Dimers of the molecular motor kinesin can ‘walk’ along microtubules. A flexible neck connects the head of one kinesin of the dimer to its partner. When one head is bound to a microtubule, and when ...
A toddler running sometimes loses footing because both feet come off the ground at the same time. Kinesin motors that move materials around in cells have the same problem, which limits how fast they ...
Microtubule, a cytoskeletal filament, may function as a mechano-sensor to regulate intracellular transport by its motor protein, kinesin. Tension, flexure, or compression in the microtubule filament ...
Neurons, which are responsible for producing the signals that ultimately trigger an action such as talking or moving a muscle, are built and maintained by classes of motor proteins that transport ...
Inside neurons, motor proteins haul precious cargo, moving essential goods along thread-like roadways called microtubule tracks. This miniature highway system is vital for keeping neurons healthy: ...
Researchers develop a device that parks individual molecular motors on nano scale platforms and found that two types of 'kinesin' possess different properties of coordination. In kinesin-1, neither ...
Researchers at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan have discovered how to reverse the abnormal axonal development characteristic of CFEOM3, a congenital disease that affects the muscles that ...
