Abstract

The functional significance of Kinesin-1 autoinhibition has been unclear. Kinesin-1 transports multiple cargoes including cytoplasmic dynein to microtubule plus ends. From a genetic screen for Aspergillus mutants defective in dynein-mediated early endosome transport, we identified a kinesin-1 mutation kinAK895* at the C-terminal IAK motif involved in autoinhibition. The kinA∆IAK and kinAK895E mutants exhibited a similar defect in dynein-mediated early endosome transport, verifying the importance of kinesin-1 autoinhibition in dynein-mediated transport. Kinesin-1 autoinhibition is not critical for dynein accumulation at microtubule plus ends or for the secretory vesicle cargoes of kinesin-1 to reach the hyphal tip. However, it facilitates dynein to initiate early endosome transport. This is unrelated to a direct competition between dynein and kinesin-1 on early endosomes because kinesin-3 rather than kinesin-1 drives the plus-end-directed early endosome movement. This effect of kinesin-1 autoinhibition on dynein-mediated early endosome transport is related to cargo adapter-mediated dynein activation but at a step beyond the switching of dynein from its autoinhibited conformation.
