Figure Legend Snippet: SDS-PAGE of kinesin-1 monomers tethered at loop 2 . Untethered monomeric kinesin-1 constructs appear as bands around 38 kDa. Calculated molecular weights for tethered constructs were as follows: 39 kDa (PEG_0.8k), 41 kDa (PEG_2k), 44 kDa (PEG_5k), 45 kDa (20-nt ssDNA), 52 kDa (40-nt ssDNA), 57 kDa (60-nt ssDNA), 45 kDa (20-bp dsDNA), 51 kDa (40-bp dsDNA), and 57 kDa (60-bp dsDNA). Labelling efficiencies were 61–100 % for PEG, 7–45 % for ssDNA, and 22–49 % for dsDNA.
Techniques Used: SDS Page, Construct
Figure Legend Snippet: In vitro microtubule gliding assay . (a) Scheme of the in vitro microtubule gliding assay. Single-headed kinesins are tethered to the streptavidin-coated glass surface via tethers using biotin-avidin conjugation. (b) Image of fluorescent microtubules bound to surface-tethered kinesin motor domains via 40-bp DNA linkers. (c) Kymographs of gliding-microtubules driven by kinesin motor domains tethered at loop-2 via PEG_5k, 20-nt ssDNA, and 20-bp dsDNA linkers.
Techniques Used: In Vitro, Gliding Assay, Avidin-Biotin Assay, Conjugation Assay
