Mutations in a Kinesin-3 prevent synapse formation at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction, although axon outgrowth and guidance are normal. Not only are synaptic vesicles stranded in the cell soma but also form few active zones and growth cones do not undergo the correct remodeling into boutons. The phenotype illustrates the selectivity of this Kinesin-3 motor for synaptogenesis.

An intriguing case is made for syntabulin as an adaptor protein between kif5B and vesicles carrying active zone components. Tagged syntabulin and bassoon colocalize on a subset of PTVs that move anterogradely. RNAi against syntabulin reduced axonal and increased somatic bassoon indicating that syntabulin is not only another active zone protein but is also engaged in transport.

JNK, a MAP kinase, is known to bind JIP1, a kinesin adaptor protein, and is transported down the axon. This paper shows that the ubiquitinylation, MAPKKK, and JNK pathway that controls synapse number at the fly NMJ also controls the association of kinesin light chain with JIP1. Kinesin-associated JNK therefore is a regulator of kinesin-cargo interactions-a possible explanation for the synaptic phenotypes of the signaling pathway.

EMBO J 27 (2008) 2124-2134. The authors show that the direction of trafficking of a vesicle can be controlled by whether or not kinesin is recruited to the vesicle. Recruitment is promoted by the phosphorylation of Huntingtin by Akt, placing Huntingtin at a key control point for axonal transport.

The authors offer a mechanism by which Huntingtin (Htt) participates in retrograde transport. Htt binds directly to dynein intermediate chain and serves as a scaffold for motor interactions with cargos. Antibodies to Htt compromised vesicle movements on microtubules in both directions, consistent with Htt interactions with kinesin as well.

Nat Neurosci 9 (2006) 1488-1498. Examining a set of en passant synapses made by a selected C. elegans neuron, the authors focus on two active zone proteins, syd-1 and the kinesin-associated protein syd-2/liprinα, to determine which active zone and synaptic vesicle components depend on them for incorporation into the synapse. In the process, they also sort out which synaptic molecules and organelles depend on the Kinesin-3 motor unc-104.

Cell 132 (2008) 137-148. By video microscopy, the authors show that syntaphilin is selectively on immobile mitochondria within axons and a knockout for this gene increases the percentage of motile mitochondria. Syntaphilin, they conclude, can anchor mitochondria in place by binding them to microtubules.
