Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the human NPHP5 gene cause retinal and renal disease, but the precise mechanism by which NPHP5 functions is not understood. We report that NPHP5 is a centriolar protein whose depletion inhibits an early step of ciliogenesis, a phenotype reminiscent of Cep290 loss and contrary to IFT88 loss. Functional dissection of NPHP5 interactions with Cep290 and CaM reveals a requirement of the former for...
