Microtubule association induces a Mg-free apo-like ADP pre-release conformation in kinesin-1 that is unaffected by its autoinhibitory tail

Joseph Atherton, Magda S. Chegkazi, Marco Leusciatti…·Roberto A. Steiner

This study uses cryo-EM to reveal how microtubule association induces an Mg-free apo-like ADP pre-release conformation in kinesin-1, independent of tail interactions.

A designed high-affinity peptide that hijacks microtubule-based transport

Jessica A. Cross, Magda S. Chegkazi, Roberto A. Steiner…·Mark P. Dodding

The paper designs a high-affinity peptide (KinTag) that hijacks microtubule-based transport by binding KLCTPRs with nanomolar affinity, enhancing cargo transport efficiency.
