TY - JOUR AU - Mandelkow, Eckhard AU - Hoenger, Andreas TI - Structures of kinesin and kinesin–microtubule interactions JO - Current opinion in cell biology VL - 11 IS - 1 SN - 0955-0674 CY - Amsterdam [u.a.] PB - Elsevier M1 - PUBDB-2017-09758 SP - 34 - 44 PY - 1999 N1 - F-Bereich; Max-Planck-Gesellschaft AB - Several X-ray crystal structures of kinesin motor domains have recently been solved at high resolution (∼0.2–0.3 nm), in both their monomeric and dimeric states. They show the folding of the polypeptide chain and different arrangements of subunits in the dimer. In addition, cryo-electron microscopy and image reconstruction have revealed microtubules decorated with kinesin at intermediate resolution (∼2 nm), showing the distribution and orientation of kinesin heads on the microtubule surface. The comparison of the X-ray and electron microscopy results yields a model of how monomeric motor domains bind to the microtubule but the binding of dimeric motors, their stoichiometry, or the influence of nucleotides remains a matter of debate.
