Novel protein networks in motile cilia from human epithelial cells revealed by cryo-ET and proteomics analysis of cilia from PCD patients

In our past study on human cilia from primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) patients using cryo-electron tomography and mass spectrometry, defects in the DNAH5 gene were proven to cause the loss of the entire outer dynein arm along with other proteins. This phenomenon was not observed in the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas. In this study, we examined the loss of ciliary components caused by…
