چکیده
Calcium ion channels that determine many of the properties of cilia are different in motile cilia as compared to primary cilia and flagella.

Left–Right Asymmetry: All Hands to the Pump
How do embryos establish differences between their left and right sides? Previous studies have implicated various signaling molecules and directional beating of cilia. Now, a new player enters the scene: the proton-potassium pump.
متن کاملSignaling from Smo to Ci/Gli: conservation and divergence of Hedgehog pathways from Drosophila to vertebrates.
Although the framework of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is evolutionarily conserved, recent studies indicate that fundamental differences exist between Drosophila and vertebrates in the way signals are transduced from the membrane protein Smoothened (Smo) to the Ci/Gli transcription factors. For example, Smo structure and the roles of fused and Suppressor of fused have diverged. Recently,...
متن کاملGenetic Ablation of Type III Adenylyl Cyclase Exerts Region-Specific Effects on Cilia Architecture in the Mouse Nose
We recently reported that olfactory sensory neurons in the dorsal zone of the mouse olfactory epithelium exhibit drastic location-dependent differences in cilia length. Furthermore, genetic ablation of type III adenylyl cyclase (ACIII), a key olfactory signaling protein and ubiquitous marker for primary cilia, disrupts the cilia length pattern and results in considerably shorter cilia, independ...
متن کاملPrimary Cilia Are Lost in Preinvasive and Invasive Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in men worldwide. Little is known about the role of primary cilia in preinvasive and invasive prostate cancer. However, reduced cilia expression has been observed in human cancers including pancreatic cancer, renal cell carcinoma, breast cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, and melanoma. The aim of this study was to characterize primary cilia ...
متن کاملMotile cilia of human airway epithelia contain hedgehog signaling components that mediate noncanonical hedgehog signaling
Differentiated airway epithelia produce sonic hedgehog (SHH), which is found in the thin layer of liquid covering the airway surface. Although previous studies showed that vertebrate HH signaling requires primary cilia, as airway epithelia mature, the cells lose primary cilia and produce hundreds of motile cilia. Thus, whether airway epithelia have apical receptors for SHH has remained unknown....
