The legacy of kinesins in the pollen tube 30 years later
Cytoskeleton, 2022 The pollen tube is fundamental in the reproduction of seed plants. Particularly in angiosperms, we now have much information about how it grows, how it senses extracellular signals, and how it converts them into a directional growth mechanism.

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.

An Unveiled Cell Death Mechanism Exclusive to Human Cancer Cells
Biology and Life Sciences Forum, 2023 The modified phenanthridine PJ34 blocks the post-translational modifications of specific proteins highly expressed in human malignant cells. This exclusively arrests mitosis in human malignant cells by inserting flaws in their mitotic spindle structure ...

Journal of Cell Science, 2010 Kinesin was discovered in 1985 – 25 years ago – based on its motility in cytoplasm extruded from the giant axon of the squid ([Allen et al., 1982][1]; [Brady et al., 1982][2]; [Vale et al., 1985][3]).

Axonal transport during injury on a theoretical axon
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023 Neurodevelopment, plasticity, and cognition are integral with functional directional transport in neuronal axons that occurs along a unique network of discontinuous polar microtubule (MT) bundles.

Microtubule poleward flux in human cells is driven by the coordinated action of four kinesins
bioRxiv, 2020 Mitotic spindle microtubules (MTs) undergo continuous poleward flux, whose driving force and function in humans remain unclear. Here, we combined loss-of-function screenings with analysis of MT dynamics in human cells to investigate the molecular ...

Comprehensive comparative analysis of kinesins in photosynthetic eukaryotes
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.

Absence of DEATH kinesin is fatal for Leishmania mexicana amastigotes
Scientific Reports, 2022 Kinesins are motor proteins present in organisms from protists to mammals playing important roles in cell division, intracellular organisation and flagellum formation and maintenance.

Role of cytoplasmic dynein and kinesins in adenovirus transport
FEBS Letters, 2020 Following receptor‐mediated uptake into endocytic vesicles and subsequent escape, adenovirus particles are transported along microtubules. The microtubule motor proteins dynein and one or more kinesins are involved in this behavior.
