    text
  • localize to the cilium
  • WDR35 is present in the endoplasmic reticulum, but usually not in lysosomes
  • basic FUNCTION
  • involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, and gene regulation
  • having a ciliary function
  • may function as a novel modulator activating caspase-3, and promoting TNF-alpha-stimulated apoptosis
  • required for mammalian ciliogenesis
  • WDR35 regulates cilium assembly by selectively regulating transport of distinct cargoes
  • WDR35 is essential for entry of many membrane proteins into the cilium through robust interactions with cargoes and other IFT-A subunits, but the actin network functions to dampen this transport
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • intraflagellar transport component
  • IFT-A protein complex consists of IFT43, WDR35, IFT122, TTC21B, IFT140 and WDR19 and is associated with THM1 and TULP3
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • IFT43 directly interacts with WDR35 and loss of IFT43 results in instability of IFT-A

    down-regulated WDR35 may damage the cilia formation and sequentially indirectly regulate GLI signal, which would eventually result in negative regulation of osteogenic differentiation
