Function

Component of centriolar satellites contributing to the building of a complex and dynamic network required to regulate cilia/flagellum formation (PubMed:17954613, PubMed:24185901). In proliferating cells, MIB1-mediated ubiquitination induces its sequestration within centriolar satellites, precluding untimely cilia formation initiation (PubMed:24121310). In contrast, during normal and ultraviolet or heat shock cellular stress-induced ciliogenesis, its non-ubiquitinated form is rapidly displaced from centriolar satellites and recruited to centrosome/basal bodies in a microtubule- and p38 MAPK-dependent manner (PubMed:24121310, PubMed:26616734). Acts also as a negative regulator of BBSome ciliary trafficking (PubMed:24550735). Plays a role in sperm flagellar formation; may be involved in the regulation of intraflagellar transport (IFT) and/or intramanchette (IMT) trafficking, which are important for axoneme extension and/or cargo delivery to the nascent sperm tail (By similarity). Required for optimal cell proliferation and cell cycle progression; may play a role in the regulation of genome stability in non-ciliogenic cells (PubMed:22797915, PubMed:26297806). Involved in centriole duplication (By similarity). Required for CEP152, WDR62 and CEP63 centrosomal localization and promotes the centrosomal localization of CDK2 (PubMed:26297806). Essential for maintaining proper centriolar satellite integrity (PubMed:30804208).

Activity summary

AZI1 also known as 5-azacytidine-induced protein 1 is a protein involved in various cellular processes. It has a molecular weight of approximately 52 kDa. AZI1 is expressed in multiple tissues with higher expression levels reported in the testis and basal skin epidermis. This protein is known for its mechanistic role in the regulation of ciliogenesis contributing to the formation and function of cilia in the cell. While the precise mechanisms remain under study AZI1's presence in cilia is significant for its mechanical functions.

Biological function summary

The function of AZI1 is associated with its participation in the BBSome complex a group of proteins critical for proper ciliogenesis. It acts as an important player in ciliogenesis aiding in the assembly and maintenance of cilia which are hair-like structures on cells. Cilia play essential roles in cellular signaling and the transport of proteins and other molecules across cellular surfaces. AZI1 helps in the recruitment of proteins essential for the biogenesis and maintenance of these structures thereby ensuring the correct functioning of cilia-dependent processes.

Pathways

AZI1's involvement in ciliogenesis makes it integral to the Hedgehog signaling pathway which relies heavily on ciliary function for the transduction of signals that regulate cellular growth and differentiation. In addition AZI1 interacts with proteins such as DYF-2 a homolog of human IFT144 which also participates in ciliogenesis and is a component of intraflagellar transport linking AZI1 to the intraflagellar transport pathways necessary for maintaining cilia structure and function.

Associated diseases and disorders

AZI1's association with ciliogenesis connects it to disorders like Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) a condition characterized by defects in ciliary structure and function. The malfunctioning of AZI1 and related BBSome proteins disrupts normal cilia function contributing to the development of BBS which manifests in symptoms like vision loss and obesity. Furthermore mutations in AZI1 are also studied in the context of certain ciliopathies connecting it alongside proteins like BBS1 and BBS4 which are also involved in these syndromes. Understanding AZI1's role in these disorders enhances insights into therapeutic targets for cilia-related diseases.

    SDCCAG8 associates with a characteristic set of proteins at the centrosome.(A) The Sdccag8 interacting proteins discovered by SILAC as centrosomal components belong to 4 functional groups, i.e. centriolar satellite components, endosomal vesicle components, tRNA synthesis complex proteins, and myosin type II motors involved in ciliogenesis. (B) Overview of the SDCCAG8 constructs used in this study. Numbering corresponds to amino acid positions. Gray boxes designate coiled-coil domains. (C) SDCCAG8 interacts with RABEP2, ERC1, and CEP131. FLAG-tagged full-length and truncation constructs of SDCCAG8 were immunoprecipitated from extracts of HEK293 cells transfected with each construct and analyzed by Western blot. Blots were probed for FLAG, or for endogenous RABEP2, ERC1, and CEP131 respectively. Only full-length FLAG-tagged SDCCAG8, but not truncated SDCCAG8 constructs co-immunoprecipitate RABEP2, ERC1 or CEP131, except for the C-terminal SDCCAG8 fragment that weakly co-immunoprecipitated RABEP2. (D) Western blot for endogenous proteins in whole cell lysates shows equal loading. (E) CEP131 co-immunoprecipitates FLAG-SDCCAG8. Lysates from cells transfected with FLAG-SDCCAG8 and with non-specific control siRNA or with siCEP131 were subjected to immunoprecipitation using anti-CEP131 antibodies or normal IgG. While anti-CEP131 antibodies co-immunoprecipitated FLAG-SDCCAG8 from control lysates, CEP131 knockdown abolished immunoprecipitation of FLAG-SDCCAG8, demonstrating specificity of the interaction.
