Recycling of kinesin-1 motors by diffusion after transport. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Kinesin motors drive the long-distance anterograde transport of cellular components along microtubule tracks. Kinesin-dependent transport plays a critical role in neurogenesis and neuronal function due to the large distance separating the soma and nerve ...

Electrostatically biased binding of kinesin to microtubules. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2011 The minimum motor domain of kinesin-1 is a single head. Recent evidence suggests that such minimal motor domains generate force by a biased binding mechanism, in which they preferentially select binding sites on the microtubule that lie ahead in the ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2004 We have identified dimeric kinesin mutants that become stalled on the microtubule after one ATP turnover, unable to bind and hydrolyze ATP at their second site. We have used these mutants to determine the regulatory signal that allows ATP to bind to the forward head, such that processive movement can continue.

Comprehensive structural model of the mechanochemical cycle of a mitotic motor highlights molecular adaptations in the kinesin family [PDF]
, 2014 Kinesins are responsible for a wide variety of microtubule-based, ATP-dependent functions. Their motor domain drives these activities but the molecular adaptations that specify these diverse and essential cellular activities are poorly understood.

Kinesins in spermatogenesis†[PDF]
Biology of Reproduction, 2017 Kinesins are essential for the proper function of many types of polar cells, including epithelial cells, neurons, and sperm. Spermatogenesis is closely associated with many different kinesins. These kinesins participate in several fundamental processes, including mitotic and meiotic division, essential organelle transport, and the biogenesis of ...

Kinesin Light Chains Are Essential for Axonal Transport in Drosophila [PDF]
, 1998 Kinesin is a heterotetramer composed of two 115-kD heavy chains and two 58-kD light chains. The microtubule motor activity of kinesin is performed by the heavy chains, but the functions of the light chains are poorly understood.

Microtubule-regulating kinesins [PDF]
Current Biology, 2013 Kinesins can regulate microtubule dynamics? The conventional function of kinesins, much like a molecular freight train, is to transport cargo by motoring along a microtubule (MT) track. But there exists another class of kinesins whose job relates more to track maintenance than transportation.

Cell Reports, 2019 Summary: The motor protein kinesin-1 plays an important role in polarized sorting of transport vesicles to the axon. However, the mechanism by which the axonal entry of kinesin-1-dependent cargo transport is regulated remains unclear.
