The GFP-OsKCH1/KCH2 chimera is a processive minus-end-directed motor. a Schematic diagrams of GFP-OsKCH1(292–744) and the GFP-OsKCH1/KCH2 chimera. GFP-OsKCH1/KCH2 is a derivative of GFP-OsKCH1(292–744) by replacing its endogenous CC2 with that from OsKCH2. b Photobleaching analyses of GFP-OsKCH1/KCH2. (Top) Example fluorescence intensity traces over time of individual GFP-OsKCH1/KCH2 molecules immobilized on the microtubules. (Bottom) Histogram of the photobleaching steps of GFP-OsKCH1/KCH2 (n = 214). c Example kymograph of individual GFP-OsKCH1/KCH2 molecules (green) moving processively toward the minus end of single polarity-marked microtubules (red). d Velocity histogram of single GFP-OsKCH1/KCH2 molecules. Red line indicates a Gaussian fit to the velocity histogram. e Run-length histogram of single GFP-OsKCH1/KCH2 molecules. Red line indicates a single-exponential fit to the run-length histogram. f Coomassie-stained SDS-PAGE of the microtubule co-sedimentation assay for (top) GFP-OsKCH1(292–744) and (bottom) GFP-OsKCH1/KCH2 in BRB80/25 mM KCl. Scale bars: 30 s (vertical) and 5 µm (horizontal)
