1.	Which of the following family of kinesins is incapable of movement along the microtubules?(a) kinesin-1(b) kinesin-3(c) kinesin-13(d) kinesin-14I had been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.Enquiry is from Cytoskeleton in chapter Cytoskeleton and Cell Motility of Cell Biology
Answer» CORRECT answer is (c) kinesin-13 Explanation: Kinesin-13 represents a small family of kinesin-like PROTEINS that are incapable of movement along the microtubules. These bind to EITHER end of the microtubule and bring about its depolymerization.
