Abstract
Motile cilia have essential cellular functions in development, reproduction, and homeostasis. Genetic causes for motile ciliopathies have been identified, but the consequences on cellular functions beyond impaired motility remain unknown. Variants in CCDC39 and CCDC40 cause severe disease not explained by loss of motility. Using human cells with pathological variants in these genes, Chlamydomonas genetics, cryo-electron microscopy, single cell RNA transcriptomics, and proteomics, we identified perturbations in multiple cilia-independent pathways. Absence of the axonemal CCDC39/CCDC40 heterodimer results in loss of a connectome of over 90 proteins. The undocked connectome activates cell quality control pathways, switches multiciliated cell fate, impairs microtubule architecture, and creates a defective periciliary barrier. Both cilia-dependent and independent defects are likely responsible for the disease severity. Our findings provide a foundation for reconsidering the broad cellular impact of pathologic variants in ciliopathies and suggest new directions for therapies.

Abstract
Radial spokes (RS) transmit mechanochemical signals between the central pair (CP) and axonemal dynein arms to coordinate ciliary motility. Atomic-resolution structures of metazoan RS and structures of axonemal complexes in ependymal cilia, whose rhythmic beating drives the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid, however, remain obscure. Here, we present near-atomic resolution cryo-EM structures of mouse RS head-neck complex in both monomer and dimer forms and reveal the intrinsic flexibility of the dimer. We also map the genetic mutations related to primary ciliary dyskinesia and asthenospermia on the head-neck complex. Moreover, we present the cryo-ET and sub-tomogram averaging map of mouse ependymal cilia and build the models for RS1-3, IDAs, and N-DRC. Contrary to the conserved RS structure, our cryo-ET map reveals the lack of IDA-b/c/e and the absence of Tektin filaments within the A-tubule of doublet microtubules in ependymal cilia compared with mammalian respiratory cilia and sperm flagella, further exemplifying the structural diversity of mammalian motile cilia. Our findings shed light on the stepwise mammalian RS assembly mechanism, the coordinated rigid and elastic RS-CP interaction modes beneficial for the regulation of asymmetric ciliary beating, and also facilitate understanding on the etiology of ciliary dyskinesia-related ciliopathies and on the ependymal cilia in the development of hydrocephalus.

Abstract
Physiological roles of Cl-, a major anion in the body, are not well known compared with those of cations. This review article introduces: (1) roles of Cl- in bodily and cellular functions; (2) the range of cytosolic Cl- concentration ([Cl-]c); (3) whether [Cl-]c could change with cell volume change under an isosmotic condition; (4) whether [Cl-]c could change under conditions where multiple Cl- transporters and channels contribute to Cl- influx and efflux in an isosmotic state; (5) whether the change in [Cl-]c could be large enough to act as signals; (6) effects of Cl- on cytoskeletal tubulin polymerization through inhibition of GTPase activity and tubulin polymerization-dependent biological activity; (7) roles of cytosolic Cl- in cell proliferation; (8) Cl--regulatory mechanisms of ciliary motility; (9) roles of Cl- in sweet/umami taste receptors; (10) Cl--regulatory mechanisms of with-no-lysine kinase (WNK); (11) roles of Cl- in regulation of epithelial Na+ transport; (12) relationship between roles of Cl- and H+ in body functions.

Abstract
Motile cilia are ancient, evolutionarily conserved organelles whose dysfunction underlies motile ciliopathies, a broad class of human diseases. Motile cilia contain myriad different proteins that assemble into an array of distinct machines, so understanding the interactions and functional hierarchies among them presents an important challenge. Here, we defined the protein interactome of motile axonemes using cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL/MS) in Tetrahymena thermophila. From over 19,000 XLs, we identified 4,757 unique amino acid interactions among 1,143 distinct proteins, providing both macromolecular and atomic-scale insights into diverse ciliary machines, including the Intraflagellar Transport system, axonemal dynein arms, radial spokes, the 96 nm ruler, and microtubule inner proteins, among others. Guided by this dataset, we used vertebrate multiciliated cells to reveal novel functional interactions among several poorly-defined human ciliopathy proteins. The dataset therefore provides a powerful resource for studying the basic biology of an ancient organelle and the molecular etiology of human genetic disease.

Abstract
Cilia are hairlike protrusions that project from the surface of eukaryotic cells and play key roles in cell signaling and motility. Ciliary motility is regulated by the conserved nexin-dynein regulatory complex (N-DRC), which links adjacent doublet microtubules and regulates and coordinates the activity of outer doublet complexes. Despite its critical role in cilia motility, the assembly and molecular basis of the regulatory mechanism are poorly understood. Here, using cryo-electron microscopy in conjunction with biochemical cross-linking and integrative modeling, we localize 12 DRC subunits in the N-DRC structure of Tetrahymena thermophila. We also find that the CCDC96/113 complex is in close contact with the DRC9/10 in the linker region. In addition, we reveal that the N-DRC is associated with a network of coiled-coil proteins that most likely mediates N-DRC regulatory activity.

Abstract
Significant advances in the technological development of mass spectrometry in the field of proteomics and the generation of extremely large amounts of data require a very critical approach to assure the validity of results. Commonly used procedures involved liquid chromatography followed by high-resolution mass spectrometry measurements. Proteomics analysis is used in many fields including the investigation of the metabolism of biologically active substances in organisms. Thus, there is a need to care about the validity of the obtained results. In this work, we proposed a standardized protocol for proteomic analysis using liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry, which covers all of these analytical steps to ensure the validity of the results. For this purpose, we explored the requirements of the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard as a reference document for quality control in biochemistry research-based mass spectrometry.
