Structures of kinesin and kinesin–microtubule interactions

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1999
Several X-ray crystal structures of kinesin motor domains have recently been solved at high resolution ( approximately 0.2-0.3 nm), in both their monomeric and dimeric states. They show the folding of the polypeptide chain and different arrangements of subunits in the dimer.

Kinesin's moonwalk

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2006
Kinesin-1 is a single-molecule walking machine, driven by ATP turnover. Recent optical trapping experiments show that pulling backwards on a walking kinesin-1 molecule causes the mechanical walking action to reverse, while the coupled chemical cycle of ATP turnover continues, apparently, to run forwards -- kinesin can moonwalk.

Kinesins and cancer

Nature Reviews Cancer, 2012
Kinesins are a family of molecular motors that travel unidirectionally along microtubule tracks to fulfil their many roles in intracellular transport or cell division. Over the past few years kinesins that are involved in mitosis have emerged as potential targets for cancer drug development.

Kinesin-5 Inhibitor Resistance Is Driven by Kinesin-12 [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 2016
The microtubule (MT) cytoskeleton bipolarizes at the onset of mitosis to form the spindle. In animal cells, the kinesin-5 Eg5 primarily drives this reorganization by actively sliding MTs apart. Its primacy during spindle assembly renders Eg5 essential for mitotic progression, demonstrated by the lethal effects of kinesin-5/Eg5 inhibitors (K5Is ...

Kinesin backsteps

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2012
Kinesin-1 is a walking machine that takes ~8 nm steps along microtubules. Some aspects of the molecular mechanism of walking are now clear, but many are not. In the present paper, we discuss currently controversial points, focusing on the pathways by which kinesin takes occasional backsteps.
