Kinesin-8 effects on mitotic microtubule dynamics contribute to spindle function in fission yeast
Zachary Gergely, Ammon Crapo, Loren E. Hough +2
Kinesin-8 motor proteins destabilize microtubules. Their absence during cell division is associated with disorganized mitotic chromosome movements and chromosome loss. Despite rece…

Microtubule depolymerization by the kinesin-8 motor Kip3p: a mathematical model
L. E. Hough, Anne Schwabe, Matthew A. Glaser +2
Proteins from the kinesin-8 family promote microtubule (MT) depolymerization, a process thought to be important for the control of microtubule length in living cells. In addition t…
