This study identifies Cfap410a as a novel component of the Drosophila ciliary transition zone and shows its cooperative function with Cby in TZ assembly, with tissue-specific requirements.

This study shows that the centrosome-derived basal body maintains and repairs mature olfactory cilia in adult Drosophila through dynamic protein exchange and kinase activity, with reversible defects observed upon disruption.

The paper shows that EB1 surges drive tubulin influx into the outer segments of Drosophila olfactory cilia, promoting cilia growth and stability.

The paper investigates the function of Cwf23 in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, showing that its RNA-binding RRM and J-domain are essential for spliceosomal disassembly in intron-rich eukaryotes.
