The architecture of kinesin-3 KLP-6 reveals a multilevel-lockdown mechanism for autoinhibition

Autoinhibition ensures the proper spatiotemporal control of the kinesin-3 motor activity. Here, the authors present the full-length structure of kinesin-3 KLP-6 in an autoinhibited state and observe that all the internal domains entwine around the motor domain via a multilevel-lockdown mechanism.
