Speed effects in gliding motility assays due to surface passivation, water isotope, and osmotic stress.

open access: yes, 2010
The molecular motor kinesin-1, an ATPase, and the substrate it walks along, microtubules, are vital components of eukaryotic cells. Kinesin converts chemical energy to linear motion as its two motor domains step along microtubules in a process similar to

Alpha‐Synuclein Promotes Anterograde Vesicle Transport in Melanocytes and Melanoma Cells: A Pro‐Survival Function

open access: yesJournal of the Chinese Chemical Society, EarlyView.
Model for how α‐syn modulates the positioning of endolysosomes in melanoma cells. (a) α‐syn tethers endolysosomes to the plasma membrane, a last step in anterograde transport. (b) Loss of α‐syn expression causes the loss of the tethering function, which leads to perinuclear vesicle clustering. Reproduced from the open access article.

Hydrogen-rich saline injection into the subarachnoid cavity within 2 weeks promotes recovery after acute spinal cord injury

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2015
Hydrogen can relieve tissue-damaging oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis. Injection of hydrogen-rich saline is an effective method for transporting molecular hydrogen.

Robustness of Spontaneous Polarization Through Nonlinear Directional Antagonism Without Global Inhibition

open access: yesJournal of the Chinese Chemical Society, EarlyView.
The conventional “local activation–global inhibition” (LAGI) models utilize mean‐field averaging inhibition to suppress distant activations. As the inhibition diminishes with distance, LAGI models struggle to achieve robust single‐axis polarity in large systems.

Effects of kinesin-5 inhibition on dendritic architecture and microtubule organization

open access: yesMolecular Biology of the Cell, 2015
Kinesin-5 is a slow homotetrameric motor protein best known for its essential role in the mitotic spindle, where it limits the rate at which faster motors can move microtubules. In neurons, experimental suppression of kinesin-5 causes the axon to grow faster by increasing the mobility of microtubules in the axonal shaft and the invasion of microtubules

miR-127 protects proximal tubule cells against ischemia/reperfusion : identification of Kinesin family member 3B as miR-127 target [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is at the basis of renal transplantation and acute kidney injury. Molecular mechanisms underlying proximal tubule response to I/R will allow the identification of new therapeutic targets for both clinical settings.

A moving kinesin motor protein

open access: yes, 2013
Shows two heads of the kinesin dimer work in a coordinated manner to move processively along the track. The coiled coil (gray) extends towards the top and leads up to the kinesin cargo. Each catalytic core (blue) is bound to a tubulin heterodimer (green,

Quantification of Spatial Patterns of Microtubule Transport by Kinesin-1 Head and Tail

open access: yesBio-Protocol
The conventional kinesin-1 is a plus-end-directed microtubule-dependent motor protein with distinct motor head, stalk, and tail domains. Along with the motor head, which binds and walks along microtubules in an adenosine 5’-triphosphate (ATP) dependent ...

Effects of Tributyltin Chloride on Human Neuronal Differentiation and Mice Brain Development

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT According to the developmental origins of health and disease hypothesis, perinatal exposure to an environmental toxicant during the development of the nervous system could cause a permanent cellular modification that may promote the appearance of neurodegenerative diseases at an older age.
