The N-terminus of IFT46 mediates intraflagellar transport of outer arm dynein and its cargo-adaptor ODA16
Cilia are assembled via intraflagellar transport (IFT). The IFT machinery is composed of motors and multisubunit particles, termed IFT-A and IFT-B, that carry cargo into the cilium. Knowledge of how the IFT subunits interact with their cargo is of critical importance for understanding how the unique...

description | Cilia are assembled via intraflagellar transport (IFT). The IFT machinery is composed of motors and multisubunit particles, termed IFT-A and IFT-B, that carry cargo into the cilium. Knowledge of how the IFT subunits interact with their cargo is of critical importance for understanding how the unique ciliary domain is established. We previously reported a Chlamydomonas mutant, ift46-1, that fails to express the IFT-B protein IFT46, has greatly reduced levels of other IFT-B proteins, and assembles only very short flagella. A spontaneous suppression of ift46-1 restored IFT-B levels and enabled growth of longer flagella, but the flagella lacked outer dynein arms. Here we show that the suppression is due to insertion of the transposon MRC1 into the ift46-1 allele, causing the expression of a fusion protein including the IFT46 C-terminal 240 amino acids. The IFT46 C-terminus can assemble into and stabilize IFT-B but does not support transport of outer arm dynein into flagella. ODA16, a cargo adaptor specific for outer arm dynein, also fails to be imported into the flagella in the absence of the IFT46 N-terminus. We conclude that the IFT46 N-terminus, ODA16, and outer arm dynein interact for IFT of the latter. |
