A complement factor H homolog, heparan sulfation, and syndecan maintain inversin compartment boundaries in C. elegans cilia
15 Apr 2021
Abstract excerpt
Significance Mutations in complement factor H (CFH) binding sites for heparan sulfate (HS) increase risk for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), but the roles of CFH and HS in disease pathogenesis remain unclear. Here, we find that a CFH homolog, HS modification, and the HS proteoglycan syndecan/SDN-1 have roles in maintaining cilia compartment boundaries in the sensory neurons of aging C. elegans adults. The...
