It has been thought that motile structures within the cell are driven toward the plus and minus
ends of microtubules by the ATPases, kinesin and dynein, respectively. Recently obtained …

Virtually all eukaryotes actively transport or position intracellular components (for example,
chromosomes or membrane-bounded organelles), and some cells have developed means …

Microtubules are found in almost all eukaryotic cells and serve a number of important
functions in cell motility. They are the principal structural comн ponents of the mitotic spindle …

Many of the motions by and within cells are dependent on mechanochemical enzymes that
interact with cytoplasmic filaments to generate force. For example, myosin interacts with …

Cellular polarization dependsuponthe asymmetrictransport of componentswithin the cell,
often along microtubule paths. Kinesin and cytoplasmic dynein are the most abundant …

3157-3163 molecular motors kinesin and cytoplasmic dynein, which are known to be
responsible for directed movement of organelles along microtubules, have been …

Among the most interesting proteins associated with microtubules are the energy-
transducing ATPases, known as microtubule motors. These motor proteins, which. are able …

Kinesin and dynein are motor proteins that move in opposite directions along microtubules.
In this study, we examine the consequences of having kinesin and dynein (ciliary outer arm …

Three classes of cytoskeletal motor protein have been identified—myosins, kinesins and
dyneins. Together, these proteins are now thought to be responsible for the remarkable …
