IFT57 stabilizes the assembled intraflagellar transport complex and mediates transport of motility-related flagellar cargo.
Intraflagellar transport (IFT) is essential for the assembly and maintenance of flagella and cilia. Recent biochemical studies have shown that IFT complex B (IFT-B) is comprised of two subcomplexes, IFT-B1 and IFT-B2. The IFT-B2 subunit IFT57 lies at the interface between IFT-B1 and IFT-B2. Here, using a Chlamydomonasreinhardtii mutant for IFT57, we tested whether IFT57 is required for IFT-B co...
متن کاملA Role for Intraflagellar Transport Proteins in Mitosis: A Dissertation
Disruption of cilia proteins results in a range of disorders called ciliopathies. However, the mechanism by which cilia dysfunction contributes to disease is not well understood. Intraflagellar transport (IFT) proteins are required for ciliogenesis. They carry ciliary cargo along the microtubule axoneme while riding microtubule motors. Interestingly, IFT proteins localize to spindle poles in no...
متن کاملThe intraflagellar transport protein IFT57 is required for cilia maintenance and regulates IFT-particle-kinesin-II dissociation in vertebrate photoreceptors.
Defects in protein transport within vertebrate photoreceptors can result in photoreceptor degeneration. In developing and mature photoreceptors, proteins targeted to the outer segment are transported through the connecting cilium via the process of intraflagellar transport (IFT). In studies of vertebrate IFT, mutations in any component of the IFT particle typically abolish ciliogenesis, suggest...
متن کاملThe role of cortical orientation in the control of the direction of ciliary beat in Paramecium
The swimming behavior of many ciliate protozoans depends on graded changes in the direction of the ciliary effective stroke in response to depolarizing stimuli (i.e., the avoiding reaction of Paramecium). We investigated the problem of whether the directional response of cilia with a variable plane of beat is related to the polarity of the cell as a whole or to the orientation of the cortical s...
متن کاملUneven distribution of surface antigens during antigenic variation in Paramecium primaurelia
In Paramecium primaurelia surface antigen (SAg) expression can be experimentally controlled by temperature-shift-induced antigenic variation. As only one SAg is usually expressed at the cell surface under stable environmental conditions, we used the temperature-shift-induced change in SAg to follow the newly expressed antigen and the disappearing one, by both immunofluorescence and immunogold e...
