Vertebrate Smoothened functions at the primary cilium

TL;DR: It is shown that mammalian Smoothened (Smo), a seven-transmembrane protein essential for Hh signalling, is expressed on the primary cilium, and Hh-dependent translocation to cilia is essential for Smo activity, suggesting that Smo acts at thePrimary cilia.
Journal ArticleDOI

The primary cilium as the cell's antenna : signaling at a sensory organelle

TL;DR: This new appreciation of primary cilia as cellular antennae that sense a wide variety of signals could help explain why ciliary defects underlie such a wide range of human disorders, including retinal degeneration, polycystic kidney disease, Bardet-Biedl syndrome, and neural tube defects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genes and molecular pathways underpinning ciliopathies

TL;DR: Investigating ciliopathies has helped to understand the molecular mechanisms by which the cilium-associated basal body functions in early ciliogenesis, as well as how the transition zone functions in ciliary gating, and how intraflagellar transport enables cargo trafficking and signalling.
