Cancer Biology PhD candidate @UMich in the @R_Ohi_Lab, studying regulation of kinesin activity. Plant enthusiast🪴. She/her.

We know disruptions to the commercial supply chain have far-reaching impacts — the same is true inside our cells. Now, a @ScienceAdvances study sheds new light on how the cell's 'delivery trucks' are regulated to maintain a healthy cellular supply chain. myumi.ch/WJxXW

1/ Excited to share our work on how kinesin binding protein (KIFBP) regulates kinesin! TL;DR: KIFBP remodels the kinesin motor to inhibit microtubule-binding

April Solon from @R_Ohi_Lab examined regulation of the kinesin motor activity by kinesin-binding protein (KBP). She determined high-resolution structures of KBP bound to Kif15 and Kif18A and identified regions critical for the interaction. #SpindleCroatia2021

Finally got to bring my other half to one of the most beautiful places on our island. A place I’ve been going since I was a child. 🙌🏽😁 @ninamariedi
