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.

Mechanisms for regulation of plant kinesins [PDF]
, 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.

Phosphoregulation of Kinesins Involved in Long-Range Intracellular Transport
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Kinesins, the microtubule-dependent mechanochemical enzymes, power a variety of intracellular movements. Regulation of Kinesin activity and Kinesin-Cargo interactions determine the direction, timing and flux of various intracellular transports.

The cooperative roles of two kinetoplastid-specific kinesins in cytokinesis and in maintaining cell morphology in bloodstream trypanosomes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The cytoskeleton of Trypanosoma brucei, a unicellular eukaryote and a parasitic protozoan, is defined by the subpellicular microtubule corset that is arranged underneath the plasma membrane. We recently identified two orphan kinesins, TbKIN-C and TbKIN-D,

Molecular Motor KIF3B Acts as a Key Regulator of Dendritic Architecture in Cortical Neurons
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020 Neurons require a well-coordinated intercellular transport system to maintain their normal cellular function and morphology. The kinesin family of proteins (KIFs) fills this role by regulating the transport of a diverse array of cargos in post-mitotic ...

Mitotic Kinesins: A Reason to Delve into Kinesin-12 [PDF]
Current Biology, 2014 The failure of kinesin-targeting cancer drugs is thought to result from functional redundancy of mitotic kinesins. A new study provides mechanistic insights into kinesin-12 that help to explain its targeting to kinetochore fibers and its ability to compensate for inhibition of kinesin-5.

A study of M0R1/GEM1 and kinl-like kinesins arabidopsis [PDF]
, 2004 Microtubules perform essential functions in eukaryotic cells and, with other cytoskeletal elements, are involved in diverse cellular processes. Plant cells construct four microtubule arrays; There are two cortical arrays, the interphase cortical array ...
