Preferential binding of a kinesin-1 motor to GTP-tubulin–rich microtubules underlies polarized vesicle transport

Polarized transport in neurons is fundamental for the formation of neuronal circuitry. A motor domain–containing truncated KIF5 (a kinesin-1) recognizes axonal microtubules, which are enriched in EB1 binding sites, and selectively accumulates at the tips of axons. However, it remains unknown what cu...
