This biology image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “IFTcilia.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
This biology image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation, please tag this image with {{Convert to SVG}} instead of {{BadJPEG}}. If not suitable for vectorisation, use {{Convert to PNG}}.

Summary
DescriptionIFTcilia.jpg
English: Intraflagellar transport in C. elegans. Components of the IFT machinery and ciliary cargo assemble at or near the transition zone (basal body). Two kinesins, heterotrimeric kinesin-II and homodimeric OSM-3-kinesin, separately bind IFT particle subcomplexes A and B, respectively, and transport these together with IFT-dynein and cargo along the middle segment in the anterograde (+) direction. In the distal segment, OSM-3-kinesin alone transports the IFT particles and dynein/cargo. BBS proteins act to stabilize the association between the motors and IFT particle subcomplexes A and B. Components of the IFT machinery and presumably other ciliary molecules are recycled back to the base of the cilium using the IFT-dynein molecular motor. The lengths of the transition zone (1 μm), middle segment (4 μm) and distal segment (2.5 μm) regions are shown (for amphid cilia) along with transverse view schematics of the microtubule arrangements (on top)
Español: Transporte intraflagelar (IFT) en C. elegans Los componentes de la maquinaria IFT y su carga se ensamblan en la zona de transición o en sus proximidades (cuerpo basal). Dos kinesinas (kinesina-II heterotrimérica y kinesina OSM-3 heterodimérica) se unen por separados a los subcomplejos A y B de la partícula IFT y la transportan junto con la dineína Ib y la carga a lo largo del sermento medio en dirección anterógrada (+). En el segmento distal, la kinesina OSM-3 transporta en solitario las partículas IFT junto con la dineína 1b y su carga. Las proteínas BBS (BBSoma) actúan estabilizando la asociación entre los motores y los subcomplejos A y B de la partícula IFT. Los componentes de la maquinaria IFT y posiblemente otras moléculas del cilio son recicladas y enviadas de vuelta a la base del cilio utilizando un motor molecular basado en la dineína 1b. Se muestra las longitudes de la zona de transición (1 μm), segmento medio (4 μm) y segmento distal (2.5 μm) de un cilio de un sensor ánfido del nematodo en un esquema del corte transversal de la disposición de los microtúbulos (parte superior)
