This study shows that neuronal kinesin-1 (KIF5C) forms tetramers through dimer-dimer association, with conformational activation promoting this higher-order assembly.

The paper shows UNC-83 isoforms differentially regulate kinesin-1 and dynein to control nuclear migration directionality during development.

This study characterizes KIF1Bβ motor activity using single-molecule assays and C. elegans genetics, showing reduced activity due to a disease mutation.

The paper investigates the role of the FHA domain in regulating dimerization of DmUNC-104 and links abnormal dimerization to human diseases.

This study shows that Kid (KIF22) forms a homodimer, moves processively along microtubules, and transports double-stranded DNA, reclassifying it as a processive and dimeric motor.
