Kinesin-1 Autoinhibition Tunes Cargo Transport by Motor Ensembles

Brandon M. Bensel, Samantha Beck Previs, Patricia M. Fagnant, Kathleen M. Trybus, Sam Walcott, David M. Warshaw

This study investigates how kinesin-1 autoinhibition affects cargo transport through 3D microtubule intersections, showing that autoinhibited motors reduce MT engagement and alter directional outcomes.

Modeling myosin Va liposome transport through actin filament networks reveals a percolation threshold that modulates transport properties

Sam Walcott, David M. Warshaw

The paper models myosin Va liposome transport through actin networks, finding a percolation threshold that determines transport behavior based on actin density and cargo size.
