Some kinesin motors (Kinesin-8 and Kinesin-14 families) can both walk along and destabilize microtubules ... end-directed transport by cytoplasmic dynein 158. Lipid droplets are energy storage ...

Within a cell, microtubules span from the nucleus to the cell membrane, and the motor protein kinesin “walks” along them, carrying cargo from one area of the cell to another. However, this system can ...

In eukaryotes, segregation of duplicated chromosomes is performed by the mitotic spindle, a cellular machine composed of microtubules and their associated proteins ... Recent projects have focused on ...

This article shows that a cytoplasmic dynein component is present at the kinetichore at least in prometaphase. Because the microtubules in the spindle are oriented with their minus ends at the pole ...
