Abstract:
Cilia, either motile or immotile, exist on most cells in the human body. There are several different mechanisms of ciliogenesis, which enable the production of many kinds of cilia and flagella: motile and immotile, transient and long-lived. These can be linked to the cell cycle or associated with differentiation. A primary cilium is extended from a basal body analogous to the mitotic centrioles, whereas the several hundred centrioles needed to form the cilia of a multi-ciliated cell can be generated by centriolar or acentriolar pathways. Little is known about the molecular control of these pathways and most of our knowledge comes from ultrastructural studies. The increasing number of genetic diseases linked to dysfunctional cilia and basal bodies has renewed interest in this area, and recent proteomic and cell biological studies in model organisms have helped to shed light on the molecular components of these enigmatic organelles.Keywords:

Abstract Cilia perform essential signalling functions during development and tissue homeostasis. Ciliary malfunction causes a variety of diseases, named ciliopathies. The key role that the mother centriole plays in cilia formation can be attributed to appendage proteins that associate exclusively with the mother centriole. The distal appendages form a platform that docks early ciliary vesicles and removes CP110/Cep97 inhibitory complexes from the mother centriole. Here, we analysed the role played by LRRC45 in appendage formation and ciliogenesis. We show that the core appendage proteins Cep83 and SCLT1 recruit LRRC45 to the mother centriole. Once there LRRC45 recruits FBF1. The association of LRRC45 with the basal body of primary and motile cilia in differentiated and stem cells reveals a broad function in ciliogenesis. In contrast to the appendage components Cep164 and Cep123, LRRC45 was neither essential for docking of early ciliary vesicles nor for removal of CP110. Rather, LRRC45 promotes cilia biogenesis in CP110-uncapped centrioles by organising centriolar satellites and promoting the docking of Rab8 GTPase-positive vesicles. We propose that, instead of acting solely as a platform to recruit early vesicles, centriole appendages form discrete scaffolds of cooperating proteins that execute specific functions that promote the initial steps of ciliogenesis.

Significance The primary cilium is a hair-like cell surface organelle, the loss of which leads to numerous human diseases collectively known as ciliopathies. To better understand the pathology and to develop treatments for these diseases, it is critical to identify important regulators of cilium biogenesis and to reveal their mechanisms of function. We show that C2cd3 is required for the assembly of a structure at the distal end of the mother centriole, which serves as an anchor of the cilium. Without this structure, the mother centriole cannot associate with the membrane, and many other cilium proteins cannot be recruited to the centriole. This work provides a significant insight into one of the earliest steps in cilium formation.

Cilia formation is a multi-step process that starts with the docking of a vesicle at the distal part of the mother centriole. This step marks the conversion of the mother centriole into the basal body, from which axonemal microtubules extend to form the ciliary compartment. How vesicles are stably attached to the mother centriole to initiate ciliary membrane biogenesis is unknown. Here, we investigate the molecular role of the mother centriolar component Cep164 in ciliogenesis. We show that Cep164 was indispensable for the docking of vesicles at the mother centriole. Using biochemical and functional assays, we identified the components of the vesicular transport machinery, the GEF Rabin8 and the GTPase Rab8, as interacting partners of Cep164. We propose that Cep164 is targeted to the apical domain of the mother centriole to provide the molecular link between the mother centriole and the membrane biogenesis machinery that initiates cilia formation.

Centrioles are the foundation for centrosome and cilia formation. The biogenesis of centrioles is initiated by an assembly mechanism that first synthesizes the ninefold symmetrical cartwheel and subsequently leads to a stable cylindrical microtubule scaffold that is capable of withstanding microtubule-based forces generated by centrosomes and cilia. We report that the conserved WD40 repeat domain–containing cartwheel protein Poc1 is required for the structural maintenance of centrioles in Tetrahymena thermophila. Furthermore, human Poc1B is required for primary ciliogenesis, and in zebrafish, DrPoc1B knockdown causes ciliary defects and morphological phenotypes consistent with human ciliopathies. T. thermophila Poc1 exhibits a protein incorporation profile commonly associated with structural centriole components in which the majority of Poc1 is stably incorporated during new centriole assembly. A second dynamic population assembles throughout the cell cycle. Our experiments identify novel roles for Poc1 in centriole stability and ciliogenesis.

Summary— This review is concerned with the formation during ciliogenesis of centrioles and basal bodies, primarily in epithelial multiciliated cells from the developing vertebrate respiratory and reproductive tracts. During ciliated cell differentiation, in these as well as in other cell types, cilium formation is preceded by the formation of centrioles assembled from precursor structures having little resemblance to the mature organelle. The origin, composition and function of the centriole precursor structures in generating large numbers of centrioles in a short period of time during ciliogenesis is discussed. This review also focuses on the biochemistry of centrioles and basal bodies and on recent experimental evidence that DNA might be associated with these structures.

Cilia are cellular projections that assemble on centriole-derived basal bodies. While cilia assembly is absolutely dependent on centrioles, it is not known to what extent they contribute to downstream events. The nematode C. elegans provides a unique opportunity to address this question, as centrioles do not persist at the base of mature cilia. Using fluorescence microscopy and electron tomography, we find that centrioles degenerate early during ciliogenesis. The transition zone and axoneme are not completely formed at this time, indicating that cilia maturation does not depend on intact centrioles. The hydrolethalus syndrome protein HYLS-1 is the only centriolar protein known to remain at the base of mature cilia and is required for intraflagellar transport trafficking. Surprisingly, targeted degradation of HYLS-1 after initiation of ciliogenesis does not affect ciliary structures. Taken together, our results indicate that while centrioles are essential to initiate cilia formation, they are dispensable for cilia maturation and maintenance.
