Abstract
Kinesin motors are specialized enzymes that use hydrolysis of ATP to generate force and movement along their cellular tracks, the microtubules. Although numerous biochemical and biophysical studies have accumulated much data that link microtubule-assisted ATP hydrolysis to kinesin motion, the structural view of kinesin movement remains unclear. This study of the monomeric kinesin motor KIF1A combines X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy, and allows analysis of force-generating conformational changes at atomic resolution. The motor is revealed in its two functionally critical states-complexed with ADP and with a non-hydrolysable analogue of ATP. The conformational change observed between the ADP-bound and the ATP-like structures of the KIF1A catalytic core is modular, extends to all kinesins and is similar to the conformational change used by myosin motors and G proteins. Docking of the ADP-bound and ATP-like crystallographic models of KIF1A into the corresponding cryo-electron microscopy maps suggests a rationale for the plus-end directional bias associated with the kinesin catalytic core.

Figure 2: Nucleotide-dependent movements of the mechanical elements of kinesin motors. a, Reorientation of the neck linker between the ADP (yellow) and ATP-like (red) states of KIF1A. b, Superposition of the switch II clusters of the plus-end-directed kinesins. Conformation of the switch II cluster (ADP or ATP-like, yellow and red, respectively) controls position of the kinesin neck linker in all structures. Helix 6 is shown in blue. c, Hypothetical model for the nucleotide-dependent dynamics at the core/neck interface of the minus-end-directed motor ncd^9. The colours are the same as in a and b. The switch II cluster and the neck in ATP state are dashed. Conserved residues essential for stabilization of the neck/core interface in the ADP state of the ncd^9 are labelled.

For comparison, its orientation in the ATP-like state is indicated by the orange grid and pink line. d, Docking of the ADP-bound KIF1A crystal structure into electron-microscopy-derived 22 Å resolution map.
