Mitotic Kinesins: a Reason to Delve into Kinesin-12
Overview
Authors

The failure of kinesin-targeting cancer drugs is thought to result from functional redundancy of mitotic kinesins. A new study provides mechanistic insights into kinesin-12 that help to explain its targeting to kinetochore fibers and its ability to compensate for inhibition of kinesin-5.
