Spatial Relationships Matter: Kinesin-1 Molecular Motors Transport Liposome Cargo Through 3D Microtubule Intersections <i>In Vitro</i>
2023-12-02
Abstract excerpt
Kinesin-1 ensembles maneuver vesicular cargoes through intersections in the 3-dimensional (3D) intracellular microtubule (MT) network. To characterize directional outcomes (straight, turn, terminate) at MT intersections, we challenge 350 nm fluid-like liposomes transported by ∼10 constitutively active, truncated kinesin-1 KIF5B (K543) with perpendicular 2-dimensional (2D) and 3D intersections in vitro . Liposomes...
