The BBSome is a complex of 8 conserved proteins with roles in ciliary trafficking (Nachury et al, 2007; Loktev et al, 2008; reviewed in Nachury et al, 2010; Hsiao et al, 2012). Mutations in the BBS genes leads to Bardet-Biedl syndrome, a heterogeneous ciliopathy characterized by obesity, blindness, cystic kidney disease, retinitis pigmentosa, polydactyly, mental retardation, and renal failure in some cases (reviewed in Tobin and Beales, 2009). The BBSome is the primary effector of ARL6/BBS3, a small GTPase that recruits the BBSome and associated membrane proteins destined for the cilium to membranes (Jin et al, 2010; Nachury et al, 2007; Zhang et al, 2011; Seo et al 2011). The BBSome also interacts with the RAB8A guanine nucleotide exchange factor RAB3IP, and in this way promotes the recruitment of RAB8A to the cilium (Nachury et al, 2007). Components of the BBSome are enriched in beta propeller and TPR domains and have been shown to form linear arrays on liposomes (Jin et al, 2010). Where these arrays form, and how they contribute to ciliary targeting remains to be elucidated (Jin et al, 2010; reviewed in Nachury et al, 2010).

In mammalian cells, formation of the BBSome depends on a BBS/CCT complex that consists of MKKS/BBS6, BBS10, BBS12 and 6 members of the CCT/TRiC family of chaperonins. The BBS/CCT complex interacts with a subset of the BBSome protein and plays a role in the BBS7 stability, promoting the formation of an intermediate "BBSome core complex" (Seo et al, 2010; Jin et al, 2010; Zhang el al, 2012).
