Abstract excerpt
KIF1A-associated neurological disorder (KAND) arises from mutations in the microtubule motor KIF1A, disrupting synaptic vesicle transport. Here, we investigate the pathogenic T99M substitution in the P-loop of KIF1A, which induces steric hindrance, impairing ATP/ADP coordination and motor activity. Using CRISPR-engineered Caenorhabditis elegans expressing the homologous UNC-104(T95M) mutation, we conducted...
