<i>Drosophila</i> kinesin-8 stabilises the kinetochore-microtubule interaction

2018-07-06

Abstract excerpt

Kinesin-8 is required for proper chromosome alignment in a variety of animal and yeast cell types. However, how this conserved motor protein controls chromosome alignment remains unclear, as multiple biochemical activities, including inconsistent ones between studies, have been identified for this motor family. Here, we show that Drosophila kinesin-8 Klp67A possesses both microtubule (MT) plus-end-stabilising and...
