Probing Cilia-Associated Signaling Proteomes in Animal Evolution

Dev Cell. 2017 Dec 18;43(6):653-655. doi: 10.1016/j.devcel.2017.12.009.

Abstract

Cilia have evolved to function as essential sensory organelles in animals. To understand why cilia are intimately associated with cell signaling, Sigg et al. (2017) develop and apply a comparative proteomics approach, reported in this issue of Developmental Cell, to analyze the evolutionary relationship between cilia and various signaling pathways.
