Functional modulation of IFT kinesins extends the sensory repertoire of ciliated neurons in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
, 2006 The diversity of sensory cilia on Caenorhabditis elegans neurons allows the animal to detect a variety of sensory stimuli. Sensory cilia are assembled by intraflagellar transport (IFT) kinesins, which transport ciliary precursors, bound to IFT particles,

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.

Nature, 1996 Chromosome segregation during mitosis depends on the action of the mitotic spindle, a self-organizing, bipolar protein machine which uses microtubules (MTs) and their associated motors. Members of the BimC subfamily of kinesin-related MT-motor proteins are believed to be essential for the formation and functioning of a normal bipolar spindle.

An important role for Myb-MuvB and its target gene KIF23 in a mouse model of lung adenocarcinoma [PDF]
, 2016 The conserved Myb-MuvB (MMB) multiprotein complex has an important role in transcriptional activation of mitotic genes. MMB target genes are overexpressed in several different cancer types and their elevated expression is associated with an advanced ...

Potential roles for Kinesins at the cortical division site
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012 Spatial control of cytokinesis is critical for cell and plant morphology. The plane of cell division is established at G2/M transition and is initially demarcated at the cortex of the cell by the cytoskeletal preprophase band (PPB) and subsequently ...

Intra-cellular transport by single-headed kinesin KIF1A: effects of single-motor mechano-chemistry and steric interactions [PDF]
, 2007 In eukaryotic cells, many motor proteins can move simultaneously on a single microtubule track. This leads to interesting collective phenomena like jamming. Recently we reported ({\it Phys. Rev. Lett.

Transport by molecular motors in the presence of static defects [PDF]
, 2009 The transport by molecular motors along cytoskeletal filaments is studied theoretically in the presence of static defects. The movements of single motors are described as biased random walks along the filament as well as binding to and unbinding from the

The preprophase band-associated kinesin-14 OsKCH2 is a processive minus-end-directed microtubule motor. [PDF]
, 2018 In animals and fungi, cytoplasmic dynein is a processive minus-end-directed motor that plays dominant roles in various intracellular processes. In contrast, land plants lack cytoplasmic dynein but contain many minus-end-directed kinesin-14s.

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.

, 2016 Anaphase B spindle elongation is characterized by the sliding apart of overlapping antiparallel interpolar (ip) microtubules (MTs) as the two opposite spindle poles separate, pulling along disjoined sister chromatids, thereby contributing to chromosome ...
