The research report should be a detailed narrative explaining the function, biological processes, and localization of the gene product. Citations should be given for all claims.
You should prioritize authoritative reviews and primary scientific literature when conducting research. You can supplement
this with annotations you find in gene/protein databases, but these can be outdated or inaccurate.
We are specifically interested in the primary function of the gene - for enzymes, what reaction is catalyzed, and what is the substrate specificity? For transporters, what is the substrate? For structural proteins or adapters, what is the broader structural role? For signaling molecules, what is the role in the pathway.
We are interested in where in or outside the cell the gene product carries out its function.
We are also interested in the signaling or biochemical pathways in which the gene functions. We are less interested in broad pleiotropic effects, except where these elucidate the precise role.
Include evidence where possible. We are interested in both experimental evidence as well as inference from structure, evolution, or bioinformatic analysis. Precise studies should be prioritized over high-throughput, where available.
The evidence retrieved consistently refers to INTU as Inturned, a planar cell polarity (PCP) effector and a core subunit of the CPLANE (ciliogenesis and planar polarity effector) complex, aligning with the UniProt record provided (human INTU/Q9ULD6; “Protein inturned / Inturned planar cell polarity effector homolog”). (toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 7-13, toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 1-5, langousis2022structureofthe pages 1-2)
Key structural/domain features reported in the primary structural literature match the UniProt-described domain logic (PDZ + longin-like regions): the reconstituted mammalian CPLANE complex includes INTU with an N-terminal PDZ and multiple longin-like domains that mediate heteromeric assembly with FUZ and binding to WDPCP. (langousis2022structureofthe pages 9-10, martinsalazar2022cplanecomplexand pages 2-4)
Ciliogenesis is the assembly of the primary cilium (a microtubule-based projection). Basal bodies (modified centrioles) nucleate the cilium, and IFT is the bidirectional transport system that moves structural and signaling components along the ciliary axoneme. INTU’s strongest experimental linkage is to the recruitment and organization of IFT components at the basal body—a precondition for productive ciliogenesis and cilia-mediated signaling. (toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 7-13, toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 1-5)
PCP describes coordinated cell orientation across the plane of a tissue. PCP “effector” proteins (including Inturned/INTU) are downstream components that translate PCP cues into cytoskeletal/trafficking outcomes; evidence and synthesis in the cilia literature place INTU among PCP effectors that interface with ciliogenesis. (leggere2023discoverydrivenproteomicsprovide pages 166-169, martinsalazar2022cplanecomplexand pages 8-10)
CPLANE is a conserved genetic/protein module linking PCP effectors to ciliogenesis and ciliopathies. INTU is a core CPLANE component with FUZ and WDPCP, and CPLANE additionally engages JBTS17/C5orf42 and the small GTPase RSG1 in the basal-body compartment. (toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 1-5, martinsalazar2022cplanecomplexand pages 1-2)
A central mechanistic finding is that CPLANE proteins, including INTU, direct basal body recruitment of intraflagellar transport machinery. In the foundational study defining CPLANE, INTU pulldowns recovered CPLANE components (FUZ, WDPCP, JBTS17, RSG1) and multiple IFT-A proteins, supporting a role in assembling/recruiting specific IFT machinery at the ciliary base. (Toriyama et al., Nature Genetics, May 2016; https://doi.org/10.1038/ng.3558) (toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 1-5)
Functionally, the same work provided experimental evidence that INTU participates in basal-body recruitment processes and IFT dynamics in multiciliated contexts (in vivo imaging and perturbation experiments), placing INTU upstream of normal IFT organization. (toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 7-13)
Structural work reconstituting human CPLANE showed that INTU is a major architectural subunit: an Intu–Fuz heterodimer is embedded within a crescent-like CPLANE complex, and INTU supplies a large interface for Wdpcp–Intu contacts. Quantitative interface areas (e.g., Wdpcp–Intu and Intu–Fuz) were summarized in a review of CPLANE structure/function, consistent with the near-atomic structure paper. (Langousis et al., Science Advances, Apr 2022; https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abn0832) (langousis2022structureofthe pages 9-10, martinsalazar2022cplanecomplexand pages 2-4)
The CPLANE complex exhibits phosphoinositide binding, with preference for PI(3)P, and is proposed to operate on PI(3)P-rich vesicles involved in early/late ciliogenesis steps (e.g., near the nascent ciliary vesicle rather than within mature axonemes). This provides a mechanistic bridge between INTU-containing complexes and trafficking/vesicle tethering at the ciliary base. (Langousis et al., Science Advances, Apr 2022; https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abn0832) (langousis2022structureofthe pages 9-10, langousis2022structureofthe pages 1-2)
Beyond scaffolding, structural/biochemical evidence indicates that INTU and FUZ have GEF activity toward Rab23, and specific INTU substitutions (A452T, E500A) reduce this activity in vitro. This defines a direct biochemical function for INTU in small GTPase regulation, linking CPLANE to membrane trafficking and cilia-related signaling logic. (Langousis et al., Science Advances, Apr 2022; https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abn0832) (langousis2022structureofthe pages 9-10)
Proteomics and reciprocal pulldown/co-IP approaches identified robust associations placing INTU in a core CPLANE complex with:
- FUZ
- WDPCP
- JBTS17/C5orf42
- RSG1
These interactions were recovered from tandem affinity purifications using LAP-Intu and supported by reciprocal approaches. (Toriyama et al., Nature Genetics, May 2016; https://doi.org/10.1038/ng.3558) (toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 1-5)
INTU-associated purifications included multiple IFT-A proteins (examples described in the CPLANE interactome), supporting a role in recruiting/assembling an IFT-A subset at basal bodies. (toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 1-5)
In multiciliated cells, GFP-Inturned localizes to basal bodies, providing direct evidence that INTU acts at the ciliary base. (Toriyama et al., Nature Genetics, May 2016; Supp. Fig. 4c) (toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane media ad83121c, toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane media bbc6b4c6)
Moreover, JBTS17 knockdown affects basal-body GFP-Inturned intensity, supporting a functional interaction at the basal body compartment. (toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 7-13)
Consistent with PI(3)P preference (an endosomal/vesicular lipid marker) and genetic arrest phenotypes at vesicle-related ciliogenesis stages, CPLANE/INTU is proposed to operate on vesicular structures proximal to the ciliary base (rather than as a component moving along the axoneme). (langousis2022structureofthe pages 9-10)
INTU is strongly implicated in ciliogenesis through basal-body recruitment/organization of IFT machinery (notably IFT-A subset effects), explaining why INTU disruption produces classic ciliopathy phenotypes. (toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 7-13, toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 1-5)
INTU is a PCP effector that also regulates ciliogenesis, illustrating mechanistic coupling between planar polarity programs and construction/positioning of ciliary structures. This connection is emphasized in cilia/PCP synthesis literature. (leggere2023discoverydrivenproteomicsprovide pages 166-169, martinsalazar2022cplanecomplexand pages 8-10)
Reviews of CPLANE emphasize that disruption of CPLANE genes (including INTU) leads to defective ciliogenesis and defective activation of Hedgehog signaling, consistent with the cilium’s established role as a Hedgehog signaling organelle. (Martín-Salazar & Valverde, Biomolecules, Jun 2022; https://doi.org/10.3390/biom12060847) (martinsalazar2022cplanecomplexand pages 1-2)
Human ciliopathy-associated INTU variants reported in the CPLANE study include:
- Ala452Thr (A452T) associated with nephronophthisis (NPHP) (pedigree evidence). (toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 7-13, toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane media ca9c1a0d)
- Glu500Ala (E500A) associated with short-rib polydactyly (SRP) (conservation evidence by alignment and reported association). (toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 7-13, toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane media 9deac263)
- Asn132Lysfs*11 (frameshift) and Gln276Ter (nonsense) presented in pedigrees in supplementary data supporting pathogenicity in affected families. (toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane media ad83121c, toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane media 9deac263)
These genotype–phenotype links connect INTU dysfunction to orofaciodigital syndrome (OFD), nephronophthisis, and short-rib polydactyly, reinforcing INTU’s core role in ciliogenesis and cilia-dependent developmental programs. (Toriyama et al., Nature Genetics, May 2016; https://doi.org/10.1038/ng.3558) (toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 7-13)
Reported clinical observations include an OFD patient with Y-shaped metacarpals and an SRP case described as transheterozygous for INTU and WDR35 variants, supporting genetic/functional connectivity between CPLANE and IFT machinery in human disease. (toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 7-13)
In the retrieved primary INTU-focused disease source, variant pedigrees and qualitative phenotypes are provided, but INTU-specific prevalence/incidence statistics for these rare ciliopathies were not reported in the accessible excerpts. (toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 7-13, toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane media ad83121c)
Although not INTU-specific, a 2024 mechanistic study on CPLANE protein FUZ demonstrates that CPLANE-family proteins can regulate localized RhoA activity and actin polymerization at the basal body, and that pharmacologic inhibition of ROCK or actin polymerization can strongly rescue ciliogenesis defects in Fuz−/− cells/explants (e.g., substantial rescue of ciliation with cytochalasin D in Fuz−/− MEFs). This provides a modern, experimentally tractable pathway node likely relevant to INTU-containing CPLANE complexes operating at the basal body. (Sharma et al., Development, Mar 2024; https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.202322) (sharma2024thecplaneprotein pages 1-2)
A 2024 review of renal ciliopathies and actin regulation highlights that variants in FUZ, INTU, and WDPCP are associated with ciliopathies and emphasizes actin remodeling at the ciliary base as a key mechanistic theme with potential therapeutic implications. (Kalot et al., Frontiers in Nephrology, Jan 2024; https://doi.org/10.3389/fneph.2023.1331847) (vazquez2025thehumanciliopathy pages 13-15)
A 2023 cilia-focused proteomics thesis/research text reiterates INTU as a PCP effector and “important regulator of cilia formation and embryonic development,” reinforcing the prevailing model that INTU acts at the PCP–ciliogenesis interface. (Leggere, Aug 2023; https://doi.org/10.26153/tsw/50147) (leggere2023discoverydrivenproteomicsprovide pages 166-169)
The clearest real-world implementation is in clinical genetics: INTU is an established ciliopathy gene candidate, and specific pathogenic variants (including truncating alleles and missense variants affecting conserved residues and/or biochemical activity) have been documented in affected families. Such evidence supports inclusion of INTU in gene panels and variant interpretation pipelines for syndromic ciliopathies (e.g., OFD/SRP/NPHP-like presentations). (toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 7-13, toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane media 9deac263)
While no INTU-directed therapy exists in the retrieved set, the 2024 demonstration that ciliogenesis defects can be rescued by modulating ROCK/actin polymerization in a CPLANE gene knockout model suggests a plausible class of pathway-level interventions to explore in CPLANE-related ciliopathies. This is best viewed as an emerging, preclinical mechanistic direction rather than an established therapy. (sharma2024thecplaneprotein pages 1-2)

|---|---|---|
| Identity / domains | INTU in the retrieved literature matches human Inturned planar cell polarity effector (UniProt Q9ULD6), a CPLANE-associated PCP effector. Structural work supports an N-terminal PDZ domain plus multiple longin-like domains (LD1-LD3) that organize CPLANE assembly and membrane interactions. (langousis2022structureofthe pages 9-10, martinsalazar2022cplanecomplexand pages 2-4, toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 1-5) | Langousis et al., 2022, Science Advances, doi:10.1126/sciadv.abn0832, https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abn0832; Martín-Salazar & Valverde, 2022, Biomolecules, doi:10.3390/biom12060847, https://doi.org/10.3390/biom12060847 |
| Complex membership | INTU is a core CPLANE subunit with WDPCP and FUZ; it also associates with JBTS17/C5orf42 and RSG1. Tandem affinity purification/co-IP datasets identified INTU within a broader ciliogenesis network and linked it to IFT-A proteins. (toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 7-13, toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 1-5, martinsalazar2022cplanecomplexand pages 1-2) | Toriyama et al., 2016, Nature Genetics, doi:10.1038/ng.3558, https://doi.org/10.1038/ng.3558; Martín-Salazar & Valverde, 2022, https://doi.org/10.3390/biom12060847 |
| Molecular function | INTU is not an enzyme of classical metabolism; its primary function is as a ciliogenesis scaffold/effector that helps organize CPLANE and promote basal-body recruitment/assembly of IFT-A machinery. Structural/biochemical studies also support that INTU-FUZ acts as a Rab23 guanine-nucleotide exchange factor (GEF), and CPLANE shows phosphoinositide binding, especially PI(3)P. (langousis2022structureofthe pages 9-10, martinsalazar2022cplanecomplexand pages 2-4, toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 7-13, langousis2022structureofthe pages 1-2) | Langousis et al., 2022, https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abn0832; Toriyama et al., 2016, https://doi.org/10.1038/ng.3558 |
| Localization | Experimental imaging in multiciliated cells showed GFP-Inturned localizes to basal bodies; JBTS17 knockdown alters basal-body GFP-Inturned signal. Structural interpretation further suggests CPLANE/INTU acts on PI(3)P-rich vesicles near the nascent ciliary vesicle/base of cilia, rather than as an axonemal transport particle. (toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 7-13, toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane media ad83121c, toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane media bbc6b4c6, toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane media ca9c1a0d, toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane media 9deac263, langousis2022structureofthe pages 9-10) | Toriyama et al., 2016 (Supplementary Fig. 4c, Supp. Fig. 6), https://doi.org/10.1038/ng.3558; Langousis et al., 2022, https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abn0832 |
| Pathways | INTU connects planar cell polarity (PCP) to ciliogenesis, IFT-A-dependent ciliary trafficking, and downstream Hedgehog (Hh) signaling. Reviews emphasize that CPLANE defects impair cilium formation and Hh pathway activation; mechanistic papers place INTU in late ciliogenesis and IFT recruitment. (leggere2023discoverydrivenproteomicsprovide pages 166-169, toriyama2016theciliopathyassociatedcplane pages 7-13, martinsalazar2022cplanecomplexand pages 1-2, langousis2022structureofthe pages 1-2, martinsalazar2022cplanecomplexand pages 8-10) | Toriyama et al., 2016, https://doi.org/10.1038/ng.3558; Martín-Salazar & Valverde, 2022, https://doi.org/10.3390/biom12060847; Leggere, 2023, doi:10.26153/tsw/50147, https://doi.org/10.26153/tsw/50147 |
| Disease variants / phenotypes | Human INTU variants reported in ciliopathy contexts include Ala452Thr (A452; nephronophthisis), Glu500Ala (E500; short-rib polydactyly), Asn132Lysfs*11, and Gln276Ter. Reported phenotypes include orofaciodigital syndrome, short-rib polydactyly, and nephronophthisis; one OFD case showed Y-shaped metacarpals, and an SRP case was transheterozygous for INTU and WDR35 variants.

| Key recent developments (2023-2024) | Recent work did not add many INTU-specific primary studies in the retrieved set, but 2023-2024 sources strengthened the CPLANE framework: reviews highlighted INTU/FUZ/WDPCP in ciliopathies and PCP-cilia crosstalk; actin-focused 2024 work on FUZ showed CPLANE can regulate basal-body actin/RhoA, likely relevant to INTU-containing complexes; 2023 proteomics/reviews continued to place INTU as an important PCP/ciliogenesis regulator. Important remaining gap: reviews note that the specific INTU role within IFT regulation remains incompletely resolved.
