Abstract excerpt
A microtubule-dependent motility process called intraflagellar transport (IFT) occurs beneath the plasma membrane of cilia and flagella. IFT was first observed in Chlamydomonas, and orthologs of some of the polypeptides involved in IFT have recently been identified in other organisms, including C. elegans and the mouse. In addition to a role in the assembly and maintenance of cilia and flagella, evidence is...
