Phenotypes

Mouse phenotype:
decreased leukocyte cell number

Subcellular localization

basal body, cilia, endosome, nucleus

Functional category

  • Ciliary assembly/disassembly
  • Actin & cytoskeleton regulation
  • T cell biology
  • Neurogenesis & migration
  • Viral interactions
  • Cell migration & adhesion
  • Signaling (Hedgehog, GPCRs, ion channels)
  • Cardiac & muscle development
  • Transcription regulation

Function

Suppression of ciliogenesis by directly phosphorylating the deubiquiti se USP8, which stabilises the trichoplein-Aurora A pathway (29472535) and through the MEK and ERK pathway (31430961). Contributes to cell cycle progression through inhibition of ciliogenesis (29472535).

Model organism evidence

Mus musculus (1 reference)

Primary cilia promote resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, osimertinib, in non-small cell lung cancer.
