MAPping out distribution routes for kinesin couriers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In the crowded environment of eukaryotic cells, diffusion is an inefficient distribution mechanism for cellular components. Long-distance active transport is required and is performed by molecular motors including kinesins.

Differential expression of molecular motors in the motor cortex of sporadic ALS

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2007
The molecular mechanisms underlying the selective neurodegeneration of motor neurons in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are inadequately understood.

TRIM3 regulates the motility of the kinesin motor protein KIF21B. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Kinesin superfamily proteins (KIFs) are molecular motors that transport cellular cargo along the microtubule cytoskeleton. KIF21B is a neuronal kinesin that is highly enriched in dendrites. The regulation and specificity of microtubule transport involves

The Ton Motor

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The Ton complex is a molecular motor at the inner membrane of Gram-negative bacteria that uses a proton gradient to apply forces on outer membrane (OM) proteins to permit active transport of nutrients into the periplasmic space.

Nucleotide specificity of the enzymatic and motile activities of dynein, kinesin, and heavy meromyosin. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
The substrate specificities of dynein, kinesin, and myosin substrate turnover activity and cytoskeletal filament-driven translocation were examined using 15 ATP analogues.

Surface Passivation for Molecular Motor Protein Assays [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2010
In kinesin motiliy assays, it has been shown that the surfaces with which kinesin interacts must be passivated in order to prevent kinesin from denaturing on them. The most popular surface blocker is the casein family of milk proteins. Casein is usually purified to various degrees from bovine milk and has many unknowns associated with it when ...

SYNGR4 and PLEKHB1 deregulation in motor neurons of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis models: potential contributions to pathobiology

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2022
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is the most common adult-onset neurodegenerative disease affecting motor neurons. Its defining feature is progressive loss of motor neuron function in the cortex, brainstem, and spinal cord, leading to paralysis and death ...

Coupling of Two Motor Proteins: a New Motor Can Move Faster [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We study the effect of a coupling between two motor domains in highly-processive motor protein complexes. A simple stochastic discrete model, in which the two parts of the protein molecule interact through some energy potential, is presented.

Spinal muscular atrophy patient iPSC-derived motor neurons have reduced expression of proteins important in neuronal development

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an inherited neuromuscular disease primarily characterized by degeneration of spinal motor neurons, and caused by reduced levels of the SMN protein. Previous studies to understand the proteomic consequences of reduced SMN

Engineered Pendrin Protein, an Anion Transporter and Molecular Motor [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2011
Pendrin and prestin both belong to a distinct anion transporter family called solute carrier protein 26A, or SLC26A. Pendrin (SLC26A4) is a chloride-iodide transporter that is found at the luminal membrane of follicular cells in the thyroid gland as well as in the endolymphatic duct and sac of the inner ear, whereas prestin (SLC26A5) is expressed in ...
