We now report high-resolution structures showing new transitions in the kinesin mechanochemical cycle, including power stroke fluctuations upon ATP binding and a post-hydrolysis state with bound ADP + free phosphate. We find that rate-limiting ADP release occurs upon microtubule binding, accompanied by central β-sheet twisting, which triggers the power stroke - stalk rotation and neck mimic docking - upon ATP binding. Microtubule release occurs with β-strand-to-loop transitions, implying that β-strand refolding induces Pi release and the recovery stroke. The strained β-sheet during the power stroke and strand-to-loop transitions identify the β-sheet as the long-sought motor spring. |
