Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionbbs-1 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of human BBS1, a protein containing a predicted beta-propeller domain; bbs-1 is a component of and is required for proper intraflagellar transport (IFT); bbs-1 acts in ciliated neurons in a pathway along with kat-1/3-ketoacyl-coA thiolase, tub-1/tubby and other genes involved in ciliary structure and function to regulate fat storage, as such, bbs-1 affects body size, feeding and chemosensation; bbs-1 is also required for the proper regulation of insulin secretion; bbs-1, bbs-5, bbs-8 and bbs-9 mutants along with ciliary phenotypes show an increased secretion of insulin, biogenic amines and neuropeptides which requires the Rab27/AEX-6 dense-core vesicle exocytosis machinery; BBS-1::GFP reporter fusion is expressed exclusively in ciliated neurons, where it localizes to the transition zones and along the ciliary axonemes; the bbs-1 5' untranslated region contains an X box, a regulatory element found in many genes expressed in ciliated neurons, that functions as a binding site for the DAF-19 transcription factor.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00024175

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable patched binding activity and smoothened binding activity. Involved in non-motile cilium assembly. Acts upstream of or within intraciliary retrograde transport and protein localization to cilium. Located in axoneme; ciliary basal body; and neuron projection. Expressed in ciliated neurons and sensory neurons. Used to study Bardet-Biedl syndrome; alcohol use disorder; and obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome 1 and obesity. Is an ortholog of human BBS1 (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 1).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceIn humans, the BBS1 gene is mutated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome 1 (BBS1); Bardet-Biedl syndrome phenotypes include retinal degeneration, obesity, renal malformations, polydactyly and learning disabilities ; studies in the worm have contributed extensively to the finding that cystic kidney diseases can be considered ciliopathies; most of the known BBS proteins in human and elegans encode basal body or cilia proteins involved in ciliary structure and function including intraflagellar transport (IFT); studies in elegans indicate the following: bbs-1 is required for proper cilium structure and function and acts with tub-1/tubby and other ciliary genes in sensory neurons to regulate fat storage indicating the presence of a neuroendocrine axis involved in fat regulation; bbs proteins also regulate secretion of insulin, biogenic amines and neuropeptides, suggesting that some of the clinical manifestations of human BBS may result from excessive endocrine activity; the transcription of BBS proteins and other ciliary proteins is mediated by a RFX-transcription factor.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00038373
