Figure 7.

The speed of E195 and V195 mutant motors is slower than the WT motor. (A) Frequency of tether formation (blue) and packaging (red) of WT, E195 and V195 motors. (B) Representative traces showing packaging of WT (blue), E195 or V195 (red) motors (n = 17). Each line represents packaging by one individual packaging motor. (C) Mean packaging velocity of WT (blue) or mutant (red) motors. The velocity was calculated from the areas when the motor is engaged in packaging and by disregarding the pauses. Error bars are standard deviations. (D) Mean packaged length in bp of WT (blue) or mutant (red) motors. Error bars are standard deviations.
