Transport of the outer dynein arm complex to cilia requires a cytoplasmic protein Lrrc6

Abstract: Lrrc6 encodes a cytoplasmic protein that is expressed specifically in cells with motile cilia including the node, trachea and testes of the mice. A mutation of Lrrc6 has been identified in human patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). Mutant mice lacking Lrrc6 show typical PCD defects such as hydrocephalus and laterality defects. We found that in the absence of Lrrc6, the morphology of motile cilia remained normal, but their motility was completely lost. The 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules remained n… Show more

“…LRRC6/Seahorse (Leucine-Rich Repeat-Containing 6) ( Figure 2) is another DNAAFs whose defects cause primary ciliary dyskinesia (CILD19) [37][38][39]. LRRC6, containing several LRR repeats is another protein expressed specifically in cells with motile cilia, including the nodal, tracheal, and sperm cells in mice [39]. LRRC6, in addition to six LRR repeats at the N-terminus, also contains a CS domain at the C-terminus [48].…”

“…The CS domain is likely essential for the direct interaction between LRRC6 and RuvBL2 [35,37,48] or DNAAF7 [35] (Table 1). In mutant mice and individuals affected with PCD lacking LRRC6 the length of cilia was normal, but nodal and typical motile cilia were immotile due to the loss of IDAs and ODAs [37][38][39] (Table 2). Probably, the lack of IDAs and ODAs in the axoneme of the mutant lacking LRRC6 was caused by defective transport of the dynein arm to the cilia [39].…”

“…High levels of homology between several DNAAFs (PIH1D3/DNAAF6, DNAAF2 and SPAG1) and key non-catalytic subunits (PIH1 and TAH1) of the well-known R2TP co-chaperone complex, further implicate these DNAAFs in chaperoning functions. Interactions between LRRC6, DNAAF1/LRRC50 and C21ORF59/Kurly were recently reported which, coupled with the phenotypic analysis of Lrrc6 mutant mice, suggests that these assembly factors may primarily function in apical targeting/trafficking of dynein complexes 9,10 . The functions of DNAAF5/HEATR2 which has no reported links to chaperones, remain elusive 11 .…”

“…In gene-targeted mice lacking functional LRRC6, cilia microtubules remained normal but the outer dynein arms (ODAs), the structures essential for the ciliary beating, are absent. In the absence of LRRC6, ODA proteins that normally are assembled in the cytoplasm and transported to the ciliary axoneme, remain in the cytoplasm and are not transported to the ciliary axoneme [ 68 , 69 ].…”
