dimer | Kinesin-1 dimerizes via an extended stalk domain that forms a coiled coil, so that the two catalytic motor domains are situated at one end of the coiled-coil, while cargo-binding domains are found at the opposite end. During active motility, the dimerized motor domains take alternating, eight nanometer steps toward the microtubule plus end, tracking along single protofilaments, structure overview | Homo sapiens |

evolution | conventional kinesin is the founding member of a superfamily of molecular motors that use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to transport cargo along microtubules, serving essential roles in a wide variety of cellular processes, most notably mitosis and neuronal transport | Homo sapiens |
additional information | atomic models for no-nucleotide and ATP states of the monomeric kinesin motor domain on microtubules from cryo-electronmicrosopy reconstructions at 5-6 A resolution, overview. Microtubule attachment, mediated by a universally conserved linchpin residue in kinesin (N255), triggers a clamshell opening of the nucleotide cleft and accompanying release of ADP, modeling of crystal structures of ADP-bound enzyme and mechanism. Binding of ATP re-closes the cleft in a manner that tightly couples to translocation of cargo, via kinesin's neck linker element. These structural transitions are reminiscent of the analogous nucleotide-exchange steps in the myosin and F1-ATPase motors and inform how the two heads of a kinesin dimer gate each other to promote coordinated stepping along microtubules. Kinesin-1 dimerizes via an extended stalk domain that forms a coiled coil, so that the two catalytic motor domains are situated at one end of the coiled-coil, while cargo-binding domains are found at the opposite end. During active motility, the dimerized motor domains take alternating, eight nanometer steps toward the microtubule plus end, tracking along single protofilaments | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | microtubule-based transport by the kinesin motors, powered by ATP hydrolysis, is essential for a wide range of vital processes in eukaryotes | Homo sapiens |
