TRAK adaptors regulate the recruitment and activation of dynein and kinesin in mitochondrial transport

The mechanisms of microtubule-based mitochondrial transport remain poorly understood. Here, the authors show that the mitochondrial TRAK adaptors activate the dynein-dynactin complex, enhance the motility of kinesin, and can scaffold both motors to control bidirectional transport.
