Where this comes from

Abstract

The assembly and signaling properties of cilia rely on intraflagellar transport (IFT) trains moving proteins into, within, and out of cilia. A flurry of near-atomic models of the multiprotein complexes that make up IFT trains has revealed new conformational changes, which may underlie the switch between anterograde and retrograde intraflagellar transport.
