ARP-T1 is a ciliary protein associated with a novel ciliopathy in inherited basal cell cancer, Bazex-Dupré-Christol Syndrome
2019
Actin-Related Protein-Testis1 (ARP-T1)/ ACTRT1 gene mutations cause the Bazex-Dupre-Christol Syndrome (BDCS) characterized by follicular atrophoderma, hypotrichosis and basal cell cancer. Here, we report an ARP-T1 interactome involved in ciliogenesis, endosomal recycling and septin ring formation (PXD016557). Consequently, ARP-T1 localizes to the midbody during cytokinesis and the basal body of primary cilia in G0. Tissue samples from BDCS patients show reduced ciliary length with significant correlations of ARP-T1 expression levels, confirmed by ACTRT1 knock down. We report that BDCS is a novel ciliopathy and the first case of a skin cancer ciliopathy, where ARP-T1 plays a critical role to prevent pathogenesis.
