Function

Regulation of ciliary resorption in response to extracelullar stress and it is also a downstream AurA effector. Destabilises the microtubular axoneme through deacetylation of tubulin, which promotes ciliary disassembly (17604723, 24026243). Mediates an autophagy- dependent mechanism called ciliophagy (24200693) Overexpression on Cilia Length: Decreases cilia length. The study shows that increased levels of HDAC6 lead directly to the shortening and disassembly of connecting cilia.LoF on Cilia Length: Prevents stress-induced cilia shortening. In HDAC6 knockout mice, cilia length is maintained even under the oxygen-induced stress that causes disassembly in normal mice. Percentage of Ciliated Cells: Overexpression decreases the density (percentage) of ciliated cells, while a loss-of-function maintains the normal density.
