For decades, scientists have known that motor proteins like kinesin-2 ferry vital cargo along microtubule "highways" inside cells. But how these molecular vehicles identify and bind to the right cargo ...
Zachary Gergely, Michele Jones, Bojun Zhou, Cai Cash, J. Richard McIntosh, and Meredith D. Betterton (2023). Distinct regions of the kinesin-5 C-terminal tail are essential for mitotic spindle midzone ...
McGill University provides funding as a member of The Conversation CA. McGill University provides funding as a member of The Conversation CA-FR. The puzzle of memory has intrigued philosophers and ...
Scientists led by Nobel Laureate Stefan Hell at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg have developed a super-resolution microscope with a spatio-temporal precision of one ...
Motor proteins that pause at the ends of microtubules and produce pushing forces can also stimulate their growth, according to researchers at Penn State. The proteins' function could be a critical ...
Regulation of organelle transport by molecular motors along the cytoskeletal microtubules is central to maintaining cellular functions. Here, we show that the ubiquitous tau-related ...
In a new Current Biology study, CU Boulder Physics Professor Meredith Betterton and her team explored a key motor protein in cells called kinesin-5, which helps organize the cell division machinery, ...
