Cellular Motor Protein KIF-4 Associates with Retroviral Gag
Tang Y,Ulrike Winkler,Eric O. Freed,Ted A. Torrey,Wankee Kim,Henry Li,Stephen P. Goff,Herbert C. Morse +7 more
TL;DR: The possibility that KIF-4 may play an important role in retrovirus Gag protein transport is raised, as it is demonstrated that murine retroviral Gag proteins associate with a cellular motor protein, Kif-4.

Binding of Murine Leukemia Virus Gag Polyproteins to KIF4, a Microtubule-Based Motor Protein
Wankee Kim,Tang Y,Yasushi Okada,Ted A. Torrey,Sisir K. Chattopadhyay,Michael Pfleiderer,Falko G. Falkner,Friedrich Dorner,Wonja Choi,Nobutaka Hirokawa,Herbert C. Morse +10 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that KIF4, a microtubule-associated motor protein that belongs to the kinesin superfamily, could be involved in Gag polyprotein translocation from the cytoplasm to the cell membrane.
Overexpression of OLE1 enhances stress tolerance and constitutively activates the MAPK HOG pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
TL;DR: OLE1‐overexpressing strains displayed enhanced tolerance to various stresses, better proton efflux, lower membrane permeability, and lessened internal hydrogen peroxide content when overexpression of OLE1 was observed.

Cell cycle-regulated expression and subcellular localization of a kinesin-8 member human KIF18B.
Young Mi Lee,Eunjoung Kim,Minjong Park,Eunpyo Moon,Sung-Min Ahn,Woo-Kyung Kim,Kie Bong Hwang,Yong Kwan Kim,Won Ja Choi,Wankee Kim +9 more
TL;DR: Together, the expression of KIF18B is regulated in a cell cycle-dependent manner and therefore may play an important role(s) in cell division.

Endophilins interact with Moloney murine leukemia virus Gag and modulate virion production
Margaret Q. Wang,Wankee Kim,Guangxia Gao,Ted A. Torrey,Herbert C. Morse,Pietro De Camilli,Stephen P. Goff +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that endophilin interacts with the matrix or MA domain of the Gag protein of Mo-MuLV, but not of human immunodeficiency virus, HIV, which implies that endphilin is another component of the large complex that is hijacked by retroviruses to promote virion production.
