Cytoplasmic microtubule sliding <subtitle>An unconventional function of conventional kinesin</subtitle> by Amber L. Jolly, Vladimir I. Gelfand

“…While both occur during mitosis, our recent findings demonstrate that both functions may occur simultaneously in interphase cells as well. We find that kinesin-1 (a motor known for its role in transporting cargo along microtubule tracks) powers microtubule sliding in non-dividing cells and this mechanism is used to form cellular protrusions.…”
