Abstract:
:Whereas most kinesins motor along microtubules, KinI kinesins are microtubule depolymerizing machines. Surprisingly, we found that a KinI fragment consisting of only the motor core is capable of ATP-dependent depolymerization. The motor binds along microtubules in all nucleotide states, but in the presence of AMPPNP, microtubule depolymerization also occurs. Structural characterization of the products of AMPPNP-induced destabilization revealed a snapshot of the disassembly machine in action as it precisely deformed a tubulin dimer. While conventional kinesins use the energy of ATP binding to execute a "powerstroke," KinIs use it to bend the underlying protofilament. Thus, the relatively small class-specific differences within the KinI motor core modulate a fundamentally conserved mode of interaction with microtubules to produce a unique depolymerizing activity.

MOLECULAR CELL文献大全abstract::Ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis is an important mechanism that suppresses the beta-catenin transcription factor in cells without Wnt stimulation. A critical step in this regulatory pathway is to create a SCF(beta-TrCP) E3 ubiquitin ligase binding site for beta-catenin. Here we show that the SCF(beta-TrCP) binding site...
