Collection description
The primary cilium is a microtubule-based organelle that regulates growth and development. Defects in ciliogenesis can lead to a group of genetic syndromes known as ciliopathies. The Oro-facial digital syndrome 1 (OFD1) is a X-linked ciliopathy caused by mutation in OFD1 gene, whose role in ciliogenesis is well established. Additionally, cAMP and ubiquitin pathway play a role in ciliogenesis. In mammals, most of the effects elicited by cAMP are mediated by protein kinase A (PKA). The cAMP-PKA pathway can induce activation of praja2, a RING E3-ubiquitin ligase of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). By a yeast two-hybrid screening, we identified TBC1D31 as a novel interactor of praja2. TBC1D31 is a protein localized at the centrosome and basal body, whose function is unknown. Given the role of centrosome in the control of primary cilia formation, the aim of my study was to investigate the role of TBC1D31 in ciliogenesis and evaluate the impact of cAMP and praja2 in TBC1D31-mediated ciliary functions. We identified a scaffold complex assembled by TBC1D31 at centrosome that includes the ubiquitin ligase praja2, protein kinase A (PKA) and OFD1. We show that TBC1D31 is essential for ciliogenesis and for Medaka fish development. Upon cAMP stimulation, PKA phosphorylates OFD1 at ser735. Phosphorylation primes OFD1 to praja2-mediated ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation. Removal of OFD1 promotes primary cilia resorption. Altogether, our findings indicate that TBC1D31 is a novel centrosomal scaffold protein that physically and functionally links the activation of the cAMP signalling to the regulation of primary cilium biology and development.
