Protein turnover dynamics suggest a diffusion-to-capture mechanism for peri-basal body recruitment and retention of intraflagellar transport proteins

Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching of intraflagellar transport (IFT) proteins in a vertebrate reveals distinct subcomplex dynamics in the peri-basal body pool. Peri-basal body IFT dynamics are not changed during cilia regeneration. Cytosolic microtubules are dispensable for IFT recruitment and retention in the peri-basal body pool.
