Here, we report that two proteins of the Drosophila melanogaster kinesin-13 family, KLP10A and KLP59C, cooperate to drive microtubule depolymerization in interphase cells. Analyses of microtubule ...

Scientists Solve Puzzle Of How Kinesin Motor Molecules Walk – Or Limp – Across Cells Date: December 8, 2003 Source: Stanford University Summary: Biophysicists at Stanford University have ...

Different motilities of microtubules driven by kinesin-1 and kinesin-14 motors patterned on nano-pillars. Science Advances , 2020 DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aax7413 Cite This Page : ...

In most organisms, these Pac-man-like molecules are a group of proteins from the kinesin-13 subfamily that lead to microtubule shortening. Interestingly, during cell division in fission yeast ...

Structurally, kinesin exists as a heterotetramer that is composed of two heavy and two light chains. The catalytic motor of kinesin, also referred to as the head, are components of the heavy chains.

In reality, a more accurate description would be: This is what a kinesin protein might look like — if it were especially colorful. The kinesin motor protein was a real scene stealer in Inner ...
