Addressing the Functional Determinants of FAK during Ciliogenesis in Multiciliated Cells

Antoniades, Ioanna; Stylianou, Panayiota; Christodoulou, Neophytos; Skourides, Paris A. (2017)

We previously identified focal adhesion kinase (FAK) as an important regulator of ciliogenesis in multiciliated cells. FAK and other focal adhesion (FA) proteins associate with the basal bodies and their striated rootlets ...

Making the Connection: Ciliary Adhesion Complexes Anchor Basal Bodies to the Actin Cytoskeleton

Antoniades, Ioanna; Stylianou, Panayiota; Skourides, Paris A. (2014)

Cilia have been associated with diverse developmental and physiological processes, and defects in cilia underlie a number of genetic conditions. Several lines of evidence support a critical role of the actin cytoskeleton ...

The nucleotide-binding proteins Nubp1 and Nubp2 are negative regulators of ciliogenesis

Kypri, Elena; Christodoulou, A.; Maimaris, G.; Lethan, M.; Markaki, M.; Lysandrou, C.; Lederer, C. W.; Tavernarakis, N.; Geimer, S.; Pedersen, L. B.; Santama, Niovi (2014)

Nucleotide-binding proteins Nubp1 and Nubp2 are MRP/MinD-type P-loop NTPases with sequence similarity to bacterial division site-determining proteins and are conserved, essential proteins throughout the Eukaryotes. They ...
