چکیده
As you can see from their comments, both referees are very supportive of your work, but referee #2 points out to a number of significant concerns that will require your attention before your manuscript can be published in The EMBO Journal. I will not repeat here the referee concerns, which in many cases refer to clarifications and further discussion but may require additional experimental evidence. I believe are rather straightforward, but in any case, please contact me if you have any questions, need further input on the referee comments or if you anticipate any problems.

Microtubule-binding protein doublecortin-like kinase 1 (DCLK1) guides kinesin-3-mediated cargo transport to dendrites.
In neurons, the polarized distribution of vesicles and other cellular materials is established through molecular motors that steer selective transport between axons and dendrites. It is currently unclear whether interactions between kinesin motors and microtubule-binding proteins can steer polarized transport. By screening all 45 kinesin family members, we systematically addressed which kinesin...
متن کاملMolecular Basis for Specific Regulation of Neuronal Kinesin-3 Motors by Doublecortin Family Proteins
Doublecortin (Dcx) defines a growing family of microtubule (MT)-associated proteins (MAPs) involved in neuronal migration and process outgrowth. We show that Dcx is essential for the function of Kif1a, a kinesin-3 motor protein that traffics synaptic vesicles. Neurons lacking Dcx and/or its structurally conserved paralogue, doublecortin-like kinase 1 (Dclk1), show impaired Kif1a-mediated transp...
متن کاملDoublecortin-like kinase enhances dendritic remodelling and negatively regulates synapse maturation
Dendritic morphogenesis and formation of synapses at appropriate dendritic locations are essential for the establishment of proper neuronal connectivity. Recent imaging studies provide evidence for stabilization of dynamic distal branches of dendrites by the addition of new synapses. However, molecules involved in both dendritic growth and suppression of synapse maturation remain to be identifi...
متن کاملFluvastatin Interferes with Hepatitis C Virus Replication via Microtubule Bundling and a Doublecortin-like Kinase-Mediated Mechanism
Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-induced alterations in lipid metabolism and cellular protein expression contribute to viral pathogenesis. The mechanism of pleiotropic actions of cholesterol-lowering drugs, statins, against HCV and multiple cancers are not well understood. We investigated effects of fluvastatin (FLV) on microtubule-associated and cancer stem cell marker (CSC), doublecortin-like kinase 1...
متن کاملDifferentiation between Oppositely Oriented Microtubules Controls Polarized Neuronal Transport
Microtubules are essential for polarized transport in neurons, but how their organization guides motor proteins to axons or dendrites is unclear. Because different motors recognize distinct microtubule properties, we used optical nanoscopy to examine the relationship between microtubule orientations, stability, and modifications. Nanometric tracking of motors to super-resolve microtubules and d...
