Disruption of Four Kinesin Genes in Dictyostelium

BMC Cell Biology, 2008
Background Kinesin and dynein are the two families of microtubule-based motors that drive much of the intracellular movements in eukaryotic cells. Using a gene knockout strategy, we address here the individual function(s) of four of the 13 kinesin ...

Molecular and Cell Biological Characterization of Patient‐Derived Head and Neck Squamous Carcinoma Cell Lines

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Patient‐derived head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cells were genomically and cytogenetically characterized, revealing actionable alterations and chromosomal instability. Targeted therapies suppressed growth according to EGFR amplification or PIK3CA mutation status.

IFT cargo and motors associate sequentially with IFT trains to enter cilia of C. elegans

Nature Communications
Intraflagellar transport (IFT) orchestrates entry of proteins into primary cilia. At the ciliary base, assembled IFT trains, driven by kinesin-2 motors, can transport cargo proteins into the cilium, across the crowded transition zone. How trains assemble

Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) Single-Molecule Assay to Analyze the Motility of Kinesin

Bio-Protocol
The motile parameters of kinesin superfamily proteins are fundamental to intracellular transport. Single-molecule motility assays using total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy are a gold standard technique for measuring the motile ...

Membrane‐type I metalloproteinase (MT1‐MMP): A key modifier of extracellular matrix microenvironment

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
MT1‐MMP: A cellular microenvironment modifier. MT1‐MMP is a major cellular microenvironment modifier, maintaining collagen homeostasis by degrading excess collagen (A), creating a migration path in motile cells such as cancer cells (B), modulating local microenvironmental signaling by cleaving transmembrane receptors (C), and destroying tissue ...

Chromosome 20q Amplification Regulates in Vitro Response to Kinesin-5 Inhibitor

Cancer Informatics, 2008
We identified gene expression signatures predicting responsiveness to a Kinesin-5 (KIF11) inhibitor (Kinesin-5i) in cultured colon tumor cell lines.

Hypoxia and the cytoskeleton

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic outlining the activation of hypoxia‐sensitive pathways, the influence of hypoxia and associated pathways on the cytoskeleton, and the impact of these on disease progression. Abstract A highly‐regulated and dynamic cytoskeleton is vital for functional cellular physiology and the maintenance of homeostasis.

High-resolution structures of kinesin on microtubules provide a basis for nucleotide-gated force-generation

eLife, 2014
Microtubule-based transport by the kinesin motors, powered by ATP hydrolysis, is essential for a wide range of vital processes in eukaryotes. We obtained insight into this process by developing atomic models for no-nucleotide and ATP states of the ...

Coordinated regulation of PIEZO2 by alternative splicing, post‐translational modification, membrane trafficking and protein partners

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Regulatory mechanisms such as alternative splicing, post‐translational modification, membrane trafficking, and protein interactions control channel gating, membrane abundance, and overall activity of PIEZO2. Proper regulation supports PIEZO2‐dependent proprioceptive, somatosensory, nociceptive, pruriceptive and interoceptive ...
