Role of dynein–dynactin complex, kinesins, motor adaptors, and their phosphorylation in dendritogenesis

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, 2020
One of the characteristic features of different classes of neurons that is vital for their proper functioning within neuronal networks is the shape of their dendritic arbors.

Role of kinesins in directed adenovirus transport and cytoplasmic exploration

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2018
Many viruses, including adenovirus, exhibit bidirectional transport along microtubules following cell entry. Cytoplasmic dynein is responsible for microtubule minus end transport of adenovirus capsids after endosomal escape.

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 in MAPK cascade: How kinesin motors are involved in the MAPK pathway?

Gene, 2019
Kinesins are essential for the transport and positioning of several biomolecules through moving along the microtubule in eukaryotic cells. Up to now, there are 14 kinesin family proteins known.

Breaking of buckled microtubules is mediated by kinesins.

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications - BBRC, 2020
Microtubule is the most rigid component of eukaryotic cytoskeleton that plays pivotal roles in many important cellular events. Microtubules are known to undergo bending or buckling in cells which often results in breaking of this cytoskeletal protein ...

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.

Kinesin-II, the heteromeric kinesin

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences (CMLS), 1999
The kinesins constitute a large family of motor proteins which are responsible for the distribution of numerous organelles, vesicles and macromolecular complexes throughout the cell. One class of these molecular motors, kinesin-II, is unique in that these proteins are typically found as heterotrimeric complexes containing two different, though related,
