Comprehensive comparative analysis of kinesins in photosynthetic eukaryotes [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2006 Background Kinesins, a superfamily of molecular motors, use microtubules as tracks and transport diverse cellular cargoes. All kinesins contain a highly conserved ~350 amino acid motor domain.

Kinesin-14: the roots of reversal [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2010 Kinesin-14 motor proteins step towards microtubule minus ends, in the opposite direction to other kinesins. Work on the still-enigmatic kinesin-14 mechanism published in BMC Structural Biology shows that the carboxyl terminus of the motor head undergoes ...

Potential roles for Kinesins at the cortical division site [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012 Spatial control of cytokinesis is critical for cell and plant morphology. The plane of cell division is established at G2/M transition and is initially demarcated at the cortex of the cell by the cytoskeletal preprophase band (PPB) and subsequently ...

CytoskeletonABSTRACT Few proteins have inspired as much curiosity as kinesin. Since its discovery 40 years ago, kinesin has become one of the best understood molecular machines in biology, yet it continues to reveal new questions about how cells organize and move their contents.

The mechanism of kinesin inhibition by kinesin-binding protein [PDF]
eLife, 2020 Subcellular compartmentalisation is necessary for eukaryotic cell function. Spatial and temporal regulation of kinesin activity is essential for building these local environments via control of intracellular cargo distribution.

Concerted action of kinesins KIF5B and KIF13B promotes efficient secretory vesicle transport to microtubule plus ends [PDF]
eLife, 2020 Intracellular transport relies on multiple kinesins, but it is poorly understood which kinesins are present on particular cargos, what their contributions are and whether they act simultaneously on the same cargo.

Dissection of kinesin's processivity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The protein family of kinesins contains processive motor proteins that move stepwise along microtubules. This mechanism requires the precise coupling of the catalytic steps in the two heads, and their precise mechanical coordination.

Dynamics of Intracellular Nano-Transport by Kinesins [PDF]
, 2015 Transport in neurons is realized by motor proteins (kinesins) which walk along intracellular tracks. Healthy mechanical transport is necessary for neurons to maintain their normal functions.

Kinesin transport: driving kinesin in the neuron [PDF]
Current Biology, 2001 A plethora of cytoplasmic motors contribute to the directed transport of a wide range of cellular organelles and molecules. Recent studies have advanced our understanding of cargo attachment to motor molecules and the regulation of intracellular transport.

The characterisation of family-13 kinesins in Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
, 2008 Kinesins are motor proteins involved in the movement of organelles and sub-organelles along microtubule tracks within the cell. Phylogenetic analysis of the 46 kinesin genes coded by the Trypanosoma brucei genome resulted in the grouping of seven kinesin
