| + | Kinesin is an ATP-dependent motor protein responsible for the transportation of cargo. It is a heterotetramer composed of light and heavy chains. | ||
| - | + | == '''Function''' == | |
| + | * Moving cargo usually from the center of the cell to the margins <br/> | ||
| + | * Involved in cell replication and axonal signaling | ||
| + | == '''Disease''' == | ||
| + | *Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT): Charcot Marie Tooth is one of many diseases that affect the peripheral nervous system. Individuals may suffer physical disabilities due to weakness in transmission of signals firing from the central nervous system | ||

| - | + | ;Scene #2: This is the ATP binding site. Upon the binding of phosphate to ADP, ATP is formed giving Kinesin the energy needed to move the cargo one step a head to its destination <scene name='75/752263/Atp_binding_site/5'> ATP-binding site </scene> | |
| - | == | + | ;Scene #3: This is the Microtubule-binding site, where Kinesin binds to microtubules for stability <scene name='75/752263/Mt-binding_site/1'> MT-binding site </scene> |
| + | |||
| + | ;Scene #4: some patients with CMT show mutation in the p-loop. A missense mutation results in a leucine in place of glutamine affecting signal transmission <scene name='75/752263/Cmt/1'> CMT </scene> | ||
This is a sample scene created with SAT to <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/1">color</scene> by Group, and another to make <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/2">a transparent representation</scene> of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes. | This is a sample scene created with SAT to <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/1">color</scene> by Group, and another to make <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/2">a transparent representation</scene> of the protein.

| - | This is the structure of the yeast CsNMO. <scene name='75/752263/Alpha_beta_sheets/1'>This view</scene> shows the alpha helixes and beta pleated sheets of nitronate monooxygenase. There is eight parallel beta pleaded strands that are depicted in pink surrounded by eight alpha helixes in blue. | ||

| - | FMN Binding site is formed with hydrogen bonds with main chain amino acids of G240, G261, and T262. <scene name='75/752263/Fmn_binding_site/1'>This is a view of the FMN Binding site with labeled amino acid residues.</scene> | ||
| - | The phosphate group of FMN forms a hydrogen bond with the side-chain hydroxyl group of T262. | ||
