Abstract

The mechanism by which cells control the size of organelles is a fundamental question in cell biology. Eukaryotic cilia and flagella are microtubule-based organelles whose relatively simple structure makes them ideal for investigating the mechanisms of size regulation. Flagella are constructed and maintained via an active transport process called intraflagellar transport (IFT). Since no protein synthesis occurs in the flagellum, new materials must be injected into the flagellum by a process called IFT injection.
