● 30-fold expansion of
cerebellar volume
● PC control the mitotic activity
of GC within the EGL
● Correct proliferation is
necessary for foliation
● Shh expressed first by the choroid plexus and later by purkinje cells
after E17.5
● Shh is a ligand for the receptor patched 1 (Ptch1)
○ In the absence of Shh, Ptch1 inhibits smoothened (Smo)
○ When Shh binds Ptch1, Smo is activated allowing downstream
activation of glioblastoma (Gli) proteins
● Shh targets include genes involved in cell growth and division, various
transcription factors and components of the Shh pathway (regulation)
Mechanism of Joubert??
Ciliopathies
Ciliopathies are diseases caused by
defective ciliary function
JS is a ciliopathy
Primary cilia
Non-motile cilia
Cilia are dynamic organelles, being resorbed prior to mitosis and extended after
cell- division
Primary cilia
The transition zone (TZ) controls the protein
composition of the ciliary membrane
Tub Ac = acetylated tubulin, a marker for the structural component of the primary cilium
Tub Ac = acetylated tubulin, a marker for the structural component of the primary cilium
Transition zone acts a selective gateway for proteins exiting and entering cilium

Question
Considering the Shh signaling pathway, what is the
significance of the transition zone in maintaining proper cell
division and growth?
