Sunday Driver/JIP3 binds kinesin heavy chain directly and enhances its motility.
Neuronal development, function and repair critically depend on axonal transport of vesicles and protein complexes, which is mediated in part by the molecular motor kinesin-1. Adaptor proteins recruit kinesin-1 to vesicles via direct association with kinesin heavy chain (KHC), the force-generating component, or via the accessory light chain (KLC). Binding of adaptors to the motor is believed to ...
متن کاملKinesin light chain-independent function of the Kinesin heavy chain
In Drosophila, the asymmetries that specify the embryonic axes are established early during oogenesis in a process that requires the precise localisation of several transcripts (Riechmann and Ephrussi, 2001; van Eeden and St Johnston, 1999). The localisation of oskar mRNA to the posterior pole of the oocyte specifies where the pole plasm forms, and thus where the abdomen and the germ line will ...
متن کاملDefective Kinesin Heavy Chain Behavior in Mouse Kinesin Light Chain Mutants
Conventional kinesin, kinesin-I, is a heterotetramer of two kinesin heavy chain (KHC) subunits (KIF5A, KIF5B, or KIF5C) and two kinesin light chain (KLC) subunits. While KHC contains the motor activity, the role of KLC remains unknown. It has been suggested that KLC is involved in either modulation of KHC activity or in cargo binding. Previously, we characterized KLC genes in mouse (Rahman, A.,...
متن کاملInhibition of kinesin-driven microtubule motility by monoclonal antibodies to kinesin heavy chains
We have prepared and characterized seven mouse monoclonal antibodies (SUK 1-7) to the 130-kD heavy chain of sea urchin egg kinesin. On immunoblots, SUK 3 and SUK 4 cross-reacted with Drosophila embryo 116-kD heavy chains, and SUK 4, SUK 5, SUK 6, and SUK 7 bound to the 120-kD heavy chains of bovine brain kinesin. Three out of seven monoclonal antikinesins (SUK 4, SUK 6, and SUK 7) caused a dose...
متن کاملBicaudal-D binds clathrin heavy chain to promote its transport and augments synaptic vesicle recycling.
Cargo transport by microtubule-based motors is essential for cell organisation and function. The Bicaudal-D (BicD) protein participates in the transport of a subset of cargoes by the minus-end-directed motor dynein, although the full extent of its functions is unclear. In this study, we report that in Drosophila zygotic BicD function is only obligatory in the nervous system. Clathrin heavy chai...
