Pathogenic mutations in the kinesin-3 motor KIF1A diminish force generation and movement through allosteric mechanisms

The kinesin-3 motor KIF1A functions in neurons, where its fast and superprocessive motility facilitates long-distance transport, but little is known about its force-generating properties. Using optical tweezers, we demonstrate that KIF1A stalls at an opposing load of ~3 pN but more frequently detach...
