Oncogenic role of kinesin proteins and targeting kinesin therapy
Cancer Science, 2013 The kinesin superfamily (KIF) is a group of proteins that share a highly conserved motor domain. Except for some members, many KIF proteins have adenosine triphosphatase activity and microtubule‐dependent plus‐end motion ability. Kinesins participate in several essential cellular functions, including mitosis, meiosis and the transport of macromolecules.

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Of the three types of cytoskeleton known in animals—actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments—only actin and microtubules exist in plants. Both play important roles in cellular shaping, organelle movement, organization of the endomembrane system, and cell signaling.

Cell ReportsSummary: Each cargo in a cell employs a unique set of motor proteins for its transport. To dissect the roles of each type of motor, we developed optogenetic inhibitors of endogenous kinesin-1, -2, -3 and dynein motors and examined their effect on 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.

In vivo Imaging of oskar mRNA transport reveals the mechanism of posterior localization [PDF]
, 2008 oskar mRNA localization to the posterior of the Drosophila oocyte defines where the abdomen and germ cells form in the embryo. Although this localization requires microtubules and the plus end-directed motor, kinesin, its mechanism is controversial and ...

Making Two out of One: Kinesin Motors Driving Plant Cell Division
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Kinesin superfamily of microtubule dependent motors is present in all eukaryotes. Not all of the subfamilies are represented in all kingdoms, and the ones that are do not always show conserved functions. Tight control of the cytoskeleton is essential for proper progression and completion of mitosis and cytokinesis, and key functions are ...

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Microtubules play essential roles in numerous cellular processes. All microtubules are built from the protein tubulin, yet individual microtubules can differ spatially and temporally due to their tubulin isotype composition and post‐translational modifications (PTMs).

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Post‐translational modifications (PTMs) to tubulin subunits in microtubule filaments are thought to comprise a component of the tubulin code that specifies microtubule functions in cell physiology and animal development. Acetylation of Lysine‐40 (K40) on α‐tubulin (αTub‐K40ac) and glutamylation of both α‐ and β‐tubulin are two tubulin PTMs of ...
