The legacy of kinesins in the pollen tube 30 years later [PDF]
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.

Prime movers : mechanochemistry of mitotic kinesins [PDF]
Nature reviews. Molecular cell biology, 2014 Mitotic spindles are self-organizing protein machines that harness teams of multiple force generators to drive chromosome segregation. Kinesins are key members of these force-generating teams.

Organization of two kinesins in a two-dimensional microtubule network [PDF]
PLoS ONEIn intracellular active transport, molecular motors are responsible for moving biological cargo along networks of microtubules that serve as scaffolds. Cargo dynamics can be modified by different features of microtubule networks such as geometry, density,

N-Terminal Kinesins: Many and Various
Traffic, 2004 Molecular motors are a fascinating group of proteins that have vital roles in a huge variety of cellular processes. They all share the ability to produce force through the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate, and fall into classes groups: the kinesins ...

Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) Single-Molecule Assay to Analyze the Motility of Kinesin [PDF]
Bio-ProtocolThe motile parameters of kinesin superfamily proteins are fundamental to intracellular transport. Single-molecule motility assays using total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy are a gold standard technique for measuring the motile ...

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.

Mechanisms for regulation of plant kinesins
Current opinion in plant biology, 2013 Throughout the eukaryotic world, kinesins serve as molecular motors for the directional transport of cellular cargo along microtubule tracks. Plants contain a large number of kinesins that have conserved as well as specialized functions.

HPV16 entry requires dynein for minus-end transport and utilizes kinesin Kif11 for plus-end transport along microtubules during mitosis [PDF]
Journal of VirologyHuman papillomaviruses (HPVs) travel from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to the condensed (mitotic) chromosomes during mitosis. Partially uncoated HPV capsids utilize a unique vesicular structure for trafficking and nuclear import, which is directed by ...
