Open sesame: how transition fibers and the transition zone control ciliary composition

FR Garcia-Gonzalo, JF Reiter - Cold Spring Harbor …, 2017 - cshperspectives.cshlp.org
Cilia are plasma membrane protrusions that act as cellular propellers or antennae. To
perform these functions, cilia must maintain a composition distinct from those of the …

Vertebrate hedgehog signaling is coordinated by the differential localization of the receptors
patched-1 and Smoothened in the primary cilium. Cilia assembly is mediated by …

The molecular machines that traffic signaling receptors into and out of cilia

MV Nachury - Current opinion in cell biology, 2018 - Elsevier
Cilia are surface-exposed organelles that dynamically concentrate signaling molecules to
organize sensory, developmental and homeostatic pathways. Entry and exit of signaling …

How the ciliary membrane is organized inside-out to communicate outside-in

G Garcia, DR Raleigh, JF Reiter - Current Biology, 2018 - cell.com
Cilia, organelles that move to execute functions like fertilization and signal to execute
functions like photoreception and embryonic patterning, are composed of a core of nine-fold …

Scoring a backstage pass: mechanisms of ciliogenesis and ciliary access

FR Garcia-Gonzalo, JF Reiter - Journal of Cell Biology, 2012 - rupress.org
Cilia are conserved, microtubule-based cell surface projections that emanate from basal
bodies, membrane-docked centrioles. The beating of motile cilia and flagella enables cells …
