The interplay between microtubules and microtubule-based motors is fundamental to basic
aspects of cellular function, such as the intracellular transport of organelles and alterations …

Tubulin dimers assemble into dynamic microtubules, which are used by molecular motors as
tracks for intracellular transport. Organization and dynamics of the microtubule network are …

Many of the kinesin microtubule motor proteins discovered during the past 8–9 years have
roles in spindle assembly and function or chromosome movement during meiosis or mitosis …

During eukaryote cell division, molecular motors are crucial regulators of microtubule
organization, spindle assembly, chromosome segregation and intracellular transport. The …

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 …

Microtubule-based motility is precisely regulated, and the targets of regulation may be the
motor proteins, the microtubules, or both components of this intricately controlled system …

The movements of eukaryotic cell division depend upon the conversion of chemical energy
into mechanical work, which in turn involves the actions of motor proteins, molecular …

Motility is a hallmark of life. Even cells that are incapable of active movement within their
environment perform essential intracellular motility processes. A number of mechanisms …

Microtubule dynamics is controlled and amplified in vivo by complex sets of regulators.
Among these regulatory proteins, molecular motors from the kinesin superfamily are taking …

Microtubules are critical for a variety of important functions in eukaryotic cells. During
intracellular trafficking, molecular motor proteins of the kinesin superfamily drive the …
