This elegant study by Jin et al. provides compelling evidence that the BBSome complex of Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) proteins forms a coat that is recruited to membranes by the BBS protein and small GTPase Arl6/BBS3.
Using biochemical purification, the authors show that GTP-bound Arl6 binds the BBSome, and specifically BBS1. Both...
