This study identifies a conserved 310-helix in KIF1A critical for motor function and human health, showing that the P305L mutation disrupts microtubule association and motor performance.

This study identifies autophosphorylation as a mechanism regulating DCLK1 kinase activity and microtubule binding affinity, offering insights into its role in cancer.

This study shows that combinations of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) influence motor-cargo transport directionality, suggesting a combinatorial MAP code that biases microtubule movement.

The paper shows microtubules regulate tau condensation, which spatially controls microtubule severing enzymes and motor movement.
