Abstract

Background: Single molecules of the kinesin-5 Cin8 were previously demonstrated to be minus-end-directed under highionic- strength conditions. Results: Under high-ionic-strength conditions, Cin8 lacking the tail domain is bidirectional. Conclusion: The tail domain is one of the factors that regulate Cin8 directionality. Significance: An important structural element was identified that regulates the directionality of kinesin-5 motors.
