Effect of Kinesin-5 Tail Domain on Motor Dynamics for Antiparallel Microtubule Sliding

Effect of Kinesin-5 Tail Domain on Motor Dynamics for Antiparallel Microtubule Sliding

Kinesin-5 motor consists of two pairs of heads and tail domains, which are situated at the opposite ends of a common stalk. The two pairs of heads can bind to two antiparallel microtubules (MTs) and move on the two MTs independently towards the plus ends, sliding apart the two MTs, which is responsi...
