Kinetic asymmetry drives kinesin-1's unidirectional and processive movement

Hiroshi Isojima, Kohei Matsuzaki, Michio Tomishige

This study investigates how kinesin-1 moves unidirectionally by comparing biased-diffusion and biased-binding mechanisms, finding that kinetic asymmetry in binding and detachment drives its processive motion.

Kinetic regulation of kinesin's two motor domains coordinates its stepping along microtubules

Yamato Niitani, Kohei Matsuzaki, Erik Jönsson…·Michio Tomishige

This study investigates how the neck linker's conformation affects kinesin-1's stepping mechanism by analyzing its kinetic effects on ATP and microtubule interactions.
