additional information |
construction of a single-headed Ncd heterodimer in which one polypeptide consists of an intact Ncd catalytic core and neck (residues 280700) and the second polypeptide consists of the neck region alone (residues 281347). This motor elicits microtubule gliding at a velocity comparable to that of the normal twoheaded Ncd homodimer with a similar ATPase kcat-value |
