Tubulin acetylation alone does not affect kinesin-1 velocity and run length in vitro.

Tubulin acetylation alone does not affect kinesin-1 velocity and run length in vitro.

Kinesin-1 plays a major role in anterograde transport of intracellular cargo along microtubules. Currently, there is an ongoing debate of whether α-tubulin K40 acetylation directly enhances the velocity of kinesin-1 and its affinity to the microtubule track. We compared motor motility on microtubule...
