These results indicate that eliminating Kif3a Thr674 phosphorylation by Cilk1 is insufficient to reproduce the severe developmental defects in ciliopathies caused by Cilk1 loss of function. This suggests KIF3A-Thr672 phosphorylation by CILK1 is not essential for tissue development and other substrates are involved in CILK1 ciliopathies.
