Kinesin-3 and the cargo adaptor Hook1 regulate early endosome and peroxisome motility and are required for mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum spatial organization during polarized fungal cell growth in Podospora anserina.

Microtubule-based organelle transport is essential for organelle positioning within cells and defines the architecture and function of highly polarized cells, like animal neurons and fungal hyphae. Early endosome transport depends on kinesin-3 motors and on cytoplasmic dynein, which binds to this organelle via Hook ada...
