Myosin V walks hand-over-hand: single fluorophore imaging with 1.5-nm localization

A Yildiz, JN Forkey, SA McKinney, T Ha, YE Goldman… - science, 2003 - science.org
Myosin V is a dimeric molecular motor that moves processively on actin, with the center of
mass moving ∼37 nanometers for each adenosine triphosphate hydrolyzed. We have labeled …

Kinesin walks hand-over-hand

A Yildiz, M Tomishige, RD Vale, PR Selvin - Science, 2004 - science.org
Kinesin is a processive motor that takes 8.3-nm center-of-mass steps along microtubules for
each adenosine triphosphate hydrolyzed. Whether kinesin moves by a “hand-over-hand” or …

Enhanced proofreading governs CRISPR–Cas9 targeting accuracy

…, LB Harrington, SH Sternberg, JK Joung, A Yildiz… - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
The RNA-guided CRISPR–Cas9 nuclease from Streptococcus pyogenes (SpCas9) has
been widely repurposed for genome editing 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 . High-fidelity (SpCas9-HF1) and …

Fluorescence imaging with one nanometer accuracy: application to molecular motors

A Yildiz, PR Selvin - Accounts of chemical research, 2005 - ACS Publications
We introduce the technique of FIONA, fluorescence imaging with one nanometer accuracy.
This is a fluorescence technique that is able to localize the position of a single dye within ∼1 …

Single-molecule analysis of dynein processivity and stepping behavior

SL Reck-Peterson, A Yildiz, AP Carter, A Gennerich… - Cell, 2006 - cell.com
Cytoplasmic dynein, the 1.2 MDa motor driving minus-end-directed motility, has been reported
to move processively along microtubules, but its mechanism of motility remains poorly …

[HTML][HTML] Intramolecular strain coordinates kinesin stepping behavior along microtubules

A Yildiz, M Tomishige, A Gennerich, RD Vale - Cell, 2008 - cell.com
Kinesin advances 8 nm along a microtubule per ATP hydrolyzed, but the mechanism responsible
for coordinating the enzymatic cycles of kinesin's two identical motor domains remains …

Cryo-EM shows how dynactin recruits two dyneins for faster movement

…, MM Elshenawy, E Morales-Rios, C Motz, A Yildiz… - Nature, 2018 - nature.com
Dynein and its cofactor dynactin form a highly processive microtubule motor in the presence
of an activating adaptor, such as BICD2. Different adaptors link dynein and dynactin to …

A conformational checkpoint between DNA binding and cleavage by CRISPR-Cas9

…, JS Chen, SH Sternberg, JA Doudna, A Yildiz - Science …, 2017 - science.org
The Cas9 endonuclease is widely used for genome engineering applications by programming
its single-guide RNA, and ongoing work is aimed at improving the accuracy and efficiency …

Rapid and fully microfluidic Ebola virus detection with CRISPR-Cas13a

…, R Carrion, JL Patterson, A Griffiths, Q He, A Yildiz… - ACS …, 2019 - ACS Publications
Highly infectious illness caused by pathogens is endemic especially in developing nations
where there is limited laboratory infrastructure and trained personnel. Rapid point-of-care (…

Prevalence of coronary artery anomalies in 12,457 adult patients who underwent coronary angiography

A Yildiz, B Okcun, T Peker, C Arslan, A Olcay… - Clinical …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Background Coronary artery anomalies are found in 0.2% to 1.3% of patients undergoing
coronary angiography and 0.3% of an autopsy series. We aimed to estimate the frequency of …
