Abstract excerpt
Bidirectional protein trafficking within cilia is mediated by the intraflagellar transport (IFT) machinery, which contains the IFT-A and IFT-B complexes powered by the kinesin-2 and dynein-2 motors. Mutations in genes encoding subunits of the IFT-A and dynein-2 complexes cause skeletal ciliopathies. Some subunits of the IFT-B complex, including IFT52, IFT80, and IFT172, are also mutated in skeletal ciliopathies....
