Cilia are critical for proper embryonic development and maintaining homeostasis. Although extensively studied, there are still significant gaps regarding the proteins involved in regulating ciliogenesis. Using the Xenopus laevis embryo, we show that Dishevelled (Dvl), a key Wnt signaling scaffold that is critical to proper ciliogenesis, interacts with Drg1 (developmentally regulated GTP-binding protein 1). The loss of Drg1 or disruption of the interaction with Dvl reduces the length and number of cilia and displays defects in basal body migration and docking to the apical surface of multiciliated cells (MCCs). Moreover, Drg1 morphants display abnormal rotational polarity of basal bodies and a decrease in apical actin and RhoA activity that can be attributed to disruption of the protein complex between Dvl and Daam1, as well as between Daam1 and RhoA. These results support the concept that the Drg1–Dvl interaction regulates apical actin polymerization and stability in MCCs. Thus, Drg1 is a newly identified partner of Dvl in regulating ciliogenesis.

Treatment of human myeloid leukaemic (HL60) cells with Clostridium limosum exoenzyme, which inactivates the small GTP-binding protein Rho by ADP-ribosylation, decreased the basal F-actin content. Inhibition of F-actin occurred after long-term treatment (24 h) of intact HL60 cells or after introduction of the toxin by electropermeabilization in a toxin-concentration-dependent manner. Concomitantly with the decrease in the basal F-actin content, the GTP-binding protein Rho was ADP-ribosylated in intact cells. However, Clostridium limosum toxin had no inhibitory effect on N-formyl-peptide-induced actin polymerization. Moreover, the relative N-formyl-peptide-stimulated polymerization was substantially enhanced in cells treated with Clostridium limosum transferase. In contrast with Clostridium limosum exoenzyme, component C21 of the Clostridium botulinum C2 toxin, which ADP-ribosylates G-actin, depolymerized basal F-actin and inhibited N-formyl-peptide-induced actin polymerization in electropermeabilized HL60 cells. These findings indicate that Rho proteins are involved in the basal, but not the ligand-evoked, actin polymerization in HL60 cells.
