    basic FUNCTION
  • act as microtubule-based molecular motors involved in intracellular transport
  • podosome regulation
  • microtubule motor KIF1C contributes to persistent cell migration primarily through stabilization of an extended cell rear
  • may likely be involved in transport around the Golgi apparatus rather than only Golgi-to-ER transport
  • the kinesin KIF1C is known to regulate podosomes, actin-rich adhesion structures that remodel the extracellular matrix during physiological processes
  • KIF1C is a player in the podosome-inducing signaling cascade
  • KIF1C can protect Golgi membranes from fragmentation in cells lacking an intact microtubule network
  • KIF1A or KIF1C must have an effect on the cycle of division before differentiation
    • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS cellular trafficking transport

    small molecule
    protein
  • PTPD1
  • transports RAB6A-vesicles and can influence Golgi complex organization
  • RAB6A binding to the motor domain inhibits microtubule interaction and in cells, decreasing the amount of motile KIF1C

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • kif1C(-/-) mice are viable and showed no obvious abnormalities
  • no significant difference in the distribution of the Golgi apparatus or in the transport from the Golgi apparatus to the endoplasmic reticulum in fibroblasts from kif1C(-/-) mice
  • Expression of mutation constructs or small interfering RNA-/short hairpin RNA-based depletion of KIF1C resulted in decreased podosome dynamics and ultimately in podosome deficiency
