Gene Description

CEP83 (centrosomal protein of 83 kDa, also CCDC41) is a coiled-coil protein of the distal appendages (ciliary transition fibers) of the mother centriole. It sits at the root of the appendage blades and is the most upstream component of the appendage assembly hierarchy: CEP83 recruits SCLT1 and CEP89, and through SCLT1 the more distal components FBF1 and CEP164. Loss of CEP83 abolishes distal appendages and blocks docking of the mother centriole to ciliary vesicles and the plasma membrane, so that TTBK2 is not recruited, the CP110 cap is not removed and primary cilia fail to form. CEP83 is itself phosphorylated by TTBK2 at the appendage root, which supports vesicle docking and CP110 removal. A minor pool associates with IFT20 at the Golgi. In mouse neural progenitors CEP83-dependent appendages anchor the centrosome to the apical membrane. Biallelic CEP83 variants cause infantile nephronophthisis (NPHP18), often with intellectual disability.

REMOVE
Summary: IPI with IFT20 (Q8IY31) from the CCDC41/CEP83 study; the abstract reports co-localization of a CEP83 pool with IFT20 at the Golgi and that CEP83 knockdown blocks IFT20 recruitment to the centrosome.
Reason: Bare protein binding carries no functional information. The CEP83-IFT20 association is plausible and is reflected in the review through cilium assembly and protein localization to centrosome annotations; no specific molecular function term is supported by the interaction alone. Removal does not dispute the interaction.

REMOVE
Summary: IPI with CEP164 (Q9UPV0) from the CCDC41/CEP83 study.
Reason: Bare protein binding is uninformative. The CEP83-CEP164 interaction is consistent with the distal appendage assembly hierarchy (CEP83 at the appendage root, CEP164 at the tip), but no more specific MF term is justified; the structural role is captured by the ciliary transition fiber annotation and core function.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:23530209
CCDC41 specifically localizes to the distal end of the mother centriole and interacts with centrosomal protein 164 (Cep164), a distal appendage component.
GO:0005794 Golgi apparatus
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: IBA propagation of Golgi apparatus localization, with CEP83 itself among the experimental sources.
Reason: A minor Golgi-associated pool co-localizing with IFT20 was reported for human CEP83, and CEP83 appearing in the WITH/FROM is expected for an IBA grounded in its own experimental data. The HPA atlas also lists Golgi apparatus and vesicles as main locations. The functionally defining location is the distal appendage; the Golgi pool is retained as non-core.

Summary: Reactome places this distal appendage protein in its 'cytosol' compartment for a ciliogenesis reaction; Reactome has no centriole/distal-appendage compartment, so centrosomal reactions are modelled in cytosol.

The protein is a structural component of the centriolar distal appendages (ciliary transition fibers), which are part of the centrosome in the cytoplasm rather than the soluble cytosol.

GO:0051660 establishment of centrosome localization
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: IBA establishment of centrosome localization, sourced from mouse Cep83.
Reason: In mouse radial glial progenitors, removal of CEP83 eliminates distal appendages and disrupts anchoring of the centrosome to the apical membrane. This is a downstream structural consequence of distal appendage loss (anchoring rather than directed movement of the centrosome), so it is retained as non-core rather than a core function.

ACCEPT
Summary: IMP from the DAP study: CEP83 is required to recruit SCLT1 and CEP89 (and indirectly FBF1/CEP164) to centrioles, and for TTBK2 recruitment.
Reason: CEP83 is the root of the distal appendage assembly hierarchy and is needed to localize the downstream DAP components to the mother centriole, a part of the centrosome. The term is acceptable, though it captures assembly of the appendage structure rather than a transport activity.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:23348840

Summary: Proposed: CEP83 contributes to the structural integrity of the distal appendage (ciliary transition fiber) blade, as one of the four proteins forming the blade backbone.
Reason: Super-resolution mapping shows the protein forms part of the backbone of the distal appendage blades, and loss-of-function abolishes recruitment of downstream appendage components. No enzymatic or specific binding activity is known, so structural molecule activity is the most accurate available MF term. This is a molecular-function proposal, not a process term.

Core Functions

Structural root component of the mother-centriole distal appendages (ciliary transition fibers). CEP83 is required to assemble the appendages by recruiting SCLT1 and CEP89 (and through SCLT1, FBF1 and CEP164), and thereby enables docking of the mother centriole to ciliary vesicles and the plasma membrane, TTBK2 recruitment, CP110 removal and initiation of primary cilium assembly.

    In human cell experiments, loss of CEP83 prevents centriolar accumulation of SCLT1, CEP89, CEP164 and FBF1 without simply reducing their overall abundance.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Which CEP83 surfaces directly contact SCLT1 and CEP89, and does TTBK2 phosphorylation of CEP83 alter these contacts or the docking of ciliary vesicles?

Q: Does the Golgi-associated CEP83 pool have a function independent of the distal appendages, for example in IFT20-dependent membrane trafficking?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Reconstitute CEP83 with SCLT1 and CEP89 in vitro and map binding interfaces by crosslinking mass spectrometry, then test interface mutants for distal appendage assembly and ciliogenesis in CEP83-knockout RPE-1 cells.
