OSM-3, revealing that the kinase, NEKL-3, phosphorylates a serine/threonine patch at the hinge region of the motor to mediate autoinhibition until it reaches the ciliary middle segment. The findings ...

The chloroplast protein transport system includes a motor protein complex, which plays a critical driving role in the translocation of precursor proteins across the chloroplast membrane.

Spindle assembly and function require localized regulation of microtubule dynamics and the activity of a variety of microtubule-based motor proteins. Recent work has begun to uncover the molecular ...

Storing and processing memories uses nanoscopic motor proteins called kinesin that ... identifying kinesin as the transport for building dendritic spines following a learning experience to ...

For the study, the researchers aimed to functionalize the cell membrane to enable protein transport across the membrane and assemble them into tissue-like structures afterward. Biological channels ...
