Abstract excerpt
Cytoplasmic Dynein-2 / IFT-dynein is the only known retrograde motor for intraflagellar transport. Dysfunction of the two intermediate dynein chains WDR34 and WDR60 causes Short Rib Thoracic Dystrophy (SRTD), a human skeletal chondrodysplasias with high lethality. However, individual protein functions are incompletely understood as complete loss of function of WDR34 or WDR60 is lethal in vertebrates and...
