Abstract
In humans, ciliary dysfunction causes ciliopathies, which present as multiple organ defects, including developmental and sensory abnormalities. Sdccag8 is a centrosomal/basal body protein essential for proper cilia formation. Gene mutations in SDCCAG8 have been found in patients with ciliopathies manifesting a broad spectrum of symptoms, including hypogonadism. Among these mutations, several that are predicted to truncate the SDCCAG8 carboxyl (C) terminus are also associated with such symptoms; however, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. In the present study, we identified the Sdccag8 C-terminal region (Sdccag8-C) as a module that interacts with the ciliopathy proteins, Ick/Cilk1 and Mak, which were shown to be essential for the regulation of ciliary protein trafficking and cilia length in mammals in our previous studies. We found that Sdccag8-C is essential for Sdccag8 localization to centrosomes and cilia formation in cultured cells. We then generated a mouse mutant in which Sdccag8-C was truncated (Sdccag8ΔC/ΔC mice) using a CRISPR-mediated stop codon knock-in strategy. In Sdccag8ΔC/ΔC mice, we observed abnormalities in cilia formation and ciliopathy-like organ phenotypes, including cleft palate, polydactyly, retinal degeneration, and cystic kidney, which partially overlapped with those previously observed in Ick- and Mak-deficient mice. Furthermore, Sdccag8ΔC/ΔC mice exhibited a defect in spermatogenesis, which was a previously uncharacterized phenotype of Sdccag8 dysfunction. Together, these results shed light on the molecular and pathological mechanisms underlying ciliopathies observed in patients with SDCCAG8 mutations and may advance our understanding of protein–protein interaction networks involved in cilia development.

Cilia are evolutionarily conserved microtubule-based organelles that extend from the basal bodies and are formed on the cell surface (1Gerdes J.M. Davis E.E. Katsanis N. The vertebrate primary cilium in development, homeostasis, and disease.Cell. 2009; 137: 32-45Google Scholar, 2Malicki J.J. Johnson C.A. The cilium: Cellular antenna and central processing unit.Trends Cell Biol. 2017; 27: 126-140Google Scholar). They are generally classified into two categories: motile cilia and primary cilia (3Ishikawa H. Marshall W.F. Ciliogenesis: Building the cell's antenna.Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 2011; 12: 222-234Google Scholar). Motile cilia are formed on specific epithelial cell types and cooperatively beat in wave-like patterns to generate fluid flow. Sperm flagella are an example of motile cilia which mainly function in cell locomotion. On the other hand, primary cilia are present in almost every cell type in vertebrates and act as cellular antennae to sense physical and biochemical extracellular signals. In humans, ciliary dysfunction causes diseases known as ciliopathies, which are characterized by a broad spectrum of pathologies, including polydactyly, craniofacial abnormalities, brain malformation, situs inversus, obesity, diabetes, retinal and renal degeneration, hearing loss, and infertility (4Nigg E.A. Raff J.W. Centrioles, centrosomes, and cilia in health and disease.Cell. 2009; 139: 663-678Google Scholar, 5Hildebrandt F. Benzing T. Katsanis N. Ciliopathies.N. Engl. J. Med. 2011; 364: 1533-1543Google Scholar). Many ciliary proteins are known to play important roles in human physiology, signaling, and development (6Reiter J.F. Leroux M.R. Genes and molecular pathways underpinning ciliopathies.Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 2017; 18: 533-547Google Scholar). It was recently reported that there are at least 38 established ciliopathies with mutations in at least 247 genes (7Lovera M. Luders J. The ciliary impact of nonciliary gene mutations.Trends Cell Biol. 2021; 31: 876-887Google Scholar). For example, Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS), which is an autosomal recessive ciliopathy that results in a plethora of developmental and multiorgan defects, is known to be caused by mutations in 22 identified pathogenic genes (8McConnachie D.J. Stow J.L. Mallett A.J. Ciliopathies and the kidney: A review.Am. J. Kidney Dis. 2021; 77: 410-419Google Scholar). In addition, mutations in more than 25 different pathogenic genes have been shown to be associated with nephronophthisis (NPHP), an autosomal recessive renal ciliopathy with additional features such as retinal defects, liver fibrosis, skeletal abnormalities, and brain developmental disorders (9Luo F. Tao Y.H. Nephronophthisis: A review of genotype-phenotype correlation.Nephrology (Carlton). 2018; 23: 904-911Google Scholar). Although many gene mutations causing ciliopathies have been found in humans, the molecular and pathological mechanisms underlying ciliopathies are still not well understood. Serologically defined colon cancer antigen 8 (SDCCAG8) was identified as a centrosome-associated tumor antigen protein and is also known as centrosomal colon cancer autoantigen protein, NPHP10, and BBS16 (10Kenedy A.A. Cohen K.J. Loveys D.A. Kato G.J. Dang C.V. Identification and characterization of the novel centrosome-associated protein CCCAP.Gene. 2003; 303: 35-46Google Scholar). Mutations in SDCCAG8 are associated with an NPHP-related ciliopathy, characterized by retinal and renal degeneration, cognitive defects, obesity, hypogonadism, hearing loss, recurrent respiratory infections, and infrequently clinodactyly (11Otto E.A.
