Kinesins in the Arabidopsis genome: A comparative analysis among eukaryotes
BMC Genomics, 2001 Background Kinesins constitute a superfamily of microtubule motor proteins that are found in eukaryotic organisms. Members of the kinesin superfamily perform many diverse cellular functions such as transport of vesicles and organelles, spindle formation ...

eLife, 2021 During metaphase, chromosome position at the spindle equator is regulated by the forces exerted by kinetochore microtubules and polar ejection forces. However, the role of forces arising from mechanical coupling of sister kinetochore fibers with bridging

Cell Reports, 2020 Summary: BORC is a multisubunit complex previously shown to promote coupling of mammalian lysosomes and C. elegans synaptic vesicle (SV) precursors (SVPs) to kinesins for anterograde transport of these organelles along microtubule tracks. We attempted to

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Aspergillus niger is an important filamentous fungus in industrial biotechnology for the production of citric acid and enzymes. In the late 1980s, the A. niger N400/NRRL3 strain was selected for both fundamental and applied studies in relation to several

Kinesin as an Electrostatic Machine [PDF]
Journal of Biological Physics, 2006 Kinesin and related motor proteins utilize ATP fuel to propel themselves along the external surface of microtubules in a processive and directional fashion. We show that the observed step-like motion is possible through time varying charge distributions furnished by the ATP hydrolysis circle while the static charge configuration on the microtuble ...

On the Origin of Kinesin Limping [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2009 Kinesin is a dimeric motor with twin catalytic heads joined to a common stalk. Kinesin molecules move processively along microtubules in a hand-over-hand walk, with the two heads advancing alternately. Recombinant kinesin constructs with short stalks have been found to "limp", i.e., exhibit alternation in the dwell times of successive steps.

Identification and phylogenetic analysis of
BMC Genomics, 2003 Background Kinesins constitute a large superfamily of motor proteins in eukaryotic cells. They perform diverse tasks such as vesicle and organelle transport and chromosomal segregation in a microtubule- and ATP-dependent manner.

Cytoskeleton: A catastrophic kinesin [PDF]
Current Biology, 1996 The 'plus' ends of microtubules exhibit dynamic instability, switching stochastically from growth to shortening phases. The first endogenous regulator of such 'catastrophes' has been identified, and is a kinesin-related microtubule motor protein.

BLOS1 mediates kinesin switch during endosomal recycling of LDL receptor
eLife, 2020 Low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) in hepatocytes plays a key role in plasma clearance of circulating LDL and in whole body cholesterol homeostasis.
