How do plant kinesins work at the single-molecule level? We break it all down in our new review "Plant kinesins: a bottom-up approach - from single molecules to function" published in JXB @jxbotany.bsky.social 🎉 Check it out: doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... #Plant #Kinesin #SingleMolecule #ZMBP

Plant kinesins: a bottom-up approach – from single molecules to function

Abstract. During land colonisation, plants evolved new microtubule structures that have no functional analogues in opisthokonts, namely animals and fungi.

Another study from the lab🔬🎉 Our paper, "The tail domain of the plant kinesin-12 POK2 is a versatile interaction hub" is now published in the Journal of Cell Science! Check it out: doi.org/10.1242/jcs.... #PlantCellBiology #Kinesin #CellDivision #Microtubules #ZMBP

The tail domain of the plant kinesin-12 POK2 is a versatile interaction hub

Summary: In vitro reconstitution experiments reveal that the tail domain of the kinesin-12 POK2 interacts with microtubules, MAP65-3 and lipids as a possible mechanism for division site deposition and...
