Protein turnover dynamics suggest a diffusion-to-capture mechanism for peri-basal body recruitment and retention of intraflagellar transport proteins.

Intraflagellar transport (IFT) is essential for construction and maintenance of cilia. IFT proteins concentrate at the basal body where they are thought to assemble into trains and bind cargoes for transport. To study the mechanisms of IFT recruitment to this peri-basal body pool, we quantified protein dynamics of eight IFT proteins, as well as five other basal body localizing proteins using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching in vertebrate multiciliated cells. We found that members of the IFT-A and IFT-B protein complexes show distinct turnover kinetics from other basal body components. Additionally, known IFT subcomplexes displayed shared dynamics, suggesting shared basal body recruitment and/or retention mechanisms. Finally, we evaluated the mechanisms of basal body recruitment by depolymerizing cytosolic MTs, which suggested that IFT proteins are recruited to basal bodies through a diffusion-to-capture mechanism. Our survey of IFT protein dynamics provides new insights into IFT recruitment to basal bodies, a crucial step in ciliogenesis and ciliary signaling.
