Effects of Obstacles on the Dynamics of Kinesins, Including Velocity and Run Length, Predicted by a Model of Two Dimensional Motion. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Kinesins are molecular motors which walk along microtubules by moving their heads to different binding sites. The motion of kinesin is realized by a conformational change in the structure of the kinesin molecule and by a diffusion of one of its two heads.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

PLoS Pathogens, 2010 Vaccinia virus (VACV) uses microtubules for export of virions to the cell surface and this process requires the viral protein F12. Here we show that F12 has structural similarity to kinesin light chain (KLC), a subunit of the kinesin-1 motor that binds ...

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.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This review systematically elaborates on the mechanisms underlying physiological regulation and pathological dysregulation of biomolecular phase separation. It also summarizes advances in phase‑separation‑targeted therapeutic strategies and the design of functional biomaterials inspired by this process.

The developmental biology of kinesins
Developmental Biology, 2021 Kinesins are microtubule-based motor proteins that are well known for their key roles in cell biological processes ranging from cell division, to intracellular transport of mRNAs, proteins, vesicles, and organelles, and microtubule disassembly. Interestingly, many of the ~45 distinct kinesin genes in vertebrate genomes have also been associated with ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Mechanical cues, including ECM stiffness, stretch, compression, shear stress, and traction forces, remodel trafficking across the secretory pathway, from the ER and Golgi to endolysosomal compartments and the plasma membrane. The resulting secretome reshapes ECM composition and tissue mechanics, establishing feedback loops that support homeostasis or ...

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.

Cellular Mechanisms Enabling Mitochondria Transfer and Transplantation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Mitochondrial transfer and transplantation (mitoTT) is examined as a multistep process governed by distinct transfer routes and post‐transfer checkpoints. Mechanisms controlling mitochondrial uptake, network integration, cristae remodeling, mtDNA maintenance, immune sensing, and quality control are highlighted, revealing key biological and ...
