New Journal of Physics, 2017 The cellular cytoskeleton is an active material, driven out of equilibrium by molecular motor proteins. It is not understood how the collective behaviors of cytoskeletal networks emerge from the properties of the network’s constituent motor proteins and ...

eLife, 2015 The size and position of mitotic spindles is determined by the lengths of their constituent microtubules. Regulation of microtubule length requires feedback to set the balance between growth and shrinkage.

Kinesin motility is driven by subdomain dynamics
eLife, 2017 The microtubule (MT)-associated motor protein kinesin utilizes its conserved ATPase head to achieve diverse motility characteristics. Despite considerable knowledge about how its ATPase activity and MT binding are coupled to the motility cycle, the ...

Structures of kinesin motor proteins [PDF]
Cell Motility, 2009 AbstractAlmost 25 years of kinesin research have led to the accumulation of a large body of knowledge about this widespread superfamily of motor and nonmotor proteins present in all eukaryotic cells. This review covers developments in kinesin research with an emphasis on structural aspects obtained by X‐ray crystallography and cryoelectron microscopy 3‐

The motors of protein import into chloroplasts [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2011 Chloroplast function is largely dependent on its resident proteins, most of which are encoded by the nuclear genome and are synthesized in cytosol. Almost all of these are imported through the translocons located in the outer and inner chloroplast envelope membranes. The motor protein that provides the driving force for protein import has been proposed

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...

Stall force measurement of the kinesin-3 motor KIF1A using a programmable DNA origami nanospring
eLifeDNA origami technology is a method for designing and constructing nanoscale structures using DNA, and it is being applied across various fields. This technology was advanced by developing the nanospring (NS), a fluorescently visible molecular spring that

Limited phenotypic effects of selectively augmenting the SMN protein in the neurons of a mouse model of severe spinal muscular atrophy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The selective vulnerability of motor neurons to paucity of Survival Motor Neuron (SMN) protein is a defining feature of human spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and indicative of a unique requirement for adequate levels of the protein in these cells. However,

Dual SMN inducing therapies can rescue survival and motor unit function in symptomatic ∆7SMA mice
Neurobiology of Disease, 2021 Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by survival motor neuron (SMN) protein deficiency which results in motor neuron loss and muscle atrophy. SMA is caused by a mutation or deletion of the survival motor neuron 1 (
