Abstract excerpt
Defective assembly of primary cilia causes ciliopathies, but cilia disassembly and its role in disease remain poorly understood. From a genome-wide CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) screen for negative regulators of ciliary function, we find here that the F2R G protein-coupled receptor, sterile alpha and TIR motif-containing 1 (SARM1) hydrolase, ryanodine receptors, peri-centrosomal calcium signaling, and RhoA form a...
