Plant cells form acentrosomal spindles with microtubules (MTs) converged toward two structurally undefined poles by employing MT minus end-directed Kinesin-14 motors. To date, it is unclear whether ...

Particularly, we are interested in how the distinct motors myosin, dynein and kinesin coordinate to transfer the endosome smoothly from the actin to the microtubule network, ensuring precise ...

There are a significant number of words, phrases and acronyms that appear when talking about race and ethnicity which often change depending on the context of the conversation. Language is ...

Our laboratory studies kinesin and dynein, the two types of motors that move along microtubule tracks. The mechanism of kinesin is reasonably well understood through measurements of its single ...

Microtubules are cylindrical polymers composed of alpha and beta tubulin. They are a major component of the cytoskeleton and mediate crucial cellular functions including formation of the mitotic ...

This study offers important insights into KIF1A-associated neurological disorder (KAND), a group of neurological disorders connected to KIF1A, a microtubule-based motor protein responsible for axonal ...

Presynaptic protein transport by kinesin motors in particular plays important roles during synaptogenesis to bring newly synthesized proteins to establish nascent synaptic sites. Conversely, movement ...
