Motor generated torque drives coupled yawing and orbital rotations of kinesin coated gold nanorods
Communications Biology, 2022 In vitro kinesin-coated gold nanorod (kinesin-GNRs) assays reveal that torque drives both rolling and yawing of kinesin-GNRs translocating along the microtubule axis with possible relevance to intracellular transport.

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.

Kinesin as an Electrostatic Machine [PDF]
Journal of Biological Physics, 2006 Kinesin and related motor proteins utilize ATP fuel to propel themselves along the external surface of microtubules in a processive and directional fashion. We show that the observed step-like motion is possible through time varying charge distributions furnished by the ATP hydrolysis circle while the static charge configuration on the microtuble ...

Nucleotide specificity of the enzymatic and motile activities of dynein, kinesin, and heavy meromyosin. [PDF]
, 1991 The substrate specificities of dynein, kinesin, and myosin substrate turnover activity and cytoskeletal filament-driven translocation were examined using 15 ATP analogues.

On the Origin of Kinesin Limping [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2009 Kinesin is a dimeric motor with twin catalytic heads joined to a common stalk. Kinesin molecules move processively along microtubules in a hand-over-hand walk, with the two heads advancing alternately. Recombinant kinesin constructs with short stalks have been found to "limp", i.e., exhibit alternation in the dwell times of successive steps.

Kinesin-3 motors are fine-tuned at the molecular level to endow distinct mechanical outputs
BMC Biology, 2022 Background Kinesin-3 family motors drive diverse cellular processes and have significant clinical importance. The ATPase cycle is integral to the processive motility of kinesin motors to drive long-distance intracellular transport.

The preprophase band-associated kinesin-14 OsKCH2 is a processive minus-end-directed microtubule motor. [PDF]
, 2018 In animals and fungi, cytoplasmic dynein is a processive minus-end-directed motor that plays dominant roles in various intracellular processes. In contrast, land plants lack cytoplasmic dynein but contain many minus-end-directed kinesin-14s.

Surface topography of microtubule walls decorated with monomeric and dimeric kinesin constructs [PDF]
, 2000 The surface topography of opened-up microtubule walls (sheets) decorated with monomeric and dimeric kinesin motor domains was investigated by freeze-drying and unidirectional metal shadowing.
