Function

High-speed video microscopy and morphological analysis of Bug22p-depleted cells showed that the protein plays an important role in the efficiency of ciliary movement by participating in the stroke shape and rigidity of cilia(PMID: 20118210).

Model organism evidence

C. elegans (1 reference)

Modulation of inner junction proteins contributes to axoneme differentiation.

Mus musculus (1 reference)

We show here that BROMI interacts not only with CCRK but also with CFAP20, an evolutionarily conserved ciliary protein, and with FAM149B1/ Joubert syndrome (JBTS)36, a protein in which mutations cause JBTS.
