Functional category

• Ciliary assembly/disassembly
• Trafficking (BBSome, small GTPases, vesicular transport, ATPases)
• Viral interactions

Function

Multiple components of translation machinery are present in the cilia of RG, including ribosome components, RPS23 and RPL19, and translation factors, EIF3C, EEF2 and EEF1G. Immunostaining confirms ribosome components and translation factors in primary cilia of embryonic radial glia (RPS23, RPL19, EIF3C, EEF2, EEF1G; RPL23A at the ciliary base) and in NIH3T3 cilia (RPS3, RPL11, RPL10A) (Liu et al., 2026, Cell Rep, PMID 42105234).
