Disruption Of Distal Appendage Protein Cep164 Causes Skeletal Malformation In Mice, Hiroyuki Yamaguchi, Megumi Kitami, Margaret Li, Sowmya Swaminathan, Radbod Darabi, Ken-Ichi Takemaru, Yoshihiro Komatsu

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

The primary cilium is a cellular antenna to orchestrate cell growth and differentiation. Deficient or dysfunctional cilia are frequently linked to skeletal abnormalities. Previous research demonstrated that ciliary proteins regulating axoneme elongation are essential for skeletogenesis. However, the role of the ciliary proteins responsible for initiating cilium assembly in skeletal development remains unknown. Here, we investigate the function of centrosomal protein of 164 kDa (CEP164), a key ciliogenesis regulator that localizes at the distal appendages of the mother centriole, during skeletal development in mice. Interestingly, the mesodermal cell-specific Cep164 deletion resulted in severe bone defects and osteoblast-specific deletion of Cep164 …
