Vigorous transport of cytoplasmic components along axons over substantial distances is
crucial for the maintenance of neuron structure and function. The transport of mitochondria …

The nerve terminal is a specialized region of a neuron, separated from the neuronal soma
by an axon that can be exceedingly long, whose function is to release neurotransmitter …

Development of video-enhanced contrast-differential interference contrast for light
microscopy has permitted study of both orthograde and retrograde fast axonal transport of …

Revised Manuscript Received October 29, 1987 abstract: Kinesin was extensively purified
from bovine brain cytosol by a microtubule-binding step in the presence of 5'-adenylyl …

Native microtubules prepared from extruded and dissociated axoplasm have been observed
to transport organelles and vesicles unidirectionally in fresh preparations and more slowly …

The distribution of mitochondria to daughter cells is an essential feature of mitotic cell
growth, yet the molecular mechanisms facilitating this mitochondrial inheritance are …

The development of AVEC‐DIC microscopy and the application of this method to the study of
fast axonal transport in isolated axoplasm extruded from the giant axon of the squid Loligo …

Kinesin, a microtubule-activated ATPase and putative motor protein for the transport of
membrane-bounded organelles along microtubules, was purified from bovine brain and …

The Schizosaccharomyces pombe mutant, ban5-4, displays aberrant mitochondrial
distribution. Incubation of this conditional-lethal mutant at the nonpermissive temperature led …
