KobA mediates kinesin-1-dependent transport of dynein-dynactin to microtubule plus ends

Rongde Qiu, Marisa Delgado, Jun Zhang, Mario Pinar, Paula Polonio, Miguel A Penalva, Xin Xiang

This study identifies KobA as a kinesin-1-binding protein that facilitates dynein-dynactin transport to microtubule plus ends in Aspergillus nidulans.

Excess p50 induces Arp1-dependent dynactin clusters containing the assembly factor VezA

Jun Zhang, Rongde Qiu, Xin Xiang

The paper shows that excess p50 induces Arp1-dependent dynactin clusters containing VezA in A. nidulans, revealing a role for p50-Arp1 interactions in trapping VezA.

The mitotic kinesin-14 KlpA contains a context-dependent directionality switch

Andrew R Popchock, Kuo-Fu Tseng, Pan Wang, P. Andrew Karplus, Xin Xiang, Weihong Qiu

This study shows that the kinesin-14 KlpA switches directionality depending on context, moving minus end-directed in bundles but plus end-directed on individual microtubules.
