  • Ciliary assembly/disassembly
  • Trafficking (BBSome, small GTPases, vesicular transport, ATPases)
  • Actin & cytoskeleton regulation

Function

Recruitment and stabilisation of CP110 to centrosomes. Both CP110 and CEP97 complexes regulate basal body function, centrosome functions and inhibit cilia assembly (17719545). Loss of CEP97 causes premature cilia formation or abnormal centriole elongation (30375385). CEP97 ubiquitylation and degradation play a key role in the removal of the CEP97–CP110 complex from the mother centriole for initiating ciliary axoneme extension (30404837).

Model organism evidence

Mus musculus (2 references)

RNA sequencing of E18.5 kidneys from glucocorticoid receptor (GR) null mice identified significant reductions in key ciliogenesis-related genes including Ccp110, Cep97, Cep290 and Kif3a.

ENKD1 promotes CP110 removal through competing with CEP97 to initiate ciliogenesis.
