2 Figure 1 Molecular Mechanisms of Axonal Transport
Microtubule motor proteins kinesin and dynein drive the movement of organelles, vesicles, RNA granules, and proteins along the axon. Kinesins drive anterograde transport outward from the soma, and dynein drives retrograde transport back from distal axon. However, most cargos have both motor types bound simultaneously. Cargo-bound motors are regulated by organelle-specific complements of scaffolding and adaptor proteins. To avoid either distal accumulation or distal depletion of cellular components, anterograde and retrograde axonal transport must be in balance.
