Photocontrol of kinesin ATPase activity using an azobenzene derivative.

Journal of biochemistry - 1 Dec 2007

Yamada Masafumi D, Nakajima Yuki, Maeda Hidekatsu, Maruta Shinsaku

Abstract excerpt

Azobenzene is a photochromic molecule that undergoes rapid and reversible isomerization between the cis- and trans-forms in response to ultraviolet (UV) and visible (VIS) light irradiation, respectively. Here, we introduced the sulfhydryl-reactive azobenzene derivative 4-phenylazophenyl maleimide (PAM) into the functional region of kinesin to reversibly regulate the ATPase activity of kinesin by photoirradiation....
