The role of the kinesin motor KipA in microtubule organization and polarized growth of Aspergillus nidulans.

Molecular biology of the cell - 1 Feb 2005

Konzack Sven, Rischitor Patricia E, Enke Cathrin, Fischer Reinhard

Abstract excerpt

Polarized growth in filamentous fungi requires the integrity of the microtubule (MT) cytoskeleton. We found that growing MTs in Aspergillus nidulans merge at the center of fast growing tips and discovered that a kinesin motor protein, KipA, related to Tea2p of Schizosaccharomyces pombe, is required for this process. In a DeltakipA strain, MT plus ends reach the tip but show continuous lateral movement. Hyphae...
