Kin5 knockdown in Tetrahymena thermophila using RNAi blocks cargo transport of Gef1.

A critical process that builds and maintains the eukaryotic cilium is intraflagellar transport (IFT). This process utilizes members of the kinesin-2 superfamily to transport cargo into the cilium (anterograde transport) and a dynein motor for the retrograde traffic. Using a novel RNAi knockdown meth...
