TEP-1, a glial thioester protein is required for cilia organization and intraflagellar transport in ensheathed sensory neurons

Yumiko Oshima, Yaminisree Nagidi, M. Rajashekhar Moorthy, Jonathon A. Heier, Joanne Aiko Matsubara, Jeff D. Hardin, Martin F. Flajnik, Bruce E. Vogel

This study identifies TEP-1 as a glial thioester protein essential for cilia organization and intraflagellar transport in C. elegans, linking it to AMD and EODM pathogenesis through ciliary dysfunction.

Complement Factor H and its C. elegans homolog regulate IFT52/OSM-6 and CNG channel localization in sensory neurons

Yumiko Oshima, Katarzyna A. Hussey, Joanna F. D. Hagen, Zeljka Smit‐McBride, M. Rajashekhar Moorthy, Joanne Aiko Matsubara, Martin F. Flajnik, Robert J. Johnston, Bruce E. Vogel

This study shows CFH and its C. elegans homolog CFH-1 regulate IFT52/OSM-6 and CNG channel localization in sensory neurons, linking CFH dysfunction to AMD-related ciliary defects.
