Disease[PTHB1_HUMAN] Bardet-Biedl syndrome. A chromosomal aberration involving PTHB1 has been found in Wilms tumor. Translocation t(1;7)(q42;p15) with OBSCN. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. [BBS1_HUMAN] Bardet-Biedl syndrome. Ciliary dysfunction leads to a broad spectrum of disorders, collectively termed ciliopathies. Overlapping clinical features include retinal degeneration, renal cystic disease, skeletal abnormalities, fibrosis of various organ, and a complex range of anatomical and functional defects of the central and peripheral nervous system. The ciliopathy range of diseases includes Meckel-Gruber syndrome, Bardet-Biedl syndrome, Joubert syndrome, nephronophtisis, Senior-Loken syndrome, and Jeune asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy among others. Single-locus allelism is insufficient to explain the variable penetrance and expressivity of such disorders, leading to the suggestion that variations across multiple sites of the ciliary proteome, including BBS1, influence the clinical outcome. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. [BBS4_HUMAN] Bardet-Biedl syndrome. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. [BBIP1_HUMAN] Bardet-Biedl syndrome. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Function[PTHB1_HUMAN] The BBSome complex is thought to function as a coat complex required for sorting of specific membrane proteins to the primary cilia. The BBSome complex is required for ciliogenesis but is dispensable for centriolar satellite function. This ciliogenic function is mediated in part by the Rab8 GDP/GTP exchange factor, which localizes to the basal body and contacts the BBSome. Rab8(GTP) enters the primary cilium and promotes extension of the ciliary membrane. Firstly the BBSome associates with the ciliary membrane and binds to RAB3IP/Rabin8, the guanosyl exchange factor (GEF) for Rab8 and then the Rab8-GTP localizes to the cilium and promotes docking and fusion of carrier vesicles to the base of the ciliary membrane. Required for proper BBSome complex assembly and its ciliary localization.[1] [2] [BBS1_HUMAN] The BBSome complex is thought to function as a coat complex required for sorting of specific membrane proteins to the primary cilia.

The BBSome complex, together with the LTZL1, controls SMO ciliary trafficking and contributes to the sonic hedgehog (SHH) pathway regulation. Required for proper BBSome complex assembly and its ciliary localization (PubMed:17574030, PubMed:22072986). Plays a role in olfactory cilium biogenesis/maintenance and trafficking (By similarity).[UniProtKB:Q3V3N7][3] [4] [BBS4_HUMAN] The BBSome complex is thought to function as a coat complex required for sorting of specific membrane proteins to the primary cilia.

Required for proper BBSome complex assembly and its ciliary localization. Required for microtubule anchoring at the centrosome but not for microtubule nucleation. May be required for the dynein-mediated transport of pericentriolar proteins to the centrosome.[5] [6] [7] [BBIP1_HUMAN] The BBSome complex is thought to function as a coat complex required for sorting of specific membrane proteins to the primary cilia.

Required for primary cilia assembly and BBSome stability. Regulates cytoplasmic microtubule stability and acetylation.[8] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe BBSome is a heterooctameric protein complex that plays a central role in primary cilia homeostasis. Its malfunction causes the severe ciliopathy Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS). The complex acts as a cargo adapter that recognizes signaling proteins such as GPCRs and links them to the intraflagellar transport machinery. The underlying mechanism is poorly understood. Here we present a high-resolution cryo-EM structure of a human heterohexameric core subcomplex of the BBSome. The structure reveals the architecture of the complex in atomic detail. It explains how the subunits interact with each other and how disease-causing mutations hamper this interaction. The complex adopts a conformation that is open for binding to membrane-associated GTPase Arl6 and a large positively charged patch likely strengthens the interaction with the membrane. A prominent negatively charged cleft at the center of the complex is likely involved in binding of positively charged signaling sequences of cargo proteins.
