We find that the microtubule-based motor kinesin-1 is recruited to the ER membrane by binding to the transmembrane J-protein B14. Strikingly, this motor facilitates SV40 ER-to-cytosol transport by ...

KIFs are molecular motors that directionally transport ... see the figure). A kinesin motor generally consists of a kinesin motor domain, which is conserved among kinesin superfamily proteins ...

"Because they carry out so many vital functions in the cells of the body, we really want to understand how they operate at the molecular level." In total, there are 45 different kinesin motor ...

Biophysicists at Stanford University have finally answered one of the most fundamental questions in molecular biology: How does the tiny motor molecule, known as kinesin, move across a living cell?

Publishing in Science Advances, Kyoto University's School of Engineering has found that two types of 'kinesin' -- a type of molecular motor -- possess different properties of coordination.

Similarly, scientists discovered that motor memory—as indicated ... In our study, we speculated that kinesin was used to ...

Kinesin motors that move materials around ... Processivity is the average number of steps the molecular motor can take before it detaches from the microtubule and another must take its place.

An international team of researchers has shed light on how tiny molecular motors ... images of the kinesin-microtubule units, and performed the computationally demanding analysis that produced the ...

function effectively as a reversible molecular motor. Although much of the heavy lifting in the body has shifted to use ATP with ATPases such as myosin and kinesin, GTPases have retained their ...

"The Way Things Move: Looking Under the Hood of Molecular Motor Proteins." The Art of the Cell. 7 April 2000 Hirokawa, Nobutaka, et al. "Kinesin superfamily motor proteins and intracel ...

Kinesin “walking” across a molecular track. After two days ... Similarly, scientists discovered that motor memory—as indicated by how long mice can run on a rotating rod after training ...
