ift-43 (Q9BIA4, C25H3.12) notes

Provenance and process

• Accession: Q9BIA4 (Swiss-Prot, 200 aa, IFT43 ortholog).
• Deep research: falcon timed out and the perplexity-lite fallback is unavailable. No deep-research file was written. PubMed has only one worm primary paper on ift-43 (PMID:28479320, abstract-only in cache).

Key findings

• IFT-A subunit; acts redundantly with IFT-139 PMID:28479320.
• Single mutant has normal cilia; the double with ift-139 is defective (UniProt DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE, from PMID:28479320).
• Needed to remove periciliary membrane proteins from cilia PMID:30293716.

Curation decisions

• 5 GOA rows, all ACCEPT. There is no IBA for this gene in GOA.
• No NEW rows; the evidence is abstract-level only.
