RSP3 (RSPH3 ortholog in Chlamydomonas) is an A-kinase anchoring protein (AKAP) located in the radial spoke stalk; RII-binding domain mapped to amino acids 144-180, predicted to form an amphipathic helix; amino acid substitutions L to P or VL to AA in the central residues abolish RII binding. RSP3 is positioned near inner arm dyneins where anchored PKA can regulate dynein activity. |

RSP3 (RSPH3 ortholog in Chlamydomonas) binds directly to spokeless axonemes from pf14 cells but not to wild-type axonemes or purified microtubules; the axoneme-binding domain is located within amino acids 1-85 (minimal domain: aa 42-85); deletion of aa 1-85 abolishes axoneme binding; aa 18-87 are required for radial spoke assembly and flagellar motility. |

Disruption of the PKA-binding (RII-binding) domain in Chlamydomonas RSP3 results in unregulated axonemal cAMP-dependent PKA activity; transformed pf14 cells with RII-domain mutant RSP3 display paralyzed or twitching flagella; PKA inhibitors rescue motility, confirming that misregulated PKA activity causes the motility defect. Radial spoke assembly is not grossly disrupted by the RII-domain mutation. |

Chlamydomonas RSP3 forms a homodimer; the dimerization domain coincides with the N-terminal axoneme-binding domain. Each radial spoke is proposed to be built on an RSP3 dimer, allowing localization of multiple PKAs or AKAP-binding proteins per spoke. |

Human RSPH3 interacts with ERK2 (identified in a yeast two-hybrid screen for proteins with higher affinity for phosphorylated/active ERK2); RSPH3 is a substrate for ERK1/2; RSPH3 is also an AKAP that scaffolds the PKA holoenzyme by binding regulatory subunits RIIα and RIIβ; ERK1/2 activity and phosphorylation regulate RSPH3 binding to RII subunits. |

Chlamydomonas RSP3 forms a dimeric structural scaffold in the radial spoke complex, anchoring through two distinct amphipathic helices (AHs) the RIIa and Dpy-30 domains of four non-PKA spoke proteins involved in spoke assembly and modulation; one AH can bind both RIIa and Dpy-30 domains in vitro. |

LC8 dimers bind in tandem to the N-terminal region of RSP3 in Chlamydomonas, enhance RSP3 binding to axonemes, and are required for efficient radial spoke docking; perturbation of RSP3's LC8-binding sites results in asynchronous flagella with hypophosphorylated RSP3 and defective RSP3-axoneme association; LC8 is absent from the 12S RS precursor but present in axoneme-bound spokes. |

RSPH3 mutations in humans (PCD patients) cause near-complete absence of detectable radial spokes in respiratory cilia combined with central complex defects; RSPH3 protein localizes within respiratory epithelial cilia and is undetectable in airway cells from RSPH3-mutant individuals; despite absence of RSPH3, RS-neck protein RSPH23 and RS-head proteins RSPH1 and RSPH4A remain present in cilia, indicating RSPH3 is specifically required for RS stalk/base assembly but not RS head attachment. |

In Ciona intestinalis, RSP3 co-purifies with Hsp40 and a spoke-head protein homolog (RSP4/6 homolog) as a complex extracted from axonemes; immunoelectron microscopy localizes Hsp40 to the distal portion of the spoke stalk at the junction between spoke head and stalk; a spoke-head protein LRR37 is absent from this complex, indicating the complex constitutes the spoke stalk. |

In vivo IFT imaging in Chlamydomonas shows RSP3 (stalk protein) and RSP4 (head protein) mostly co-migrate on IFT trains; IFT of RSP4 depends on RSP3; during repair of spoke-head-deficient axonemes, RSP4 is added onto pre-existing RSP3-containing stalks with little exchange of RSP3, indicating RSP3 and RSP4 are transported together but separate during spoke repair. |

In Drosophila, dRSPH3 interacts with RSBP15 through RSBP15's DD_R_PKA superfamily domain; RSBP15 co-localizes with dRSPH3 in sperm flagella; loss of RSBP15 causes loss of dRSPH3 (and dRSPH1, dRSPH4a, dRSPH9) from sperm, disrupts the 9+2 axoneme structure, and causes male sterility, indicating RSBP15 stabilizes dRSPH3 to maintain radial spoke complex integrity. |

Drosophila Combover (Cmb) binds to the axonemal component Radial spoke protein 3 (dRsp3); knockdown of dRsp3 causes similar sperm individualization defects as cmb mutants (failure of actin cone synchronous movement along flagella), suggesting Cmb coordinates the individualization machinery with the axoneme via RSP3. |

ARMC2/PF27 is a cargo adapter required for IFT of radial spokes in Chlamydomonas; tagged ARMC2 and RSP3 co-migrate on anterograde IFT trains; in armc2/pf27 mutants, IFT of RSP3 (and radial spokes) is abolished and spokes are limited to the proximal flagellar region; after tip unloading, RSP3 attaches to the axoneme while ARMC2 diffuses back. |

Mouse RSP3 (RSPH3) accumulates at the perinuclear region of CHO and 293T cells; it is not co-localized with ER or Golgi markers; in vivo it localizes to the proximal cytoplasmic dilation of the leading process of migrating cortical neurons; it concentrates in ependymal cilia as a ciliary component; overexpression by in utero electroporation increases the percentage of neurons reaching the upper cortical plate. |

IQUB interacts with RSPH3 (and CEP295NL, GSTM1, ODF1) in the yeast two-hybrid system; in Iqub KO and knockin mice, sperm display radial spoke defects; functional assays suggest IQUB recruits calmodulin to inhibit the activity of an RSPH3/p-ERK1/2 complex (described as a non-typical AKAP), thereby facilitating normal radial spoke assembly. Co-immunoprecipitation confirmed IQUB-RSPH3 interaction in vivo. |

In Chlamydomonas, the ida1 mutation (defective I1/f dynein heavy chain, abolishing I1 dynein assembly) is epistatic to the RSP3 RII-binding domain mutation (388); the 388;ida1 double mutant displays an ida1-like motility phenotype rather than a 388-like phenotype, placing I1 dynein downstream of RSP3's PKA-anchoring function in the signaling pathway regulating ciliary motility. |
