A family of proteins related to the microtubule motor, kinesin, is emerging. Members of this
family, which includes both plus-and minus-end motors, are involved in nuclear functions …

The cellular processes of transport, division and, possibly, early development all involve
microtubule‐based motors. Recent work shows that, unexpectedly, many of these cellular …

Kinesin is a microtubule-based motility protein that mediates axonal transport and perhaps
other intracellular movements in eukaryotic cells. Recent research has indicated that the …

Organelle transport along microtubules can be reconstituted using isolated components,
allowing this complex motility process to be dissected biochemically. This approach has led …

Kinesin is but one member of a large superfamily of microtubule-based motor proteins. This
diverse group of motors drives a numer of essential subcellular movements, including …

The rapidly expanding kinesin family of microtubule motor proteins includes proteins that are
involved in diverse microtubule-based functions in the cell. Phylogenetic analysis of the …

Almost 25 years of kinesin research have led to the accumulation of a large body of
knowledge about this widespread superfamily of motor and nonmotor proteins present in all …

A variety of intracellular motile processes involve the directed movement of particles along
microtubules, including organelle transport, endoplasmic reticulum extension, and …

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 …

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 …
