Anchoring geometry is a significant factor in determining the direction of kinesin-14 motility on microtubules
Abstract Kinesin-14 microtubule-based motors have an N-terminal tail attaching the catalytic core to its load and usually move towards microtubule minus ends, whilst most other kinesins have a C-terminal tail and move towards plus ends. Loss of conserved sequences external to the motor domain causes...
