Kinesin is essential for cell morphogenesis and polarized secretion in Neurospora crassa.

The EMBO journal - 2 Jun 1997

Seiler S, Nargang F E, Steinberg G, Schliwa M

Abstract excerpt

Kinesin is a force-generating molecule that is thought to translocate organelles along microtubules, but its precise cellular function is still unclear. To determine the role of kinesin in vivo, we have generated a kinesin-deficient strain in the simple cell system Neurospora crassa. Null cells exhibit severe alterations in cell morphogenesis, notably hyphal extension, morphology and branching. Surprisingly, the...
