项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Primary cilia organize signaling pathways such as vision, olfaction and Hedgehog signaling. Proper functioning of these pathways is critically dependent on the movements of molecules into, inside and out of cilia, yet our understanding of the basic mechanisms governing trafficking through cilia remains fragmentary. Past work from the lab identified and characterized the BBSome, a protein complex that ferries signaling receptors out of cilia and clears photoreceptor outer segments of unwanted proteins. The relevance of the BBSome to human health and disease is evidence by the fact that BBSome dysfunction causes Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS), a hereditary disease characterized by obesity, retinal degeneration, polydactyly and kidney malformations. The major goal of this proposal is to determine the structure and function of the molecular cogs and levers within the BBSome that enable selective removal of proteins from cilia. The proposed studies will cast new light on ciliary trafficking and lay the basis of future therapeutic interventions.

项目摘要原发性纤毛组织信号通路，例如视觉，嗅觉和刺猬信号传导。正确的功能这些途径的关键取决于分子进入纤毛的运动，但我们了解管理纤毛贩运的基本机制仍然是分散的。过去的工作从实验室鉴定并表征了BBSOME，这是一种蛋白质复合物，该蛋白质复合物从纤毛和清除不需要蛋白质的光感受器的外部段。 BBSOME与人类的相关性健康与疾病是证据，这是因为BBSOME功能障碍引起Bardet-Biedl综合征（BBS），A 遗传性疾病为特征，其特征是肥胖，视网膜变性，多性畸形和肾脏畸形。该提案的主要目标是确定分子齿轮和杠杆的结构和功能在BBSOME中，可以选择性去除纤毛中的蛋白质。拟议的研究将投放新的光关于睫毛贩运，并为未来的治疗干预措施奠定基础。
