Kinesin: switch I & II and the motor mechanism.
New crystal structures of the kinesin motors differ from previously described motor-ADP atomic models, showing striking changes both in the switch I region near the nucleotide-binding cleft and in the switch II or 'relay' helix at the filament-binding face of the motor. The switch I region, present as a short helix flanked by two loops in previous motor-ADP structures, rearranges into a pseudo-...
متن کاملKinesin switch in neurites
B efore axon specifi cation, seemingly identical neurites are not so alike after all. New research from Catherine Jacobson, Bruce Schnapp, and Gary Banker (Oregon Heath & Science Center, Portland, OR) reveals a hitherto unseen biochemical distinction in neurites of developing neurons. The distinction was noted while visualizing a constitutive version of the Kinesin-1 motor, which in mature neur...
متن کاملCharacterization of kinesin switch I mutations that cause hereditary spastic paraplegia
Kif5A is a neuronally-enriched isoform of the Kinesin-1 family of cellular transport motors. 23 separate mutations in the motor domain of Kif5A have been identified in patients with the complicated form of hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). We performed in vitro assays on dimeric recombinant Kif5A with HSP-causing mutations in the Switch I domain, which participates in the coordination and hy...
متن کاملThe structural switch of nucleotide-free kinesin
Kinesin-1 is an ATP-dependent motor protein that moves towards microtubules (+)-ends. Whereas structures of isolated ADP-kinesin and of complexes with tubulin of apo-kinesin and of ATP-like-kinesin are available, structural data on apo-kinesin-1 in the absence of tubulin are still missing, leaving the role of nucleotide release in the structural cycle unsettled. Here, we identified mutations in...
متن کاملThe kinetic properties of switch antimetabolites.
BACKGROUND Maintaining homeostasis is the biological function of negative feedback, a process that plays a well-understood role in the biochemistry of antimetabolite drugs. An equally important property of living systems--the ability to respond to external stimuli by switching rapidly from one state to another--is mediated by positive feedback. Kinetic analysis of multi-enzyme biochemical pathw...
