Kinesin motors as molecular machines.
Molecular motor proteins, fueled by energy from ATP hydrolysis, move along actin filaments or microtubules, performing work in the cell. The kinesin microtubule motors transport vesicles or organelles, assemble bipolar spindles or depolymerize microtubules, functioning in basic cellular processes. The mechanism by which motor proteins convert energy from ATP hydrolysis into work is likely to di...
متن کاملMolecular motors: The natural economy of kinesin
Kinesin is a molecular-scale walking machine. New analyses of its mechanism indicate that each step along a microtubule consumes one ATP molecule, and that the binding and cleavage of ATP precede detachment of the molecule's 'feet'. Directional walking ensues if ATP processing occurs preferentially on one foot.
متن کاملMicrotubule organization by the antagonistic mitotic motors kinesin-5 and kinesin-14
During cell division, different molecular motors act synergistically to rearrange microtubules. Minus end-directed motors are thought to have a dual role: focusing microtubule ends to poles and establishing together with plus end-directed motors a balance of force between antiparallel microtubules in the spindle. We study here the competing action of Xenopus laevis kinesin-14 and -5 in vitro in...
متن کاملDirectionality of kinesin motors.
Kinesins are molecular motors that transport various cargoes along microtubule tracks using energy derived from ATP hydrolysis. Although the motor domains of kinesins are structurally similar, the family contains members that move on microtubules in opposite directions. Recent biochemical and biophysical studies of several kinesins make it possible to identify structural elements responsible fo...
متن کاملCommon mechanistic themes for the powerstroke of kinesin-14 motors.
Kar3Cik1 is a heterodimeric kinesin-14 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae involved in spindle formation during mitosis and karyogamy in mating cells. Kar3 represents a canonical kinesin motor domain that interacts with microtubules under the control of ATP-hydrolysis. In vivo, the localization and function of Kar3 is differentially regulated by its interacting stoichiometrically with either Cik1 or ...
