Axonal transport and neurological disease [PDF]

Nature Reviews Neurology, 2019
Axonal transport is the process whereby motor proteins actively navigate microtubules to deliver diverse cargoes, such as organelles, from one end of the axon to the other, and is widely regarded as essential for nerve development, function and survival.

BCS1L‐Associated Disease: 5′‐UTR Variant Shifts the Phenotype Towards Axonal Neuropathy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To investigate the consequences of a pathogenic missense variant (c.838C>T; p.L280F) and a 5′‐UTR regulatory variant (c.‐122G>T) in BCS1L on disease pathogenesis and to understand how regulatory variants influence disease severity and clinical presentation.

Successful use of axonal transport for drug delivery by synthetic molecular vehicles [PDF]

, 2008
We report the use of axonal transport to achieve intraneural drug delivery. We constructed a novel tripartite complex of an axonal transport facilitator conjugated to a linker molecule bearing up to a hundred reversibly attached drug molecules.

Axonal transport and neurodegenerative disease

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 2006
Neurons have extensive processes and communication between those processes and the cell body is crucial to neuronal function and survival. Thus, neurons are uniquely dependent on microtubule based transport. Growing evidence supports the idea that deficits in axonal transport contribute to pathogenesis in multiple neurodegenerative diseases.

Discovery and Treatment of Action Potential‐Independent Myotonia in Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (hyperKPP) is characterized by attacks of transient weakness. A subset of hyperKPP patients suffers from transient involuntary contraction of muscle (myotonia). The goal of this study was to determine mechanisms causing myotonia in hyperKPP.

MAPping out distribution routes for kinesin couriers [PDF]

, 2013
In the crowded environment of eukaryotic cells, diffusion is an inefficient distribution mechanism for cellular components. Long-distance active transport is required and is performed by molecular motors including kinesins.

Tau interferes with axonal neurite stabilization and cytoskeletal composition independently of its ability to associate with microtubules

Biology Open, 2020
Tau impacts overall axonal transport particularly when overexpressed by interfering with translocation of kinesin along microtubules (MTs) and/or as a cargo of kinesin by outcompeting other kinesin cargo.
