This study shows phosphorylated melanophilin biases liposome exit from actin-microtubule intersections toward actin, while dephosphorylated melanophilin biases exit toward microtubules.

This study determines the structure of Plasmodium falciparum MyoB, shows it is a slow motor optimized for force generation during invasion, and identifies its light chain as shared with MyoA.

This study presents the cryo-EM structure of human ATAD2B, revealing its hexameric organization and providing insights into its ATPase activity and substrate coordination.

This study shows BicD and MAP7 work together to activate Drosophila kinesin-1 through distinct mechanisms, enhancing motor activity and microtubule engagement.

This paper identifies a small molecule inhibitor of Plasmodium falciparum myosin A, showing it blocks ATP hydrolysis and parasite growth.
