PLoS ONE. 2012;7:e34389 pubmed publisher..Consistent with these findings, knockdown of Bbs9 in mouse IMCD3 cells results in the absence of cilia. Our studies suggest a key conserved role of BBS9 in biogenesis and/or function of cilia in zebrafish and mammals. ..

J Biol Chem. 2017;292:1351-1360 pubmed publisher..Collectively, our findings reveal the cell cycle-dependent regulation of BBSome transport to the CS and highlight a potential mechanism that the BBSome-mediated signaling pathways are accordingly regulated during the cell cycle. ..
