The Bardet-Biedl protein Bbs1 controls photoreceptor outer segment protein and lipid composition
2021-07-13
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Primary cilia are key sensory organelles whose dysfunction leads to ciliopathy disorders such as Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS). Retinal degeneration is common in ciliopathies, since the outer segments (OSs) of photoreceptors are highly specialized primary cilia. BBS1, encoded by the most commonly mutated BBS-associated gene, is part of the BBSome protein complex. Using a new bbs1 zebrafish mutant,...
