Summary
WDR11 (WD repeat domain 11, HGNC:13831) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10q26.12, encoding WD repeat-containing protein 11 (Q9BZH6). Involved in the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway, is essential for normal ciliogenesis.
This gene encodes a member of the WD repeat protein family. WD repeats are minimally conserved regions of approximately 40 amino acids typically bracketed by gly-his and trp-asp (GH-WD), which may facilitate formation of heterotrimeric or multiprotein complexes. Members of this family are involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, and gene regulation. This gene is located in the chromosome 10q25-26 region, which is frequently deleted in gliomas and tumors of other tissues, and is disrupted by the t(10;19) translocation rearrangement in glioblastoma cells. The gene location suggests that it is a candidate gene for the tumor suppressor locus.

Function. Involved in the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway, is essential for normal ciliogenesis. Regulates the proteolytic processing of GLI3 and cooperates with the transcription factor EMX1 in the induction of downstream Hh pathway gene expression and gonadotropin-releasing hormone production. WDR11 complex facilitates the tethering of Adaptor protein-1 complex (AP-1)-derived vesicles. WDR11 complex acts together with TBC1D23 to facilitate the golgin-mediated capture of vesicles generated using AP-1.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the complex WDR11 composed of C17orf75, FAM91A1 and WDR11; FAM91A1 and WDR11 are required for proper location of the complex. Interacts (via the N-terminal and the central portion of the protein) with EMX1. Interacts with GLI3; the interaction associateS EMX1 with GLI3. Interacts with TBC1D23; this interaction may be indirect and recruits TBC1D23 to AP-1-derived vesicles.

Disease relevance. A chromosomal aberration involving WDR11 is found in a form of glioblastoma. Translocation t(10;19)(q26;q13.3) with ZNF320. A chromosomal aberration involving WDR11 is found in a form of Kallmann syndrome. Translocation 46,XY,t(10;12)(q26.12;q13.11). Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 14 with or without anosmia (HH14) [MIM:614858] A disorder characterized by absent or incomplete sexual maturation by the age of 18 years, in conjunction with low levels of circulating gonadotropins and testosterone and no other abnormalities of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. In some cases, it is associated with non-reproductive phenotypes, such as anosmia, cleft palate, and sensorineural hearing loss. Anosmia or hyposmia is related to the absence or hypoplasia of the olfactory bulbs and tracts. Hypogonadism is due to deficiency in gonadotropin-releasing hormone and probably results from a failure of embryonic migration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone-synthesizing neurons. In the presence of anosmia, idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is referred to as Kallmann syndrome, whereas in the presence of a normal sense of smell, it has been termed normosmic idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (nIHH). The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Intellectual developmental disorder, autosomal recessive 78 (MRT78) [MIM:620237] An autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by usually mild intellectual disability, microcephaly, and short stature. Additional features may include ocular abnormalities and mild skeletal defects. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 121 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.
