Centriole structural integrity defects are a crucial feature of Hydrolethalus Syndrome.

ABSTRACT: Hydrolethalus Syndrome (HLS) is a lethal, autosomal recessive ciliopathy caused by the mutation of the conserved centriole protein HYLS1. However, how HYLS1 facilitates the centriole-based templating of cilia is poorly understood. Here, we show that mice harboring the HYLS1 disease mutation die shortly after birth and exhibit developmental defects that recapitulate several manifestations of the human disease. These phenotypes arise from tissue-specific defects in cilia assembly and function caused by a loss of centriole integrity. We show that HYLS1 is recruited to the centriole by CEP120 and functions to recruit centriole inner scaffold proteins that stabilize the centriolar microtubule wall. The HLS mutation disrupts the interaction of HYLS1 with CEP120 leading to HYLS1 displacement and
