Transport on a Lattice with Dynamical Defects [PDF]
, 2013 Many transport processes in nature take place on substrates, often considered as unidimensional lanes. These unidimensional substrates are typically non-static: affected by a fluctuating environment, they can undergo conformational changes.

Motor proteins at the mitochondria–cytoskeleton interface [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2021 ABSTRACT Mitochondria are multifunctional organelles that not only produce energy for the cell, but are also important for cell signalling, apoptosis and many biosynthetic pathways. In most cell types, they form highly dynamic networks that are constantly remodelled through fission and fusion events, repositioned by motor-dependent ...

DSK1, a novel kinesin-related protein from the diatom Cylindrotheca fusiformis that is involved in anaphase spindle elongation. [PDF]
, 1996 We have identified an 80-kD protein that is involved in mitotic spindle elongation in the diatom Cylindrotheca fusiformis. DSK1 (Diatom Spindle Kinesin 1) was isolated using a peptide antibody raised against a conserved region in the motor domain of the ...

Limping Factors for Motor Proteins [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2011 Conventional kinesin is a two-headed motor protein that walks “hand-over-hand” along microtubules, with the two heads (or motor domains) moving alternatively. In vitro single-molecule measurements by Asbury, Fehr and Block [Science 302 (2003) 2130; also Fehr et al, Biophys. J.

FEBS Open Bio, 2021 Motile kinesins are motor proteins that translocate along microtubules as they hydrolyze ATP. They share a conserved motor domain which harbors both ATPase and microtubule‐binding activities.

GDNF signaling in subjects with minimal motor deficits and Parkinson's disease
Neurobiology of Disease, 2021 The failure of glial cell derived neurotropic factor to be efficacious in blinded clinical trials for Parkinson's disease may be due to alterations in signaling receptors and downstream signaling molecules.

Stochastic kinetics of ribosomes: single motor properties and collective behavior [PDF]
, 2009 Synthesis of protein molecules in a cell are carried out by ribosomes. A ribosome can be regarded as a molecular motor which utilizes the input chemical energy to move on a messenger RNA (mRNA) track that also serves as a template for the polymerization ...
