BBSome found to block 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 reports a role for the BBSome, a protein complex linked to Bardet-Biedl syndrome, in restricting the entry of non-ciliary proteins into cilia. The finding clarifies how cells control the composition of these antenna-like structures, with implications for understanding ciliopathies and related genetic disorders.
Why now: A newly published Nature study on a key mechanism of cilia protein selectivity is drawing attention in cell biology.
