The conserved CCRK, RCK, and CDKL5 kinases regulate cilia length in diverse organisms. In C. elegans , DYF-18 CCRK regulates DYF-5 RCK to shape both simple and complex cilia morphologies. The CDKL5 ortholog CDKL-1 has also been suggested to act downstream of DYF-18 but independently of DYF-5 to regulate lengths of simple rod-like cilia. Here we show that CDKL-1 is largely dispensable for regulation of complex cilia structures. Using genetic epistasis experiments, we confirm that CDKL-1 and DYF-5 act independently to control cilia architecture. Our results indicate that multiple kinases act via distinct pathways to regulate unique cilia ultrastructures.
