What's a GeneRIF?

The authors demonstrate that ARL-3 is a unique small GTPase with unusual high intrinsic GDP release but low intrinsic GTP binding rate. Importantly, ARL-13 acts as a nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) of ARL-3, while UNC-119 can stabilize the GTP binding of ARL-3. We further show that excess inactivated ARL-3 compromises ciliogenesis.
Title: GTP-binding of ARL-3 is activated by ARL-13 as a GEF and stabilized by UNC-119.
Data suggest that two conserved small GTPases, ARL-13 and ARL-3, coordinate to regulate intraflagellar transport and that perturbing this balance results in cilia deformation.
Title: The small GTPases ARL-13 and ARL-3 coordinate intraflagellar transport and ciliogenesis.
