BBSome found to bar non-ciliary proteins from entering cilia

Original: A role for the BBSome in restricting the entry of non-ciliary proteins into cilia

A study published in Nature describes a role for the BBSome, a protein complex linked to Bardet-Biedl syndrome, in restricting which proteins can enter cilia. The findings clarify how cells maintain the distinct composition of these sensory organelles, and researchers studying ciliary trafficking and ciliopathies are likely to take interest.

Why now: A new Nature paper advances understanding of how cilia regulate protein entry, a topic of interest in cell biology and genetic disease research.
