Microtubule-based cargo transport relies on the actions of dynein and kinesins, motors that walk in opposite directions yet act together to ensure appropriate distribution of cargos in cells. Research now provides mechanistic insights into how these seemingly antagonistic motors collaborate, rather than compete, to promote each other’s activities.
基于微管的货物运输依赖于动力蛋白和驱动蛋白的作用,这些分子马达沿相反方向移动,但共同作用以确保货物在细胞中的适当分布。现在的研究提供了关于这些看似相互拮抗的分子马达如何协作而非竞争以促进彼此活性的机制性见解。
