| Summary: | <p>Abstract</p> <p>Kinesin-14 motor proteins step towards microtubule minus ends, in the opposite direction to other kinesins. Work on the still-enigmatic kinesin-14 mechanism published in <it>BMC Structural Biology </it>shows that the carboxyl terminus of the motor head undergoes a dock-undock cycle, like that of plus-end-directed kinesins.</p> <p>See research article: <url>http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6807/10/19</url></p> |
