title: The curious case of the soluble protein.
abstract: How neurons tackle the challenge of soluble protein delivery to the distal axon has long puzzled neuroscientists. Reporting in Neuron, Scott et al. (2011) show that this axonal transport occurs through motor-dependent formation of dynamic heterogeneous protein complexes that pause upon complex disassembly and regain motility upon reassembly.
