Figure 7. Models for CPLANE function and structure(a) Schematic of normal IFT. Peripheral proteins are assembled onto the IFT-A core in the cytoplasm and injected together with IFT-B for bi-direction transport in axonemes. (b) In the absence of CPLANE, IFT-A core particles lacking peripheral proteins are injected into axonemes and traffic normally; IFT-B enters axonemes but fails to move in a retrograde direction and accumulates.
