Top: lf5 mutant cells untransformed, or expressing CDKL5-GFP, CDKL5K33R-GFP, CDKL5S162A,T164A,Y166A-GFP, or CDKL5Y166F-GFP, and lf2 mutant cells expressing CDKL5-GFP were stained for flagella (acetylated tubulin, red) and CDKL5 (GFP, green top panels, gray in bottom panels). The cell bodies of all strains are green (or gray) due to autofluorescence. Wild-type CDKL5-GFP concentrates at the basal end of the flagellar shaft (arrows). Note that all of the mutant CDKL5 proteins lack the major enrichment at the basal end of the flagellum but continue to show punctate stain along the flagellar shaft. Scale bar, 5 Β΅m. Z projection of slices taken at 0.5-Β΅m intervals. Bottom: Larger version of the first image in the top row.

Dynein-2 prefers to bind the retrograde-targeted A-tubule in intraflagellar transport - likely because of its tyrosination, suggest cryo-ET data and MD simulations by @ichikawa-lab.bsky.social and coworkers

Thrilled to share "in situ APEX activation" (iAPEX), a proximity labeling technology for subcellular #proteomics applied to primary #cilia. iAPEX uses an enzymatic cascade, in which a D-amino acid oxidase locally produces H2O2 to activate ascorbate peroxidase.

And, we hope that even the most ardent fans of other organelles can agree that cilia are certainly beautiful to image!
