“…This statistical analysis is important for applying motor proteins to quantitative and parallel cargo transport. However, the maximum velocity of 0.44 mm s À1 for kinesin-coated microspheres in our experiment is comparable to previous studies (Block et al, 1990;Svoboda et al, 1993), and is also consistent with velocities of cargo transported on glutaraldehyde-fixed microtubules (Doot et al, 2007;Turner et al, 1996). The maximum velocity of 0.80 mm s À1 for dynein-coated microspheres is also in agreement with results for single molecule assay (King and Schroer, 2000;Toba et al, 2006).…”

“…Dynein-coated microspheres were transported on glutaraldehyde-fixed microtubules at maximum velocities similar to in vitro bead assay-based system. While it was reported that cross-linking of microtubules with glutaraldehyde does not affect kinesin motility (Doot et al, 2007;Turner et al, 1996), this is the first report for simultaneous kinesin and dynein motility on such ''cross-linked'' microtubules. Such results ensure that motility of two motor proteins on chemically immobilized microtubules can be utilized for bidirectional cargo nanotransport.…”

“…This means that purified tubulin manipulation to produce microtubules is a relatively complex procedure. A treatment widely used to prevent microtubule disassembly by dilution and low temperature is a mild fixation with glutaraldehyde (45)(46)(47). 0.2% glutaraldehyde has been used to fix the cytoskeleton of Ptk2 cells, maintaining their ability to specifically bind Flutax-1 (24).…”
