Kinesin-8 family members function in microtubule length control and exhibit highly processive plus-end directed motility in conjunction with microtubule dissassembly activity. In a recent issue of Cell, Varga and colleagues describe how these two activities may be used to simultaneously measure and adjust the length of cellular microtubules.
驱动蛋白-8家族成员在微管长度控制中发挥作用，并在微管拆卸活性的协同作用下表现出高度持续的正端定向运动。在最近一期的《细胞》杂志上，瓦尔加及其同事描述了如何利用这两种活性同时测量和调整细胞微管的长度。
