Dyneins are microtubule-based molecular motors that power both ciliary/flagellar motility and a variety of essential intracellular motile events. In order for these massive enzymes to function correctly, they must be attached to the appropriate cargo and motor activity must be precisely regulated. Over the last few years we have identified a series of highly intriguing dynein components that appear to be involved in these regulatory activities. Current focus in the laboratory is on understanding the mechanisms which control motor function using a wide variety of techniques ranging from physiological measurements and genetic analyses to structural biology.

The Role of WDR92 in Cytoplasmic Preassembly of Axonemal Dyneins

Cilia are required for organismal development and homeostasis.  The motility of these organelles is generated by dynein molecular motors.  These massive complexes are preassembled in the cytoplasm and over the last several years, multiple factors have been identified as being needed for this process.  Recently, we identified a component of a prefoldin-like co-chaperone complex as being required for the coordinate assembly of multiple ciliary components.  Furthermore, we have now obtained a Chlamydomonas null mutant which is able only to build very short (~0.5 micron) cilia.  This project will involve using biochemical, genetic and cell biological approaches to determine how WDR92 is specifically involved in building motile ciliary axonemes.


Curvature Sensing by Axonemal Dyneins

Axonemal dyneins must sense and respond to the curvature that they experience in order for regions of active microtubule sliding to oscillate across the structure and to propagate a wave of motor activity along the organelle generating a ciliary beat; both activities must occur at a rate consistent with the beat frequency (~60 Hz in Chlamydomonas).  For outer arm dyneins, we hypothesized that this mechano-switching involves a highly conserved leucine-rich repeat protein (LC1) that interacts directly with both MTs and the MT-binding domain of the outer arm g HC.  This project will utilize a newly available null mutant to rigorously test this concept by expressing mutant LC1 variants designed based on our previous biochemical and structural studies.  I anticipate that this will provide novel mechanistic insight into this fundamental feature of ciliary motility.


Peptide Amidation and the Control of Ciliogenesis (King and Eipper Laboratories)

Cilia are essential signaling and motile organelles that play key roles in development and homeostasis.  Defects in these microtubule-based structures lead to a broad array of phenotypes (including infertility, obesity, neurological disorders, polycystic kidneys, retinal degeneration, skeletal abnormalities and many others) collectively known as ciliopathies.  The enzyme peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monoxygenase (PAM) converts glycine-extended peptides into bioactive amidated products (e.g. oxytocin and vasopressin).  Although originally thought to have co-evolved with the nervous system, we recently found that PAM has deeper evolutionary roots and has been conserved in all organisms (even unicellular ones) that build sensory cilia.  Furthermore, using amiRNA knockdown strains of the green alga Chlamydomonas (the premier model system for analysis of cilia assembly and motility) we have now demonstrated that active PAM is not only present in cilia, but is actually essential for ciliogenesis, potentially through its effects on post-Golgi trafficking.  This project will focus on using biochemical, cell biological and molecular genetic approaches to further elucidate the mechanism(s) by which PAM activity impacts on cilia assembly and function.
