Summary
CEP131 (centrosomal protein 131, HGNC:29511) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q25.3, encoding Centrosomal protein of 131 kDa (Q9UPN4). Component of centriolar satellites contributing to the building of a complex and dynamic network required to regulate cilia/flagellum formation. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 47.2% of cell lines).
Enables protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including intraciliary transport involved in cilium assembly; protein localization to centrosome; and regulation of centrosome duplication. Located in several cellular components, including ciliary transition zone; intercellular bridge; and microtubule organizing center.

Function. Component of centriolar satellites contributing to the building of a complex and dynamic network required to regulate cilia/flagellum formation. In proliferating cells, MIB1-mediated ubiquitination induces its sequestration within centriolar satellites, precluding untimely cilia formation initiation. In contrast, during normal and ultraviolet or heat shock cellular stress-induced ciliogenesis, its non-ubiquitinated form is rapidly displaced from centriolar satellites and recruited to centrosome/basal bodies in a microtubule- and p38 MAPK-dependent manner. Also acts as a negative regulator of BBSome ciliary trafficking. Plays a role in sperm flagellar formation; may be involved in the regulation of intraflagellar transport (IFT) and/or intramanchette (IMT) trafficking, which are important for axoneme extension and/or cargo delivery to the nascent sperm tail. Required for optimal cell proliferation and cell cycle progression; may play a role in the regulation of genome stability in non-ciliogenic cells. Involved in centriole duplication. Required for CEP152, WDR62 and CEP63 centrosomal localization and promotes the centrosomal localization of CDK2. Essential for maintaining proper centriolar satellite integrity.
Subunit / interactions. Self-associates. Associates with the centriolar satellite BBSome protein complex. Interacts with BBS4; the interaction limits BBS4 availability for association with the BBSome complex, and hence negatively regulates ciliary localization of the BBSome complex. Interacts with MIB1. Interacts with PCM1; the interaction increases in response to ultraviolet light (UV) radiation. Associates with microtubules; association with microtubules is reduced in response to cellular stress, such as UV stimulation, in a process that requires p38 MAP kinase signaling. Interacts with CEP290, DCTN1, PCNT, PCM1 and CEP152. Interacts with 14-3-3 proteins following UV-induced phosphorylation by MAPKAPK2; this inhibits formation of novel centriolar satellites. Interacts with SDCCAG8. Interacts with CCDC61. Interacts with PLK4.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Microtubule organizing center. Centrosome. Centriolar satellite. Centriole. Cilium basal body. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Secretory vesicle. Acrosome.
Post-translational modifications. Ubiquitinated. Undergoes monoubiquitination catalyzed by the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase MIB1 in proliferating cells, preventing cilia formation. Monoubiquitination by MIB1 is inhibited in response to cellular stress, such as ultraviolet light (UV) radiation or heat shock, resulting in cilia formation initiation. MAPKAPK2-dependent phosphorylation at Ser-47 and Ser-78 occurs in response to cellular stress such as exposure to ultraviolet irradiation and promotes binding to 14-3-3 proteins which leads to cytoplasmic sequestration of CEP131 and blocks formation of new centriolar satellites. Phosphorylation at Ser-78 mediated by PLK4 is essential for proper organization and integrity of centriolar satellites but is dispensable for its localization to centrioles and its function in ciliogenesis.
Induction. Up-regulated by the transcription factor SP1.
Miscellaneous. Transient cell cultured-based knock-down (by RNAi) of CEP131 leads to a reduction in ciliogenesis. However, analysis of mice with chronic absence of CEP131 following genetic deletion (knockout) shows that cilia develop and function normally in vivo. This suggests that CEP131 is not essential for ciliogenesis, except for the modified cilia of the developing sperm flagella, and that there is an alternative mechanism to compensate for the lack of CEP131.
Similarity. Belongs to the CEP131 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 196 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
