Simulations suggest robust microtubule attachment of kinesin and dynein in antagonistic pairs

T.-C. Ma, A. M. Gicking, Q. Feng, W. O. Hancock

The paper uses simulations to study kinesin and dynein motor dynamics in bidirectional transport, finding that matched stall forces and independent detachment rates best replicate experimental velocity distributions.

Kinesin-1, -2 and -3 motors use family-specific mechanochemical strategies to effectively compete with dynein during bidirectional transport

A. M. Gicking, T.-C. Ma, Q. Feng, R. Jiang, S. Badieyan, M. A. Cianfrocco, W. O. Hancock

The paper investigates how kinesin-1, -2, and -3 motors compete with dynein during bidirectional transport and finds that all three families can withstand hindering loads through distinct kinetic strategies.
