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 ...

S. pombe kinesins-8 promote both nucleation and catastrophe of microtubules [PDF]
, 2012 The kinesins-8 were originally thought to be microtubule depolymerases, but are now emerging as more versatile catalysts of microtubule dynamics. We show here that S.

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.

Universal and unique features of kinesin motors: Insights from a comparison of fungal and animal conventional kinesins [PDF]
, 1999 Kinesins are microtubule motors that use the energy derived from the hydrolysis of ATP to move unidirectionally along microtubules, The founding member of this still growing superfamily is conventional kinesin, a dimeric motor that moves processively ...

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

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,

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

The Long Haul: Microtubule Motors as the Essential Supply Line for Neuronal Longevity. [PDF]
J NeurochemTo survive a lifetime, neurons depend on a high‐fidelity logistics network powered by microtubule motors. We explore how a broad spectrum of genetic defects in this machinery drive a devastating spectrum of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases, including Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP), Charcot–Marie‐Tooth Type 2 (CMT2), and ...

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.
