Cilia are multifunctional organelles that are constructed using intraflagellar transport (IFT) of cargo to and from their tip. It is widely held that the retrograde IFT motor, dynein-2, must be ...
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Researchers using an extremely fast and accurate imaging technique have shed light on the tiny movements of molecular motors that shuttle material within living cells. The motors ...
The smallest proteins travel in our cells, completing deeply important tasks to keep our molecular mechanisms moving. They are responsible for transporting cargo, duplicating cells and more. Now, a ...
Researchers have discovered that proteins carrying chemical cargo in nerve cells react differently when exposed to the tau protein, which plays an important role in Alzheimer's disease. Researchers at ...
Biophysicists and a plant biologists have discovered a novel motor protein that significantly expands current understanding of the evolution and design principle of motor proteins. A research team led ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Long-distance transport along microtubules (MTs) is critical for intracellular organization. In animals, antagonistic motor proteins kinesin ...
In research published in the Journal of Cell Biology, scientists from the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan have made important steps toward understanding how dynein—a "molecular motor"—walks ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We report an ATPase activity, present in sea urchin egg cytosol, that is activated by microtubules. The activity sediments at 10 S in sucrose ...
Two-legged protein motors are currently marching around your cells delivering cargoes to precise locations, and with impeccable timing. These motors are transporting energy-producing mitochondria to ...
