Abstrakt: Mutations in retinal primary cilia are responsible for human blindness but the mechanisms are not fully understood (Wheway et al., 2014). Characterizing the proteome of an organelle such as cilia, is a fruitful way to understand its function but methods often require considerable sample quantities. Here we develop a method to isolate the primary cilia of photoreceptor cells from bovine retinas. Through LC/MS/MS proteomics analysis we identify proteins enriched for cilia function including ciliopathy disease. This study shows our method can be used to isolate retinal primary cilia to obtain sufficient quantities of native protein samples.
