BBSome

The BBSome is a component of the basal body and is involved in formation of the primary cilium. The BBSome is a complex of seven Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS) proteins: BBS1, BBS2, BBS4, BBS5, BBS7, BBS8 and BBS9. In addition the BBSome contains the BBIP10 protein. The BBSome was first identified in 2007 by Peter K. Jackson and colleagues.

Assembly
BBSome assembly has been shown to be mediated by a complex containing a further three BBS proteins: BBS6, BBS10 and BBS12. In addition chaperonins of the CCT/TRiC family are involved.
