Nagpal S, Swaminathan K, Beaudet D, Verdier M, Wang S, Berger C, et al.
Cell Rep
. 2024 Aug;
43(8):114649.
PMID: 39159044
Each cargo in a cell employs a unique set of motor proteins for its transport. To dissect the roles of each type of motor, we developed optogenetic inhibitors of endogenous...

J Biol Chem
. 2024 Apr;
300(6):107323.
PMID: 38677516
Organelles and vesicular cargoes are transported by teams of kinesin and dynein motors along microtubules. We isolated endocytic organelles from cells at different stages of maturation and reconstituted their motility...

Queen K, Cario A, Berger C, Stumpff J
Mol Biol Cell
. 2023 Oct;
35(1):ar3.
PMID: 37903223
Kinesins support many diverse cellular processes, including facilitating cell division through mechanical regulation of the mitotic spindle. However, how kinesin activity is controlled to facilitate this process is not well...

Bioessays
. 2023 Jul;
45(8):e2200138.
PMID: 37489532
The etiology of Tauopathies, a diverse class of neurodegenerative diseases associated with the Microtubule Associated Protein (MAP) Tau, is usually described by a common mechanism in which Tau dysfunction results...

J Biol Chem
. 2022 Sep;
298(11):102526.
PMID: 36162501
Regulation of the neuronal microtubule cytoskeleton is achieved through the coordination of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs). MAP-Tau, the most abundant MAP in the axon, functions to modulate motor motility, participate in...

Balabanian L, Lessard D, Swaminathan K, Yaninska P, Sebastien M, Wang S, et al.
Mol Biol Cell
. 2022 Sep;
33(13):ar128.
PMID: 36129768
Microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) modulate the motility of kinesin and dynein along microtubules to control the transport of vesicles and organelles. The neuronal MAP tau inhibits kinesin-dependent transport. Phosphorylation of tau...

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2022 Feb;
119(7).
PMID: 35135879
The microtubule-associated protein (MAP) Tau is an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) primarily expressed in axons, where it functions to regulate microtubule dynamics, modulate motor protein motility, and participate in signaling...

J Biol Chem
. 2019 Feb;
294(16):6353-6363.
PMID: 30770469
The kinesin-3 family member KIF1A plays a critical role in site-specific neuronal cargo delivery during axonal transport. KIF1A cargo is mislocalized in many neurodegenerative diseases, indicating that KIF1A's highly efficient,...

PMID: 30655363
KIF18A (kinesin-8) is required for mammalian mitotic chromosome alignment. KIF18A confines chromosome movement to the mitotic spindle equator by accumulating at the plus-ends of kinetochore microtubule bundles (K-fibers), where it...
