The authors demonstrate using both in vitro and in vivo studies that mutations in Cos2 homologs have little unique effect on Shh signaling. This result, in conjunction with mutations in IFT and the primary cilia, suggests the cilia serves an analogous function.

The authors use new antibodies that detect endogenous Smo and Ptch and demonstrate that movement of Smo and Ptch into the cilia is a crucial step in pathway regulation. They further show that oxysterols, Shh, and the Smo agonist SAG may affect Ptch and Smo trafficking differently.

This work identifies the hennin mutation as a defect in the small GTPase Arl13b. Of interest is the relatively normal Gli3 repressor formation with abnormal Gli2 activator accumulation, suggesting that the two processes can be separated.

A core complex of BBS proteins cooperates with the GTPase Rab8 to promote ciliary membrane biogenesis. Cell 129 (2007) 1201-1213. The authors purify proteins of the Bardet-Biedl Syndrome and show they form a tight complex in vitro. Moreover, they show that Rab8 and the Rab8GEF Rabin8 are components of the BBsome and required for ciliary membrane biogenesis. Finally, they identify BBS5 as a phospholipid-binding protein, linking the BBsome to the membrane.
