Intermine data mining platform for C. elegans and related nematodes

Expression Pattern :

Primary Identifier  Expr3699 Subcellular Localization  Existing functional GFP-tagged BBS-8 fusion proteins were used. Fluorescent BBS-8 puncta all moved anterogradely along the full length of wild-type sensory cilia: first along the middle segments at 0.7 microm per second, intermediate between kinesin-II and OSM-3 kinesin motor activity, then accelerating to 1.3 microm per second, along the distal segment, characteristic of the OSM-3 kinesin motor alone. These two transport rates are identical to those of other IFT particle components, indicating that BBS-8 dock onto IFT particles that are moved by the coordinate action of kinesin-II and OSM-3 kinesin.
