Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic variants in the motor domain of the kinesin-3 motor protein KIF1A cause a range of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative conditions collectively termed KIF1A-associated neurological disorder (KAND). Among these, mutations at residue R350 are linked to hereditary spastic paraplegia and altered motor function. Yet, the structural basis for their pathogenicity remains unclear. Here, we present...
