The biological and physical sciences share a common interest in small structures (the
definition of'small'depends on the application, but can range from 1 nm to 1 mm). A vigorous …

Kinesin superfamily proteins (KIFs) are key players or 'hub'proteins in the intracellular
transport system, which is essential for cellular function and morphology. The KIF …

Many complex systems–from swarming bacteria and schooling fish to transportation
networks and capital markets–show a number of characteristics in common, among which …

In the last two decades, considerable progress has been made in the field of molecular
biology, which has enabled a molecular-level understanding of a number of interesting …

Various molecular cell biology and molecular genetic approaches have indicated significant
roles for kinesin superfamily proteins (KIFs) in intracellular transport and have shown that …

A late step in cytokinesis requires the central spindle, which forms during anaphase by the
bundling of antiparallel nonkinetochore microtubules. Microtubule bundling and completion …

Many eukaryotic cells distribute their intracellular components asymmetrically through
regulated active transport driven by molecular motors along microtubule tracks. While …

Neurons form distinctive axonal and dendritic compartments that are important for directional
signaling, but the mechanisms that discriminate between axons and dendrites remain …

The forkhead-associated (FHA) domain is a small protein module recently shown to
recognize phosphothreonine epitopes on proteins. It is present in a diverse range of proteins …

Abstract Unc104 (KIF1A) kinesin transports membrane vesicles along microtubules in lower
and higher eukaryotes. Using an in vitro motility assay, we show that Unc104 uses a lipid …
