Figure Lengend Snippet: Microtubule-associated SEPT5/7/11 complexes are permissive to KIF1A motility but inhibit KIF5C and DDB. A , kymographs show motile ( diagonal lines ) and stationary ( vertical lines ) KIF5C(1-560)-mCit on an uncoated microtubule ( left ) and a microtubule ( right ) which was coated with 50 nM mCherry-SEPT5/7/11. Red arrows point to KIF5C(1-560)-mCit motors, which remain immotile with no processive motility prior to dissociation (immotile particles). B , mean (±S.D.) landing rates of KIF5C(1-560)-mCit on uncoated microtubules (2.39 ± 0.53 events/μm/min; n = 20 microtubules) and microtubules coated with 50 nM mCherry-SEPT5/7/11 (1.22 ± 0.33 events/μm/min; n = 20 microtubules). ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001. C , mean (±S.D.) percentage of KIF5C(1-560)-mCit particles pausing on uncoated microtubules (6.38% ± 4.00%; n = 20 microtubules) and microtubules coated with 50 nM mCherry-SEPT5/7/11 (11.10% ± 7.50%; n = 20 microtubules). ∗ p = 0.02. D , mean (±S.D.) velocity of KIF5C(1-560)-mCit ( n = 150) on uncoated microtubules (1.19 ± 0.25 μm/s) and microtubules coated with 50 nM of mCherry-SEPT5/7/11 (0.81 ± 0.31 μm/s). ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001. E , one-cumulative distribution plot of the run lengths of KIF5C(1-560)-mCit particles ( n = 150) on uncoated microtubules and microtubules with mCherry-SEPT5/7/11 (50 nM). Data were fit to one-phase exponential decay with a decay constant τ (run length), which is shown with the R 2 fit value. The mean (±S.D.) run lengths were 1.58 ± 1 μm and 0.91 ± 0.48 μm in the absence and presence of mCherry-SEPT5/7/11, respectively ( p < 0.0001). F , kymographs show motile ( diagonal lines ) and stationary ( vertical lines ) KIF1A(1-393)-GCN4-3XmCit particles on an uncoated microtubule ( left ) and a microtubule ( right ), which was coated with 50 nM mCherry-SEPT5/7/11. Red arrows point to KIF1A(1-393)-GCN4-3XmCit motors, which associate with a microtubule with no processive motility. G , mean (±S.D.) landing rates of KIF1A(1-393)-GCN4-3XmCit on uncoated microtubules (3.99 ± 1.66 events/μm/min; n = 20 microtubules) and microtubules ( n = 20) coated with 50 nM mCherry-SEPT5/7/11 (3.85 ± 1.42 events/μm/min). n.s., not significant ( p > 0.05). H , mean (±S.D.) percentage of KIF1A(1-393)-GCN4-3XmCit particles pausing on uncoated microtubules (13.44% ± 3.69%; n = 20 microtubules) and microtubules ( n = 20) coated with 50 nM mCherry-SEPT5/7/11 (19.33% ± 5.63%; n = 20). ∗∗∗ p = 0.0004. I , mean (±S.D.) velocity of KIF1A(1-393)-GCN4-3XmCit particles ( n = 148) on uncoated microtubules (1.69 ± 0.38 μm/s) and microtubules coated with 50 nM mCherry-SEPT5/7/11 (1.32 ± 0.33 μm/s). ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001. J , one-cumulative distribution plot of the run lengths of KIF1A(1-393)-GCN4-3XmCit particles ( n = 148) on uncoated microtubules and microtubules with mCherry-SEPT5/7/11 (50 nM). Data were fit to one-phase exponential decay with a decay constant τ (run length), which is shown with the R 2 fit value. The mean (±S.D.) run length values were 5.25 ± 2.59 μm and 4.68 ± 2.63 μm in the absence and presence of mCherry-SEPT2/6/7, respectively ( p > 0.05). K , kymographs of DDB-GFP on an uncoated microtubule and microtubules which were coated with 10 nM and 50 nM mCherry-SEPT5/7/11. Red arrows point to DDB-GFP particles, which associate with microtubules with no processive motility (immotile particles). L , mean (±S.D.) landing rates of DDB-GFP particles on uncoated microtubules (0.26 ± 0.15 events/μm/min; n = 20 microtubules) and microtubules ( n = 20) coated with 10 nM (0.19 ± 0.14 events/μm/min) and 50 nM mCherry-SEPT5/7/11 (0.01 ± 0.02 events/μm/min). n.s., not significant ( p > 0.05); ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001. M , mean (±S.D.) percentage of DDB-GFP particles that pause on uncoated microtubules (11.85% ± 14.98%; n = 20 microtubules) and microtubules ( n = 20) which were coated with 10 nM mCherry-SEPT5/7/11 (28.37% ± 24.35%) ∗ p = 0.01. N , mean (±S.D.) velocity of DDB-GFP particles on uncoated microtubules (0.42 ± 0.28 μm/s; n = 150) and microtubules coated with 50 nM mCherry-SEPT5/7/11 (0.28 ± 0.22 μm/s; n = 155). ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001. O , one-cumulative distribution plot of the run lengths of DDB-GFP ( n = 150–155) on uncoated microtubules and microtubules coated with mCherry-SEPT5/7/11 (50 nM). Data were fit to one-phase exponential decay with a decay constant τ (run length), which is shown with the R 2 fit value. The mean (±S.D.) run length values were 6.29 ± 4.86 μm ( n = 150) and 3.14 ± 2.80 μm in the absence and presence of mCherry-SEPT5/7/11, respectively ( p < 0.0001). Statistical analysis of data with normal and non-normal distributions was performed with student's t and Mann-Whitney U tests, respectively. A nonparametric one-way ANOVA Kruskal–Wallis test was performed for multiple comparison groups, followed by a post hoc Dunn's test for pairwise comparisons. DDB, dynein-dynactin-bicaudal D.
