structure and function, together with knock-in reporters, confirm that both variant alleles are pathogenic in worms. G155S causes a more severe overall phenotype and disrupts endogenous MKSR-2 organisation at the TZ. Recapitulation of the patient biallelic genotype shows that compound heterozygous worms phenocopy worms homozygous for P74S. The P74S and G155S alleles also reveal evidence of a very close functional association between the B9D2-associated B9 complex and MKS-2/TMEM216. Together, these data establish C. elegans as a model for interpreting JBTS mutations and provide further insight into MKS module organisation. This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper.

Biol Open 2021; 10:bio057653.

Abstract
Compositions of proteins and lipids within cilia and on the ciliary membrane are maintained to be distinct from those of the cytoplasm and plasma membrane, respectively, by the presence of the ciliary gate. INPP5E is a phosphoinositide 5-phosphatase that is localized on the ciliary membrane by anchorage via its C-terminal prenyl moiety. In addition, the ciliary membrane localization of INPP5E is determined by the small GTPase ARL13B. However, it remained unclear as to how ARL13B participates in the localization of INPP5E. We here show that wild-type INPP5E, INPP5E(WT), in ARL13B-knockout cells and an INPP5E mutant defective in ARL13B binding, INPP5E(ΔCTS), in control cells were unable to show steady-state localization on the ciliary membrane. However, not only INPP5E(WT) but also INPP5E(ΔCTS) was able to rescue the abnormal localization of ciliary proteins in INPP5E-knockout cells. Analysis using the chemically induced dimerization system demonstrated that INPP5E(WT) in ARL13B-knockout cells and INPP5E(ΔCTS) in control cells were able to enter cilia, but neither was retained on the ciliary membrane due to the lack of the INPP5E-ARL13B interaction. Thus, our data demonstrate that binding of INPP5E to ARL13B is essential for its steady-state localization on the ciliary membrane but is dispensable for its entry into cilia.
