Cilia effects upon perturbation of SEPTIN11

Loss-of-function effect:
Shorter cilia

Phenotypes

Mouse phenotype:
preweaning lethality, complete penetrance, embryonic growth retardation, abnormal embryo size, pretal lethality prior to heart atrial septation, embryonic lethality prior to tooth bud stage

Subcellular localization

cilia

Functional category

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

Function

Septins are either enriched at the apical cell cortex including the ciliary bases (septin-2, -4, -6, and -7), or show axonemal staining (septin-2, -7, -9 and -11) or specifically localize to ciliary sub-compartments (septin-8 and -9)(24317785).

Model organism evidence

C. elegans (1 reference)

Primary cilia rely on compartmentalisation mechanisms that establish the organelle's protein and lipid composition.
