Gating Ciliary Transport

Dev Cell. 2017 Jul 10;42(1):5-6. doi: 10.1016/j.devcel.2017.06.016.

Abstract

Cilia lack the ability to synthesize proteins and thus require dynamic transport. Reporting in this issue of Developmental Cell, Kanie et al. (2017) shed light on the mechanism of transport by implicating CEP19, which is associated with an autosomal-recessive obesity syndrome when mutated, in the triggering of intraflagellar transport.
