Actin cross-linking organizes basal body patterning through anomalous diffusion transitions

Jakub Sedzinski, Mandar M. Inamdar, Poul-Martin Bendix, Raghavan Thiagarajan, Younes Farhangi Barooji

Actin cross-linking shifts basal bodies from diffusive to confined motion, producing uniform patterning for aligned cilia.

Claims

C1strongest claim

progressive apical actin cross-linking coordinates BB positioning and regulates their dynamic state, guiding the shift from diffusive to confined motion. This transition in dynamics enables the emergence of a uniform BB pattern, which in turn ensures the aligned deployment of motile cilia necessary for effective directional fluid flow.

C2weakest assumption

The assumption that the observed correlation between increasing actin cross-linking and the shift to confined basal body motion is causal and not driven by other concurrent changes in cell size, membrane tension, or additional cytoskeletal components during the same developmental window.

C3one line summary

Progressive actin cross-linking in the apical cortex drives a transition from anomalous diffusion to confined motion of basal bodies, enabling uniform patterning for coordinated cilia function.
