Single-molecule investigation of the interference between kinesin, tau and MAP2c
Open accessAbstract
Motor proteins and microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) play important roles in cellular transport, regulation of shape and polarity of cells. While motor proteins generate motility, MAPs are thought to stabilize the microtubule tracks. However, the proteins also interfere with each other, such that MAPs are able to inhibit transport of vesicles and organelles in cells. In order to investigate the mechanism of MAP-motor interference in molecular detail, we have studied single kinesin molecules by total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy in the presence of different neuronal MAPs (tau, MAP2c). The parameters observed included run-length (a measure of processivity), velocity and frequency of attachment. The main effect of MAPs was to reduce the attachment frequency of motors. This effect was dependent on the concentration, the affinity to microtubules and the domain composition of MAPs. In contrast, once attached, the motors did not show a change in speed, nor in their run-length. The results suggest that MAPs can regulate motor activity on the level of initial attachment, but not during motion.

MAP2 has been shown to block the path of kinesin motors in in vitro assays.
“MAP2 has been shown to block the path of kinesin motors in in vitro assays (46, 47, 48, 49, 50).”
From Active transport by cytoplasmic dynein sustains dendritic MAP2 localization in developing neurons (2026) · cites this paper as [49]
The Discussion says that MAPs, including MAP2c, are obstacles to kinesin attachment, not to its movement along a microtubule. The Abstract likewise reports reduced attachment frequency but no change in speed or run-length once a motor is attached. Thus this in vitro study does not show MAP2 blocking the path of moving kinesin motors. (LLM, conf=0.89)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
