Understanding the role of transport velocity in biomotor-powered microtubule spool assembly
Amanda J. Tan, Dail E. Chapman, Linda S. Hirst +1
We examined the sensitivity of microtubule spools to transport velocity. Perhaps surprisingly, we determined that the steady-state number and size of spools remained constant over…
Microtubule Defects Influence Kinesin-Based Transport In Vitro
Winnie H. Liang, Qiaochu Li, K. M. Rifat Faysal +3
Microtubules are protein polymers that form "molecular highways" for long-range transport within living cells. Molecular motors actively step along microtubules to shuttle cellular…
Quantitative Determination of the Probability of Multiple-Motor Transport in Bead-Based Assays
Qiaochu Li, Stephen J. King, Ajay Gopinathan +1
With their longest dimension typically being less than 100 nm, molecular motors are significantly below the optical-resolution limit. Despite substantial advances in fluorescence-b…
A Simple Experimental Model to Investigate Force Range for Membrane Nanotube Formation
Chai Lor, Joseph D. Lopes, Michelle K. Mattson-Hoss +2
The presence of membrane tubules in living cells is essential to many biological processes. In cells, one mechanism to form nanosized lipid tubules is via molecular motor induced b…
