Figure 5. Diverse roles of cytoplasmic actin cytoskeleton in each stage of the ciliary life cycle.

Figure 5.

Cellular actin and myosins mediate accumulation and fusion of vesicles at the PPC to form the ciliary vesicle (CV), basal body migration and docking at the apical surface, ciliary function and length maintenance, and disassembly. Ciliary signaling also regulates canonical functions of cytoplasmic actin, such as reorganization of actin and focal adhesions in cell migration.
