kinesin

That enabled them to find out how much force was being exerted by the kinesin engine.

The Kinesin 8 family has been shown to play an important role in chromosome alignment during mitosis.

A kinesin with the ability to depolymerise microtubules has been cloned.

Members of the kinesin superfamily have a highly conserved motor domain.

His research is focused on molecular motors particularly on kinesin and dynein.

In the "hand-over-hand" mechanism, the kinesin heads step past one another, alternating the lead position.

One, called kinesin, slides along structures that look for all the world like railroad tracks, pulling other molecules around the cell.

This kinesin may be involved in signaling.

In 1995, Vale and colleagues solved the crystal structure of the kinesin motor domain.

A kinesin is a protein belonging to a class of motor proteins found in eukaryotic cells.

A number of theoretical models of the molecular motor protein Kinesin have been proposed.

One of Dr. Block's goals is to take apart the kinesin motor and understand how it works.

Sequences containing a kinesin motor domain were identified as kinesin-like proteins.

This gene encodes a motor protein that is part of the kinesin superfamily.

KIF1A is a member of the kinesin family.

Many of these plant-specific kinesin groups are specialized for functions during plant cell mitosis.

The kinesin rolls along microtubule tracks, tugging its cargo.

For example, the genomes of mammals encode more than 40 kinesin proteins, organized into at least 14 families named kinesin-1 through kinesin-14.

Next Dr. Block moved on to study single molecules of the protein called kinesin, which had been discovered just a few years before, in 1985.

They wrap a protein up in a membrane, then hook the protein to a kinesin molecule.

In the "inchworm" mechanism, one kinesin head always leads, moving forward a step before the trailing head catches up.

The conventional kinesin is a tetramer with two heavy chains and two light chains.

The Kinesin 8 Family are a subfamily of the molecular motor proteins known as kinesins.

There are also motor proteins, including both dynein and kinesin, which generate forces that move chromosomes during mitosis.

Fourteen distinct kinesin families are known, with some additional kinesin-like proteins that cannot be classified into these families.
