Plant development and morphology relies on the accurate insertion of new cell walls during cytokinesis. However, how a plant cell correctly orients a new wall is poorly understood. Two kinesin class-12 members, phragmoplast orienting kinesin 1 (POK1) and POK2, are involved in the process, but how these molecular machines work is not known. Here, we used in vivo and single-molecule in vitro measurements to determine how Arabidopsis thaliana POK2 motors function mechanically. We found that POK2 is ...[more]
