Plant Intracellular Transport: Tracing Functions of the Retrograde Kinesin

Curr Biol. 2015 Sep 21;25(18):R808-10. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2015.08.011.

Abstract

Adding to its varied repertoire of functions in cell morphogenesis and cell division, a molecular motor protein of the kinesin-14 class has recently been implicated in rapid retrograde transport along cellular tracks in moss.
