Small-Molecule Control of Kinesin-5 Proteins
Mitosis, or cell division, is the mechanism by which cells divide and is an intricate process requiring the action and control of numerous proteins.

A Chimeric Kinesin-1 Head/Kinesin-5 Tail Motor Switches between Diffusive and Processive Motility
Homotetrameric kinesin-5 motors are essential for chromosome separation and assembly of the mitotic spindle. These kinesins bind between two microtubules (MTs) and slide them apart, toward the spindle poles.

The polarity of microtubules (MTs) determines the motors for intracellular motility, with kinesins moving to plus ends and dynein to minus ends. In elongated cells of Ustilago maydis, dynein is thought to move early endosomes (EEs) toward the septum ...
