Autoinhibition of kinesin-1 is essential to the dendrite-specific localization of Golgi outposts.

Abstract excerpt

Neuronal polarity relies on the selective localization of cargo to axons or dendrites. The molecular motor kinesin-1 moves cargo into axons but is also active in dendrites. This raises the question of how kinesin-1 activity is regulated to maintain the compartment-specific localization of cargo. Our in vivo structure-function analysis of endogenous Drosophila melanogaster kinesin-1 reveals a novel role for...
