On the origin of the ionic strength control of the motility of kinesin-14.

Kinesin-14 motors are a special class of the kinesin family proteins that walk toward the minus end along the microtubule. It has the reverse directionality compared to the general conventional kinesins. The motility of kinesin-14 has been found to depend on the ionic strength. That is, when the ionic strength changes,...
