KIF1C activates and extends dynein movement through the FHF cargo adapter - Nature Structural & Molecular Biology

Here the authors show that codependence of dynein and kinesin KIF1C occurs through binding of the FTS–HOOK3–FHIP1B cargo adapter. Binding of KIF1C releases the HOOK3 autoinhibited folded conformation allowing dynein to bind the adapter. In this cocomplex, KIF1C further acts as a processivity factor for dynein.

Monitoring of activity-driven trafficking of endogenous synaptic proteins through proximity labeling - PubMed

To enable transmission of information in the brain, synaptic vesicles fuse to presynaptic membranes, liberating their content and exposing transiently a myriad of vesicular transmembrane proteins. However, versatile methods for quantifying the synaptic translocation of endogenous proteins during neu …

Endo-IP and Lyso-IP Toolkit for Endolysosomal Profiling of Human Induced Neurons - PubMed

Plasma membrane protein degradation and recycling is regulated by the endolysosomal system, wherein endosomes bud from the plasma membrane into the cytosol and mature into degradative lysosomes. As such, the endolysosomal system plays a critical role in determining the abundance of proteins on the c …
