Function
KN14E_ARATH Minus-end microtubule-dependent motor protein involved in the regulation of cell division and trichome morphogenesis through microtubules bundling. Possesses basal and microtubule-stimulated ATPase activities. Acts as a hub that brings together microtubules and actin filaments to modulate the cytoskeleton during trichome formation and morphogenesis (PubMed:26287478). Could be involved in the negative regulation of root growth (PubMed:25262228).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Much of the transport, tension, and movement in mitosis depends on kinesins, the ATP-powered microtubule-based motors. We report the crystal structure of a kinesin complex, the mitotic kinesin KCBP bound to its principal regulator KIC. Shown to be a Ca(2+) sensor, KIC works as an allosteric trap. Extensive intermolecular interactions with KIC stabilize kinesin in its ADP-bound conformation. A critical component of the kinesin motile mechanism, called the neck mimic, switches its association from kinesin to KIC, stalling the motor. KIC denies access of the motor to its track by steric interference. Two major features of this regulation, allosteric trapping and steric blocking, are likely to be general for all kinesins.
