Where this comes from

Abstract

Kin Is, kinesins with an internal catalytic domain, de-polymerize microtubules from both ends, and the KIF2C crystal structure presented by ([this issue of Cell]) provides provocative evidence to support the theory that the highly conserved sequences are critical structural elements in these catastrophic kinesins.
