Schematic representation of the proposed function of Eg5. Eg5 is suggested to serve as a mobile molecular link between the ribosomes and microtubules to enhance the efficiency of polypeptide synthesis. (A) Eg5 may directly link the 80S ribosomes to microtubules or (B) Eg5 may be indirectly associated with ribosomes via unidentified linker molecules.
