Abstract excerpt
Bik1p is the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae representative of the CLIP-170 family of microtubule plus-end tracking proteins. Bik1p shares a number of similarities with its mammalian counterpart CLIP-170, including an important role in dynein function. However, Bik1p and CLIP-170 differ in several significant ways, including the mechanisms utilized to track microtubule plus ends. In addition to presenting...
