Motors, clutches and brakes for membrane traffic: A commemorative review in honor of Thomas Kreis

Membranous organelles interact with a wide variety of cytoskeletal proteins that allow them to be organized into dynamic, yet stable, structures with distinct subcellular addresses. This review provides an up-to-date summary of the motor enzymes and membrane-microtubule crosslinking proteins that ha ve been implicated in this process, and discusses the potential impact memb rane anchoring may have on cellular architecture.
