Scientists discovered how a light-sensitive protein in green algae gets shuttled to specific locations inside the cell — findings that could improve how researchers use light to control biological processes in living systems.
1
Chlamyopsin5 localizes primarily to the eyespot and its trafficking is independent of the IFT (intraflagellar transport) machinery
2
Chlamyopsin6 localizes to both the flagella and eyespot, and its delivery to the flagella requires the IFT transport system
3
IFT88 and IFT52 stabilize Chlamyopsin6 protein turnover, while IFT20 physically interacts with Chlamyopsin6
