aAverages ± SEM are presented. Values in parentheses represent the number of trajectories in the single-molecule assay, or number of MTs that exhibited a net displacement ≥ 0.37 µm

bConditions: 110 mM KCl, 1 mM ATP

cVelocities evaluated from MD analysis; negative values represent minus-end directed motility

dSee Materials and methods for motor concentrations

eSee Materials and methods for KCl concentrations

f% of MTs that exhibited a net displacement of ≥ 0.37 µm. Numbers in parentheses represent the total number of MTs in a field of 2460 µm2

g100% of the movements were plus-end directed

hSee Materials and methods for motor and KCl concentrations

iNot determined due to low number (only ten) of polarity-labeled MTs with displacement ≥ 0.37 µm, out of which seven were plus-end directed

***P < 0.001 compared to Cin8ΔL8, calculated using ANOVA, followed by Tukey's test
