  • located at connecting cilium axoneme
  • PLK1 colocalizes with NPHP1 to the transition zone of primary cilia in epithelial cells
  • basic FUNCTION
  • may be playing a role in the control of epithelial cell polarity
  • adaptor protein involved in cytoskeleton organization and cell adhesion regulation
  • may also participate in intraflagellar transport pathways in photoreceptor cells
  • playing an important role in epithelial cell organization
  • may participate along with the Par polarity complex in microtubule-dependent transport during ciliogenesis
  • role in epithelial polarity and formation of TJs potentially via their association with polarity proteins MPP5 and PARD6A and PARD6B
  • having a role in basal body anchoring and establishing a ciliary gate during ciliogenesis
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • may be a constituent of tubular basal membrane flanked by two large inverted repeats of ~330 kb with a 45 kb sequence located adjacent to the proximal large repeat and a direct 45 kb repeat inserted in the distal large repeat
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • NPHP4, NPHP3, INVS
  • interacting with BCAR1, PTK2B, tensin and filamin
  • interacting with TNK2 (implicating cell
  • /cell junctions and the renal collecting duct in the pathology of nephronophthisis)
  • interacting with NPHS1 and PARD3 (interaction mediated through the PDZ domain of PARD3 and conserved carboxyl terminal residues in NPHP1 and NPHS1, and essential for establishing the three-dimensional architecture of podocytes at the kidney filtration barrier)
  • TNK2 is a novel interaction partner of nephrocystin-1 and implicate cell-cell junctions and the renal collecting duct in the pathology of nephronophthisis
  • interaction between the PKD1 polyproline motif and the NPHP1 SH3 domain
  • NPHP1 and nephrocystin-4 (NPHP4) interact and NPHP4 negatively regulates tyrosine phosphorylation of NPHP1
  • interaction of NPHP1/PACS1 is negatively regulated by NPHP4
  • JADE1 colocalizes with NPHP1 at the transition zone of primary cilia and interacts with NPHP4
  • INVS, NPHP1 can interfere with ciliary disassembly through interaction with the AURKA module, thereby modulating cell cycle control and cell proliferation
  • interacts genetically with AHI1
  • ZNF131 activity notably promotes expression of Joubert Syndrome ciliopathy genes, including KIF7, NPHP1, and TMEM237, as well as HAUS5, a component of Augmin/HAUS complex that facilitates microtubule nucleation along the mitotic spindle
