  • a calponin-homology domain within the IFT81 N-terminus and the highly basic N-terminus of IFT74 form a module for IFT of tubulin ( , and N terminus of IFT74 may be involved in, but is not required for, tubulin entry into flagella, but is required for association of IFT-A and IFT-B at the base of the flagellum and flagellar import of IFT-A

    basic FUNCTION
  • serves potentially as a transcriptional regulator of proliferation and adhesion-associated genes in early stage male germ-line cells in the testis
  • two core IFT proteins IFT74 and IFT81 form a tubulin-binding module
  • together, the IFT81 and IFT74 N-termini are crucial for flagellar assembly, and are likely to function as the main module for IFT of tubulin
  • may be a potential genetic factor affecting male reproduction in man

    protein
  • IFT52 binds directly to four other IFT-B subunits, IFT81/74/27/HSPB11
  • IFT74 and IFT81 interact directly through central and C-terminal coiled-coil domains, and the N termini of these proteins form a tubulin-binding module important for ciliogenesis
  • together, the IFT81 and IFT74 N-termini are crucial for flagellar assembly, and are likely to function as the main module for IFT of tubulin
