Heterozygous KIF11 leads to alterations in cilia dynamics and length. (a) Asynchronously growing wild type (WT) RPE1 and heterozygous crKIF11 cells were fixed and probed with α-Arl13b (red), α-Cep135 (red), and the DNA was counter-stained with Hoechst (blue). Percentage of ciliated cells was calculated for each condition and graphed (n = 3 biological replicates for WT RPE1 and crKIF11-1 with 90–100 cells counted per n, n = 2 biological replicates for crKIF11-2 with 90–100 cells counted per n). Data analyzed by Student’s t-test. Error bars represent standard deviation. Median and quartiles denoted by dashed lines in violin plots. Representative images for each condition are shown in the image panels. (b) Cilium length was measured for each condition and graphed (n = 3 biological replicates with 20–30 cells counted per n). Data analyzed using a Student’s t-test. Error bars represent standard deviation. Representative images for each condition are shown in the image panels.
