Finally out! In addition to being a dynein activating adaptor, Hook3 can also link dynein/dynactin complex to a kinesin. Such an interesting example of a physiological scaffold for opposite-polarity motors. @SamReckPeterson @jwadeharper1

@Meng2Fu @AnneStraube @MaraOlenick @ErikaHolzbaur I agree. There are some really nice studies by multiple groups on Hook3 and other scaffolds for opposite polarity. It’s an exciting field! It will be interesting to continue exploring how these interactions contribute to bidirectional transport and/or motor recycling in cell.
