This study uses tagged tubulin to show that Trypanosoma brucei restricts microtubule assembly to the new flagellum during duplication but allows transient reassembly in mature flagella after cell division.

This study identifies KIF14 as a non-canonical kinesin-3 motor that regulates intraflagellar transport in primary cilia by interacting with its motor domain and C-terminal CC1 domain.

This study shows that tubulin tyrosination/detyrosination governs the spatial segregation of IFT trains on ciliary microtubules, preventing traffic jams.
