title: The Kin I kinesins are microtubule end-stimulated ATPases.
abstract: The Kin I kinesins are microtubule-destabilizing enzymes important for neuronal transport, spindle assembly, and chromosome segregation. now show that the Kin I MCAK is a microtubule end-stimulated ATPase that can catalytically depolymerize MT's.
