This study shows that neuronal kinesin-1 (KIF5C) forms tetramers through dimer-dimer association, with conformational activation promoting this higher-order assembly.

The paper shows UNC-83 isoforms differentially regulate kinesin-1 and dynein to control nuclear migration directionality during development.

This study shows that Kid (KIF22) forms a homodimer, moves processively along microtubules, and transports double-stranded DNA, reclassifying it as a processive and dimeric motor.
