Resumen de The kinesin-13 MCAK has an unconventional ATPase cycle adapted for microtubule depolymerization

Claire T Friel, Jonathon Howard

• Most kinesins move directionally along microtubules, but MCAK instead depolymerizes them. This study analyses the ATPase cycle of MCAK, identifying unusual kinetic features that fit with its unconventional activity.
