PIERCE1 activators predominantly function by manipulating microtubule dynamics, creating cellular conditions that either induce or necessitate PIERCE1's involvement in axonemal stabilization and outer dynein arm attachment. Agents like paclitaxel and epothilone B function by stabilizing microtubules, thereby supporting axonemal structures essential for motile cilia function. Their action indirectly necessitates the stabilization role of PIERCE1 in the axoneme.
In contrast, compounds like colchicine, nocodazole, and vincristine destabilize microtubules, indirectly engaging PIERCE1 by creating a scenario where reformation and stabilization of axonemal microtubules are essential for ciliary motility. By disrupting the equilibrium of microtubule assembly and disassembly, these chemicals induce a cellular state where PIERCE1's role becomes critical for restoring axonemal integrity and facilitating ciliary motion.
