Disease relevance of KIF3A

 

High impact information on KIF3A

 

Biological context of KIF3A

 

Anatomical context of KIF3A

  • Inhibition of KIF3A expression caused neurite retraction and inhibited tau mRNA axonal targeting [9].
  • Instead, the data are consistent with a coordinated head model in which detachment of the slow KIF3A head from the microtubule is accelerated roughly threefold by the KIF3B head [10].
  • Recently, we showed that the KIF3A subunit of kinesin II is concentrated in the inner segment and connecting cilium of fish photoreceptors [11].
  • KIF3A/B: a heterodimeric kinesin superfamily protein that works as a microtubule plus end-directed motor for membrane organelle transport [1].
  • In contrast to KIF3A and KIF3B, Northern and Western analysis indicated that KIF3C expression is highly enriched in neural tissues such as brain, spinal cord, and retina [8].
 

Associations of KIF3A with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of KIF3A

  • Third, the KIF3A/A homodimer moves fivefold slower than wild-type, demonstrating distinct functional differences between the two heads [10].
  • These data, combined with previous data from other labs, indicate that KIF3C and KIF3B are "variable" subunits that associate with a common KIF3A subunit, but not with each other [8].
  • Additional immunoprecipitation studies revealed the association of RPGR-ORF15 isoform(s) with the intraflagellar transport polypeptide IFT88 as well as microtubule motor proteins, including KIF3A, p150Glued, and p50-dynamitin [15].
  • Immunofluorescent staining also showed substantial PC2 and KIF3A co-localization in primary cilia of renal epithelial cells [16].
  • Using the yeast two-hybrid assay, we found that PC2 interacts with the microtubule-dependent motor kinesin-2 subunit KIF3A, a protein involved in polycystic kidney disease [16].
