Using RNAi screening, proteomics, cell biological and mouse genetics approaches, we have identified a complex of nine proteins, seven of which are disrupted in human ciliopathies. A transmembrane component, TMEM231, localizes to the basal body before and independently of intraflagellar transport in a Septin 2 (Sept2)-regulated fashion. The localizations of TMEM231, B9D1 (B9 domain-containing protein 1) and CC2D2A (coiled-coil and C2 domain-containing protein 2A) at the transition zone are dependent on one another and on Sept2. Disruption of the complex in vitro causes a reduction in cilia formation and a loss of signalling receptors from the remaining cilia. Mouse knockouts of B9D1 and TMEM231 have identical defects in Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signalling and ciliogenesis. Strikingly, disruption of the complex increases the rate of diffusion into the ciliary membrane and the amount of plasma-membrane protein in the cilia. The complex that we have described is essential for normal cilia function and acts as a diffusion barrier to maintain the cilia membrane as a compartmentalized signalling organelle.
利用 RNAi 筛选、蛋白质组学、细胞生物学和小鼠遗传学方法,我们鉴定出了一个由九种蛋白质组成的复合物,其中七种在人类纤毛病中发生了突变。一种跨膜成分 TMEM231 在动粒蛋白 2(Sept2)调控下,在中心体组装之前以独立于内鞭毛运输的方式定位于基体。TMEM231、B9D1(B9 结构域蛋白 1)和 CC2D2A(卷曲螺旋和 C2 结构域蛋白 2A)在过渡区的定位相互依赖,并依赖于 Sept2。体外破坏复合物会导致纤毛形成减少,以及剩余纤毛上的信号受体丢失。B9D1 和 TMEM231 的小鼠敲除在 Sonic hedgehog(Shh)信号和纤毛发生中具有相同的缺陷。引人注目的是,复合物的破坏会增加扩散进入纤毛膜的速度和纤毛中质膜蛋白的量。我们所描述的复合物对于正常的纤毛功能是必不可少的,并且作为扩散屏障来维持纤毛膜作为一个分隔的信号细胞器。
