This study investigates the bidirectional motility of Cin8 kinesin-5 dimers, finding a plus-end bias and weak inter-head coordination, suggesting directional switching is regulated by coordination levels.

This study identifies a new tubulin binding state on microtubule ends using single-molecule measurements and shows nucleotide effects on stability are allosteric.

This study establishes a quantitative biochemical mechanism for Stu2/XMAP215-family microtubule polymerases, showing they operate like enzymes with TOG domains acting as tubulin-shuttling antennas.
