  • localized to the centrosome of dividing cells basal bodies at the base of the cilia in many different cell types, including the photoreceptor connecting cilium
  • localizes to centrioles as well as to the connecting cilium
  • of the photoreceptor cell
    basic FUNCTION
  • playing crucial role in establishing polarity and regulating intracellular transport in post-mitotic cells
  • having a critical function in ciliary transport and providing insights into the mechanism of early-onset photoreceptor degeneration
  • participating in regulating the transport of specific signaling proteins involved in odorant detection
  • plays multiple regulatory roles in protein entry into the cilium
  • localizes primarily to the TZ (transition zone) of photoreceptors and regulates ciliogenesis and photoreceptor viability
  • participate in overlapping signaling pathways to maintain photoreceptor homeostasis
  • cooperates with RAB8A to promote ciliogenesis and this function is antagonized by CP110
  • localized primarily to the (connecting) cilium (CC) adjoining the outer segment (OS) to the photoreceptor cell body, and is thought to be involved in the formation of microtubule-membrane linkers in this region
  • mediate LEPR trafficking and impaired LEPR signaling underlies energy imbalance in the disease
  • has an important role in the proper development of both the respiratory ciliary structures and the connecting cilia of photoreceptors
  • CEP290 and CEP72 in centriolar satellites regulate the ciliary localization of BBS4, which in turn affects assembly and recruitment of the BBSome
  • is involved in the assembly of primary cilia in neural cells
  • KIAA0586 and CEP290 play overlapping and distinct roles in ciliary vesicle formation through regulation of centriolar satellite accretion and RAB8A

  • retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator, RPGR
  • activating transcription factor 4, ATF4
  • CP110 protein
  • nephrocystin-5, NPHP5
  • pericentriolar material 1, PCM1
  • coiled-coil and C2 domain containing 2A, CC2D2A
  • CEP290 and CP110 interact with RAB8A, a small GTPase required for cilia assembly
  • interacting with PEBP1, and mutation in CEP290 may completely abolish its interaction and subsequently result in relatively higher levels of PEBP1 and subsequent mislocalization of key signaling proteins in other tissues
  • McKusick-Kaufman syndrome, MKKS
  • CEP72 is a PCM1-interacting protein required for recruitment of the ciliopathy-associated protein CEP290 to centriolar satellites
  • CEP131 is recruited to centriolar satellites by PCM1, and localised to the centriolar core region by both pericentrin and CEP290
  • direct interaction of FAM161A with lebercilin (LCA5), CEP290, OFD1 and SDCCAG8, all involved in hereditary retinal degeneration
  • genetic interactions between BBSome components and CEP290 could underlie the variable expression and overlapping phenotypes of ciliopathies caused by CEP290 mutations
  • importance of SSX2IP for efficient recruitment of the ciliopathy-associated satellite protein CEP290 to both satellites and the basal body
  • KIAA0586 is required for centriolar satellite dispersal, which precedes the formation of mature ciliary vesicles, a process requiring CEP290
  • CCDC13 is a newly identified centriolar satellite protein that interacts with PCM1, CEP290 and pericentrin and prevents the accumulation of DNA damage during mitotic transit

    combinations of Cep290rd16 and Mkksko alleles in RD16 mice led to improved ciliogenesis and sensory functions
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • rd16 mouse, mutated in Cep290, exhibits early-onset retinal degeneration with autosomal recessive inheritance with considerable deterioration of rod and cone functions
  • Abyssinian cats with Cep290 intronic mutations Shows an autosomal recessive form of retinal degeneration closely resembling human retinitis pigmentosa
  • Knockdown of zebrafish NPHP6 leads to to severe early embryonic developmental defects prior to gastrulation. Embryos are unable to perform epiboly and never reached the gastrulation stage and display defective eye development associated with abnormal structuring of the early brain compartments
  • zebrafish embryos, combined subminimal knockdown of mkks and cep290 produced sensory defects in the eye and inner ear
