High throughput high content reverse genetics visual screens of ciliogenesis and cilia maintenance (2012)
Journal Article
Szymanska, K., Wheway, G., Natarajan, S., Higgins, J., Adams, M., Tomlinson, D. C., & Johnson, C. A. (2012). High throughput high content reverse genetics visual screens of ciliogenesis and cilia maintenance. Cilia, 1(S1), P49. https://doi.org/10.1186/2046-2530-1-S1-P49

Cilia are small, hair-like structures occurring on the apical surface of most of vertebrate cells. Defects in cilia cause a range of developmental phenotypes grouped into conditions called ciliopathies. Our aim is to dissect the structure and functio...

MKS1 interacts with components of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway to regulate ciliogenesis and multiple signalling pathways (2012)
Journal Article
Wheway, G., Abdelhamed, Z., Natarajan, S., & Johnson, C. A. (2012). MKS1 interacts with components of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway to regulate ciliogenesis and multiple signalling pathways. Cilia, 1(S1), P108. https://doi.org/10.1186/2046-2530-1-S1-P108

MKS1, a ciliary protein containing a B9 domain of unknown function, plays an important role in ciliogenesis. Mutation of the MKS1 gene causes the neonatal lethal multi-organ developmental condition Meckel-Gruber syndrome, characterized by severe cili...

Molecular genetics and functional characterization of ciliopathies (2011)
Thesis
Wheway, G. Molecular genetics and functional characterization of ciliopathies. (Thesis). University of Leeds. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/972312

Primary cilia are microtubule-based organelles projecting from most epithelial cells in vertebrates, with numerous essential roles in chemo- and mechanosensation. A suite of inherited human conditions are caused by defects in the structure or functio... Read More about Molecular genetics and functional characterization of ciliopathies.

Defects in non-canonical Wnt signalling and actin cytoskeleton remodelling as pathogenic mechanisms in Meckel–Gruber syndrome (2010)
Journal Article
Johnson, C. A., Logan, C. V., Wheway, G., Abdelhamed, Z., & Adams, M. (2010). Defects in non-canonical Wnt signalling and actin cytoskeleton remodelling as pathogenic mechanisms in Meckel–Gruber syndrome. International Journal of Developmental Neuroscience, 28(8), 644-645. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijdevneu.2010.07.015

Primary cilia are mechano- and chemosensory organelles that have a fundamental role in regulating embryogenesis. Inherited disorders that involve aberrant ciliary structure or function are now known as “ciliopathies”, and they invariably present with...

Nesprin-2 interacts with meckelin and mediates ciliogenesis via remodelling of the actin cytoskeleton (2009)
Journal Article
Dawe, H. R., Adams, M., Wheway, G., Szymanska, K., Logan, C. V., Noegel, A. A., …Johnson, C. A. (2009). Nesprin-2 interacts with meckelin and mediates ciliogenesis via remodelling of the actin cytoskeleton. Journal of Cell Science, 122(15), 2716-2726. https://doi.org/10.1242/jcs.043794

Meckel-Gruber syndrome (MKS) is a severe autosomal recessively inherited disorder caused by mutations in genes that encode components of the primary cilium and basal body. Here we show that two MKS proteins, MKS1 and meckelin, that are required for c...

Mutations in the lethal ciliopathy Meckel–Gruber syndrome alter the subcellular distribution of actin-binding proteins and disrupt the actin cytoskeleton (2009)
Journal Article
Adams, M., Dawe, H., Wheway, G., Szymanska, K., Logan, C., Noegel, A., …Johnson, C. (2009). Mutations in the lethal ciliopathy Meckel–Gruber syndrome alter the subcellular distribution of actin-binding proteins and disrupt the actin cytoskeleton.

MKS3, encoding a novel trans-membrane receptor, meckelin with similarity to frizzled proteins, is mutated in Meckel–Gruber syndrome (MKS), an autosomal recessive lethal ciliopathy. Meckelin is a ciliary protein, but it also localises to the actin...
