ODAD2 Gene

Name outer dynein arm docking complex subunit 2
Description The protein encoded by this gene contains ten Armadillo repeat motifs (ARMs) and one HEAT repeat, and is thought to be involved in ciliary and flagellar movement. This protein has been shown to localize to the ciliary axonemes and at the ciliary base of respiratory cells. Studies indicate that mutations in this gene cause partial outer dynein arm (ODA) defects in respiratory cilia. The cilia of cells with mutations in this gene displayed either reduced ciliary beat frequency and amplitude, or, complete immotility. Some individuals with primary ciliary dyskensia (PCD) have been shown to have mutations in this gene. PCD is characterized by chronic airway disease and left/right body asymmetry defects. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nODAD2 is a protein that plays a critical role in the proper assembly and function of motile cilia. It functions as part of the docking machinery that targets and anchors the preassembled outer dynein arm (ODA) complexes to the ciliary axoneme, thereby enabling the robust generation of ciliary beating. Defects in proteins with such docking functions lead to reduced ODA numbers, diminished ciliary motility, and can underlie primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) as well as disruptions in left–right patterning."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nStudies on ciliopathies have demonstrated that when components of the ODA docking complex are mutated—like ARMC4 in one analysis—the targeting and stable anchoring of ODAs to the axoneme are compromised. By analogy, mutations in ODAD2 are expected to similarly impair ciliary beating, leading to clinical features that include chronic respiratory defects and laterality abnormalities. This evidence underscores the pivotal role of ODAD2 in coordinating the cytoplasmic preassembly and subsequent precise delivery of ODAs to their proper axonemal location for effective ciliary function."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Rim Hjeij, Anna Lindstrand, Richard Francis, et al.
