KIF7, the human ortholog of Drosophila COS2, is a kinesin-4 motor protein that binds directly to the plus ends of axonemal microtubules and inhibits their growth in an ATP-dependent manner (He et al, 2014). KIF7 is required for the processing and activity of GLI in the absence of Hh signal, and KIF7 function depends on the primary cilium (Liem et al, 2009; Cheung et al, 2009; Endoh-Yamagami et al, 2009). KIF7 has been shown to bind to GLI3 and to SUFU and may act in part by promoting the transit of the GLI:SUFU complex through the primary cilium, which is required for GLI processing (Endoh-Yamagami et al, 2009; Maurya et al, 2013). How KIF7 itself is localized to the cilia tip is unknown, although localization depends on the KIF7 motor domain (Liem et al, 2009; He et al, 2014). KIF7 localization is further enhanced at the primary cilia tip in response to Hh signaling, as is also the case for GLI2, GLI3 and SUFU (He et al, 2014; Varjosalo et al, 2008; Haycraft et al, 2005; Wen et al, 2010; Qin et al, 2011; Tukachinsky et al, 2010).
