Primary cilia are microtubule (MT)-based organelles that mediate sensory functions in multiple cell types. Disruption of cilia structure or function leads to a diverse collection of diseases termed ciliopathies. The highly conserved CCRK and RCK kinases (ICK/MOK/MAK) negatively regulate cilia length and structure in Chlamydomonas, C. elegans, and mammalian cells. How the activity of this kinase cascade is tuned to precisely regulate cilia architecture is unclear. Mutations in the Domain of Unknown Function DUF3719-containing protein FAM149B1 have recently been shown to elongate cilia via unknown mechanisms and result in the ciliopathy Joubert syndrome. Here we identify XBX-4, a DUF3719-containing protein related to human FAM149B1, as a regulator of the DYF-18 CCRK and DYF-5 MAK kinase pathway in C. elegans. As in dyf-18 and dyf-5 mutants, sensory neuron cilia are elongated in xbx-4 mutants and exhibit stabilized axonemal MTs. XBX-4 promotes DYF-18 CCRK function to regulate localization and function of DYF-5 MAK. We find that Joubert syndrome-associated mutations in the XBX-4 DUF3719 domain also elongate cilia in C. elegans. Our results identify a new metazoan-specific regulator of this highly conserved kinase pathway, and suggest that FAM149B1 may similarly act via the CCRK/RCK kinase pathway to regulate ciliary homeostasis in humans. Maurya and Sengupta show that the C. elegans XBX-4 DUF3719 protein acts upstream of the CCRK/RCK cascade to regulate sensory cilia structure. Joubert syndrome-associated mutations in the human DUF3719 protein FAM149B1 as well as XBX-4 elongate cilia. Context-specific tuning of this kinase cascade may allow precise modulation of cilia architecture.
