Fujii T, Liang L, Nakayama K, Katoh Y. Defects in diffusion barrier function of ciliary transition zone caused by ciliopathy variations of TMEM218. Hum Mol Genet 2024; 33:1442-1453. [PMID: 38751342 DOI: 10.1093/hmg/ddae083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 08/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Primary cilia are antenna-like structures protruding from the surface of various eukaryotic cells, and have distinct protein compositions in their membranes. This distinct protein composition is maintained by the presence of the transition zone (TZ) at the ciliary base, which acts as a diffusion barrier between the ciliary and plasma membranes. Defects in cilia and the TZ are known to cause a group of disorders collectively called the ciliopathies, which demonstrate a broad spectrum of clinical features, such as perinatally lethal Meckel syndrome (MKS), relatively mild Joubert syndrome (JBTS), and nonsyndromic nephronophthisis (NPHP). Proteins constituting the TZ can be grouped into the MKS and NPHP modules. The MKS module is composed of several transmembrane proteins and three soluble proteins. TMEM218 was recently reported to be mutated in individuals diagnosed as MKS and JBTS. However, little is known about how TMEM218 mutations found in MKS and JBTS affect the functions of cilia. In this study, we found that ciliary membrane proteins were not localized to cilia in TMEM218-knockout cells, indicating impaired barrier function of the TZ. Furthermore, the exogenous expression of JBTS-associated TMEM218 variants but not MKS-associated variants in TMEM218-knockout cells restored the localization of ciliary membrane proteins. In particular, when expressed in TMEM218-knockout cells, the TMEM218(R115H) variant found in JBTS was able to restore the barrier function of cells, whereas the MKS variant TMEM218(R115C) could not. Thus, the severity of symptoms of MKS and JBTS individuals appears to correlate with the degree of their ciliary defects at the cellular level.

Calcium influx promotes PLEKHG4B localization to cell-cell junctions and regulates the integrity of junctional actin filaments. Mol Biol Cell 2024; 35:ar24.

Abstract
PLEKHG4B is a Cdc42-targeting guanine-nucleotide exchange factor implicated in forming epithelial cell-cell junctions. Here we explored the mechanism regulating PLEKHG4B localization. PLEKHG4B localized to the basal membrane in normal Ca2+ medium but accumulated at cell-cell junctions upon ionomycin treatment. Ionomycin-induced junctional localization of PLEKHG4B was suppressed upon disrupting its annexin-A2 (ANXA2)-binding ability. Thus, Ca2+ influx and ANXA2 binding are crucial for PLEKHG4B localization to cell-cell junctions. Treatments with low Ca2+ or BAPTA-AM (an intracellular Ca2+ chelator) suppressed PLEKHG4B localization to the basal membrane. Mutations of the phosphoinositide-binding motif in the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain of PLEKHG4B or masking of membrane phosphatidylinositol-4,5-biphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] suppressed PLEKHG4B localization to the basal membrane, indicating that basal membrane localization of PLEKHG4B requires suitable intracellular Ca2+ levels and PI(4,5)P2 binding of the PH domain. Activation of mechanosensitive ion channels (MSCs) promoted PLEKHG4B localization to cell-cell junctions, and their inhibition suppressed it. Moreover, similar to the PLEKHG4B knockdown phenotypes, inhibition of MSCs or treatment with BAPTA-AM disturbed the integrity of actin filaments at cell-cell junctions. Taken together, our results suggest that Ca2+ influx plays crucial roles in PLEKHG4B localization to cell-cell junctions and the integrity of junctional actin organization, with MSCs contributing to this process.

Abstract
Owing to their crucial roles in development and homeostasis, defects in cilia cause ciliopathies with diverse clinical manifestations. The intraflagellar transport (IFT) machinery, containing the IFT-A and IFT-B complexes, mediates not only the intraciliary bidirectional trafficking but also import and export of ciliary proteins together with the kinesin-2 and dynein-2 motor complexes. The BBSome, containing eight subunits encoded by causative genes of Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS), connects the IFT machinery to ciliary membrane proteins to mediate their export from cilia. Although mutations in subunits of the IFT-A and dynein-2 complexes cause skeletal ciliopathies, mutations in some IFT-B subunits are also known to cause skeletal ciliopathies. We here show that compound heterozygous variations of an IFT-B subunit, IFT81, found in a patient with skeletal ciliopathy cause defects in its interactions with other IFT-B subunits, and in ciliogenesis and ciliary protein trafficking when one of the two variants was expressed in IFT81-knockout (KO) cells. Notably, we found that IFT81-KO cells expressing IFT81(Δ490-519), which lacks the binding site for the IFT25-IFT27 dimer, causes ciliary defects reminiscent of those found in BBS cells and those in IFT74-KO cells expressing a BBS variant of IFT74, which forms a heterodimer with IFT81. In addition, IFT81-KO cells expressing IFT81(Δ490-519) in combination with the other variant, IFT81 (L645*), which mimics the cellular conditions of the above skeletal ciliopathy patient, demonstrated essentially the same phenotype as those expressing only IFT81(Δ490-519). Thus, our data indicate that BBS-like defects can be caused by skeletal ciliopathy variants of IFT81.

Abstract
Ciliary receptors and their certain downstream signaling components undergo intraflagellar transport (IFT) as BBSome cargoes to maintain their ciliary dynamics for sensing and transducing extracellular stimuli inside the cell. Cargo-laden BBSomes pass the transition zone (TZ) for ciliary retrieval, but how this passage is controlled remains elusive. Here, we show that phospholipase D (PLD)-laden BBSomes shed from retrograde IFT trains at the proximal ciliary region right above the TZ to act as Arf-like 3 (ARL3) GTPase-specific effectors in Chlamydomonas cilia. Under physiological condition, ARL3GDP binds to the membrane for diffusing into cilia. Following nucleotide exchange, ARL3GTP detaches from the ciliary membrane, binds to retrograde IFT train-shed and PLD-laden BBSomes at the proximal ciliary region right above the TZ, and recruits them to pass the TZ for ciliary retrieval likely via diffusion. ARL3 mediates the ciliary dynamics of certain signaling molecules through facilitating BBSome ciliary retrieval, providing a mechanistic understanding behind why ARL3-related Joubert syndrome shares overlapping phenotypes with Bardet-Biedl syndrome.

Abstract
Primary cilia are sensory membrane protrusions whose dysfunction causes ciliopathies. INPP5E is a ciliary phosphoinositide phosphatase mutated in ciliopathies like Joubert syndrome. INPP5E regulates numerous ciliary functions, but how it accumulates in cilia remains poorly understood. Herein, we show INPP5E ciliary targeting requires its folded catalytic domain and is controlled by four conserved ciliary localization signals (CLSs): LLxPIR motif (CLS1), W383 (CLS2), FDRxLYL motif (CLS3) and CaaX box (CLS4). We answer two long-standing questions in the field. First, partial CLS1-CLS4 redundancy explains why CLS4 is dispensable for ciliary targeting. Second, the essential need for CLS2 clarifies why CLS3-CLS4 are together insufficient for ciliary accumulation. Furthermore, we reveal that some Joubert syndrome mutations perturb INPP5E ciliary targeting, and clarify how each CLS works: (i) CLS4 recruits PDE6D, RPGR and ARL13B, (ii) CLS2-CLS3 regulate association to TULP3, ARL13B, and CEP164, and (iii) CLS1 and CLS4 cooperate in ATG16L1 binding. Altogether, we shed light on the mechanisms of INPP5E ciliary targeting, revealing a complexity without known parallels among ciliary cargoes.

Abstract
The GTPase Arl13b participates in ciliary protein transport, but its contribution to intraflagellar transport (IFT), the main motor-based protein shuttle of cilia, remains largely unknown. Chlamydomonas arl13 mutant cilia were characterized by both abnormal reduction and accumulation of select membrane-associated proteins. With respect to the latter, a similar set of proteins including phospholipase D (PLD) also accumulated in BBSome-deficient cilia. IFT and BBSome traffic were apparently normal in arl13. However, transport of PLD, which in control cells moves by BBSome-dependent IFT, was impaired in arl13, causing PLD to accumulate in cilia. ARL13 only rarely and transiently traveled by IFT, indicating that it is not a co-migrating adapter securing PLD to IFT trains. In conclusion, the loss of Chlamydomonas ARL13 impedes BBSome-dependent protein transport, resulting in overlapping biochemical defects in arl13 and bbs mutant cilia.

Abstract
Primary cilia are antenna-like organelles that contain specific proteins, and are crucial for tissue morphogenesis. Anterograde and retrograde trafficking of ciliary proteins are mediated by the intraflagellar transport (IFT) machinery. BROMI/TBC1D32 interacts with CCRK/CDK20, which phosphorylates and activates the intestinal cell kinase (ICK)/CILK1 kinase, to regulate the change in direction of the IFT machinery at the ciliary tip. Mutations in BROMI, CCRK, and ICK in humans cause ciliopathies, and mice defective in these genes are also known to demonstrate ciliopathy phenotypes. We show here that BROMI interacts not only with CCRK but also with CFAP20, an evolutionarily conserved ciliary protein, and with FAM149B1/ Joubert syndrome (JBTS)36, a protein in which mutations cause JBTS. In addition, we show that FAM149B1 interacts directly with CCRK as well as with BROMI. Ciliary defects observed in CCRK-knockout (KO), BROMI-KO, and FAM149B1-KO cells, including abnormally long cilia and accumulation of the IFT machinery and ICK at the ciliary tip, resembled one another, and BROMI mutants that are defective in binding to CCRK and CFAP20 were unable to rescue the ciliary defects of BROMI-KO cells. These data indicate that CCRK, BROMI, FAM149B1, and probably CFAP20 altogether regulate the IFT turnaround process under the control of ICK.

Abstract
Bidirectional protein trafficking within cilia is mediated by the intraflagellar transport (IFT) machinery, which contains the IFT-A and IFT-B complexes powered by the kinesin-2 and dynein-2 motors. Mutations in genes encoding subunits of the IFT-A and dynein-2 complexes cause skeletal ciliopathies. Some subunits of the IFT-B complex, including IFT52, IFT80, and IFT172, are also mutated in skeletal ciliopathies. We here show that IFT52 variants found in individuals with short-rib polydactyly syndrome (SRPS) are compromised in terms of formation of the IFT-B holocomplex from two subcomplexes and its interaction with heterotrimeric kinesin-II. IFT52-knockout (KO) cells expressing IFT52 variants that mimic the cellular conditions of individuals with SRPS demonstrated mild ciliogenesis defects and a decrease in ciliary IFT-B level. Furthermore, in IFT52-KO cells expressing an SRPS variant of IFT52, ciliary tip localization of ICK/CILK1 and KIF17, both of which are likely to be transported to the tip via binding to the IFT-B complex, was significantly impaired. Altogether these results indicate that impaired anterograde trafficking caused by a decrease in the ciliary level of IFT-B or in its binding to kinesin-II underlies the ciliary defects found in skeletal ciliopathies caused by IFT52 variations.

Abstract
Cilium, a tiny microtubule-based cellular appendage critical for cell signalling and physiology, displays a large variety of receptors. The composition and turnover of ciliary lipids and receptors determine cell behaviour. Due to the exclusion of ribosomal machinery and limited membrane area, a cilium needs adaptive logistics to actively reconstitute the lipid and receptor compositions during development and differentiation. How is this dynamicity generated? Here, we examine whether, along with the Intraflagellar-Transport, targeted changes in sector-wise lipid composition could control the receptor localisation and functions in the cilia. We discuss how an interplay between ciliary lipid composition, localised lipid modification, and receptor function could contribute to cilia growth and signalling. We argue that lipid modification at the cell-cilium interface could generate an added thrust for a selective exchange of membrane lipids and the transmembrane and membrane-associated proteins.

Abstract
ELMODs are a family of three mammalian paralogues that display GTPase-activating protein (GAP) activity toward a uniquely broad array of ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) family GTPases that includes ARF-like (ARL) proteins. ELMODs are ubiquitously expressed in mammalian tissues, highly conserved across eukaryotes, and ancient in origin, being present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor. We described functions of ELMOD2 in immortalized mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) in the regulation of cell division, microtubules, ciliogenesis, and mitochondrial fusion. Here, using similar strategies with the paralogues ELMOD1 and ELMOD3, we identify novel functions and locations of these cell regulators and compare them to those of ELMOD2, allowing the determination of functional redundancy among the family members. We found strong similarities in phenotypes resulting from deletion of either Elmod1 or Elmod3 and marked differences from those arising in Elmod2 deletion lines. Deletion of either Elmod1 or Elmod3 results in the decreased ability of cells to form primary cilia, loss of a subset of proteins from cilia, and accumulation of some ciliary proteins at the Golgi, predicted to result from compromised traffic from the Golgi to cilia. These phenotypes are reversed upon activating mutant expression of either ARL3 or ARL16, linking their roles to ELMOD1/3 actions.

[PMID: 34888642 DOI: 10.1093/hmg/ddab354] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2021] [Revised: 11/19/2021] [Accepted: 12/06/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
The IFT-B complex mediates ciliary anterograde protein trafficking and membrane protein export together with the BBSome. Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is caused by mutations in not only all BBSome subunits, but also in some IFT-B subunits, including IFT74/BBS22 and IFT27/BBS19, which form heterodimers with IFT81 and IFT25, respectively. We found that the IFT25-IFT27 dimer bind the C-terminal region of the IFT74-IFT81 dimer, and that the IFT25-IFT27-binding region encompasses the region deleted in the BBS variants of IFT74. In addition, we found that the missense BBS variants of IFT27 are impaired in IFT74-IFT81 binding, and are unable to rescue the BBS-like phenotypes of IFT27-knockout cells. Furthermore, the BBS variants of IFT74 rescued the ciliogenesis defect of IFT74-knockout cells, but the rescued cells demonstrated BBS-like abnormal phenotypes. Taken together, we conclude that the impaired interaction between IFT74-IFT81 and IFT25-IFT27 causes the BBS-associated ciliary defects.

[PMID: 34624068 PMCID: PMC8500422 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0258497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
CCRK/CDK20 was reported to interact with BROMI/TBC1D32 and regulate ciliary Hedgehog signaling. In various organisms, mutations in the orthologs of CCRK and those of the kinase ICK/CILK1, which is phosphorylated by CCRK, are known to result in cilia elongation. Furthermore, we recently showed that ICK regulates retrograde ciliary protein trafficking and/or the turnaround event at the ciliary tips, and that its mutations result in the elimination of intraflagellar transport (IFT) proteins that have overaccumulated at the bulged ciliary tips as extracellular vesicles, in addition to cilia elongation. However, how these proteins cooperate to regulate ciliary protein trafficking has remained unclear. We here show that the phenotypes of CCRK-knockout (KO) cells closely resemble those of ICK-KO cells; namely, the overaccumulation of IFT proteins at the bulged ciliary tips, which appear to be eliminated as extracellular vesicles, and the enrichment of GPR161 and Smoothened on the ciliary membrane. The abnormal phenotypes of CCRK-KO cells were rescued by the exogenous expression of wild-type CCRK but not its kinase-dead mutant or a mutant defective in BROMI binding. These results together indicate that CCRK regulates the turnaround process at the ciliary tips in concert with BROMI and probably via activating ICK.
