eLife, 2014 Microtubule-based transport by the kinesin motors, powered by ATP hydrolysis, is essential for a wide range of vital processes in eukaryotes. We obtained insight into this process by developing atomic models for no-nucleotide and ATP states of the ...

Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2013 Synthetische moleculaire motoren zijn moleculaire motoren die kunnen roteren door invloed van een energetische stimulans; bij lichtaangedreven moleculaire rotoren is dit licht. Dit onderzoek richtte zich op synthetische lichtaangedreven éénrichtingsroterende moleculaire motoren gebaseerd op overpopulatie van alkenen die fotoisomerisaties ondergaan ...

Structural basis for isoform-specific kinesin-1 recognition of Y-acidic cargo adaptors
eLife, 2018 The light chains (KLCs) of the heterotetrameric microtubule motor kinesin-1, that bind to cargo adaptor proteins and regulate its activity, have a capacity to recognize short peptides via their tetratricopeptide repeat domains (KLCTPR). Here, using X-ray

Langevin approach to the Porto system
Entropy, 2004 : M. Porto (Phys. Rev. E 63 (2001) 030102) suggested a system consisting of Coulomb interacting particles, forming a linear track and a rotor, and working as a molecular motor. Newton equations with damping for the rotor coordinate on the track x, with a

From aggressive driving to molecular motor traffic [PDF]
, 2006 Motivated by recent experimental results for the step sizes of dynein motor proteins, we develope a cellular automata model for intra-cellular traffic of dynein motors incorporating special features of the hindrance-dependent step size of the individual ...

Robust quantization of a molecular motor motion in a stochastic environment [PDF]
, 2009 We explore quantization of the response of a molecular motor to periodic modulation of control parameters. We formulate the Pumping-Quantization Theorem (PQT) that identifies the conditions for robust integer quantized behavior of a periodically driven ...

External Stresses Affect Gonococcal Type 4 Pilus Dynamics
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Bacterial type 4 pili (T4P) are extracellular polymers that serve both as adhesins and molecular motors. Functionally, they are involved in adhesion, colony formation, twitching motility, and horizontal gene transfer.

Comprehensive structural model of the mechanochemical cycle of a mitotic motor highlights molecular adaptations in the kinesin family [PDF]
, 2014 Kinesins are responsible for a wide variety of microtubule-based, ATP-dependent functions. Their motor domain drives these activities but the molecular adaptations that specify these diverse and essential cellular activities are poorly understood.
