Architecture of distal tips of motile cilia is shaped by the pseudoenzyme Jhc1 in non-mammalian vertebrates.
A previously uncharacterized ciliary protein Jhc1 is described, localizing at the extreme distal tip of multiciliated cell (MCC) cilia and encoded only in the genomes of non-mammalian vertebrates.
