    basic FUNCTION
  • implicated in Hedgehog pathway through the interaction with Smoothened (SMO), Fused (STK36), and microtubules
  • requirement in the efficient localization of GLI3 to cilia in response to HH and for the processing of GLI3 to its repressor form
  • potential role in coordinating HH signal transduction at the tip of cilia and preventing GLI3 cleavage into a repressor form in the presence of HH
  • cilia-associated protein that regulates signaling from the membrane protein Smoothened (SMO) to GLI transcription factors
  • core regulator of SHH signaling that may also act as a ciliary motor
  • essential regulator of Indian hedgehog signaling
  • plays a role in the turnover of Sufu and regulates the activity of Gli transcription factors
  • SUFU and KIF7 are crucial components in the regulation of GLI2 localization and activity, illustrating their overlapping functions in skin development and tumor suppression

    protein
  • STK36, SMO
  • is required to establish high intracellular GLI activity by antagonizing the SUFU-inhibition of GLI2
  • PPFIA1 functioned with PPP2CA to promote the dephosphorylation of KIF7, triggering KIF7 localization to the tips of primary cilia and promoting GLI transcriptional activity
  • perturbations of SUFU and KIF7 affect GLI activity and recapitulate the full spectrum of vertebrate limb defects, ranging from severe truncation to polydactyly
  • ciliary tip kinesins KIF7 and KIF17 are novel interaction partners of the small GTPase ARL3 and its regulatory GTPase activating protein (GAP) Retinitis Pigmentosa 2 (RP2)
  • 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
