The IFT A complex is found in all types of cilia, both primary cilia and motile cilia and is involved in intraciliary retrograde transport (from the base to the tip) within the cilium (PMID:23945166). Note that in the vertebrates, there is a duplication producing TTC21A and TTC21B. TTC21B is experimentally shown in both human and mouse to be present in IFT A, but TTC21A is not experimentally characterized yet (as of 7/29/14). As the MSA looks very good across the whole family, I am propagating annotations from the TTC21B subclade to the root node. Perhaps TTC21A has a specialized localization such as testis, as is commonly seen in other protein families. I did not propagate the annotation to "regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter" to the HUMAN_TTC21B because in looking at the paper, it did not appear to be a very specific effect. In addition, this has not been experimentally observed in any other species. # REFERENCE Annotation inferences using phylogenetic trees The goal of the GO Reference Genome Project, described in PMID 19578431, is to provide accurate, complete and consistent GO annotations for all genes in twelve model organism genomes. To this end, GO curators are annotating evolutionary trees from the PANTHER database with GO terms describing molecular function, biological process and cellular component. GO terms based on experimental data from the scientific literature are used to annotate ancestral genes in the phylogenetic tree by sequence similarity (ISS), and unannotated descendants of these ancestral genes are inferred to have inherited these same GO annotations by descent. The annotations are done using a tool called PAINT (Phylogenetic Annotation and INference Tool).
