    Diffusive tail anchorage determines velocity and force produced by kinesin-14 between crosslinked microtubules

    Form and function of the mitotic spindle depend on motor proteins that crosslink microtubules and move them relative to each other. Among these are kinesin-14s, such as Ncd, which interact with one microtubule...

    Changes in microtubule overlap length regulate kinesin-14-driven microtubule sliding

    Microtubule sliding driven by kinesin-14 HSET is regulated by a feedback mechanism. When microtubules start sliding apart, HSET molecules are retained in the shortening overlap, which leads to an HSET-density-...
