KEGG   ENZYME: 5.6.1.3
Entry
EC 5.6.1.3                  Enzyme                                 
Name
plus-end-directed kinesin ATPase;
kinesin
Class
Isomerases;
Isomerases altering macromolecular conformation;
Enzymes altering polypeptide conformation or assembly
Sysname
kinesin ATP phosphohydrolase (plus-end-directed)
Reaction(IUBMB)
ATP + H2O + a kinesin associated with a microtubule at position n = ADP + phosphate a kinesin associated with a microtubule at position n+1 (toward the plus end)
Substrate
ATP [CPD:C00002];
H2O [CPD:C00001];
kinesin associated with a microtubule at position n
Product
ADP [CPD:C00008];
phosphate a kinesin associated with a microtubule at position n+1 (toward the plus end)
Comment
Kinesins are a family of motor proteins that move unidirectionally along microtubules as they hydrolyse ATP. The enzymes described here move towards the plus end of the microtubule, in contrast to EC 5.6.1.2, dynein ATPase and EC 5.6.1.4, minus-end-directed kinesin ATPase. They are involved in organelle movement in mitosis and meiosis, and also power vesicular trafficking toward the synapse in neurons. The motor domain, which contains the ATP- and microtubule-binding activities, is located at the N-terminus while the C-terminus links to the cargo being transported.
History
EC 5.6.1.3 created 2000 as 3.6.4.4, transferred 2018 to EC 5.6.1.3
