Abstract excerpt
Microcephaly with or without chorioretinopathy, lymphedema, or intellectual disabilities (MCLID) is a rare disease caused by mutations in the mitotic motor KIF11. However, the specific neuronal functions of KIF11, its mechanisms of microtubule (MT) regulation, and the impact of MCLID mutations on KIF11 function remain underexplored. Here, using live-imaging, we find that KIF11 depletion in postmitotic neurons...
