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.

Chapter 4 The Kinesin-3 Family [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The Kinesin-3s are a family of cargo transporters. They typically display highly processive plus-end-directed motion, either as dimers or in teams, formed via interaction with ...

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.

Kinesin-Driven Active Substrate Giving Stochastic Mechanical Stimuli to Cells for Characterization

open access: yes, 2016
We present a new platform to give stochastic mechanical stimuli to cells for their characterization. There nano- and micrometer scaled fluctuations are generated by an engineered motor protein system of kinesin-microtubules (MTs) on a solid surface ...

Bottom‐Up Synthesis and Active Assembly of DNA Networks by Biomolecular Nanomachines

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates a dynamic, bottom‐up assembly of DNA materials driven by two biomolecular nanomachines: DNA polymerase and kinesin. Through sequential chemical synthesis and motor‐driven mechanical manipulation, DNA fibrous networks are dynamically formed with complex morphologies unattainable by self‐assembly alone.

Cryo-EM reveals the structural basis of microtubule depolymerization by kinesin-13s

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Kinesin-13s are microtubule depolymerases that lack motile activity. Here the authors present the cryo-EM structures of kinesin-13 microtubule complexes in different nucleotide bound states, which reveal how ATP hydrolysis is linked to conformational ...
