Investigation of multiple-dynein transport of melanosomes by non-invasive force measurement using fluctuation unit
Shin Hasegawa, Takashi Sagawa, Kazuho Ikeda +2
Pigment organelles known as melanosomes disperse or aggregate in a melanophore in response to hormones. These movements are mediated by the microtubule motors kinesin-2 and cytopla…

Non-invasive force measurement reveals the number of active kinesins on a synaptic vesicle precursor in axonal transport regulated by ARL-8
Kumiko Hayashi, Shin Hasegawa, Takashi Sagawa +2
Kinesin superfamily protein UNC-104, a member of the kinesin-3 family, transports synaptic vesicle precursors (SVPs). In this study, the number of active UNC-104 molecules hauling…
