![]() | ![]() Title: Cryo-EM unveils kinesin KIF1A's processivity mechanism and the impact of its pathogenic variant P305L. Authors: Matthieu P M H Benoit / Lu Rao / Ana B Asenjo / Arne Gennerich / Hernando Sosa / ![]() Abstract: Mutations in the microtubule-associated motor protein KIF1A lead to severe neurological conditions known as KIF1A-associated neurological disorders (KAND). Despite insights into its molecular ...Mutations in the microtubule-associated motor protein KIF1A lead to severe neurological conditions known as KIF1A-associated neurological disorders (KAND). Despite insights into its molecular mechanism, high-resolution structures of KIF1A-microtubule complexes remain undefined. Here, we present 2.7-3.5 Å resolution structures of dimeric microtubule-bound KIF1A, including the pathogenic P305L mutant, across various nucleotide states. Our structures reveal that KIF1A binds microtubules in one- and two-heads-bound configurations, with both heads exhibiting distinct conformations with tight inter-head connection. Notably, KIF1A's class-specific loop 12 (K-loop) forms electrostatic interactions with the C-terminal tails of both α- and β-tubulin. The P305L mutation does not disrupt these interactions but alters loop-12's conformation, impairing strong microtubule-binding. Structure-function analysis reveals the K-loop and head-head coordination as major determinants of KIF1A's superprocessive motility. Our findings advance the understanding of KIF1A's molecular mechanism and provide a basis for developing structure-guided therapeutics against KAND. | ||||||||||||||||||
