The University of California, Berkeley received a $951,106 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), awarded June 1, 2026, with a completion date of May 31, 2029. This award funds fundamental research investigating the regulation of kinesin molecular motors by microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs). The research employs structural biology, biophysics, and protein engineering methodologies—including cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and newly developed labeling strategies—to determine how specific MAPs (tau, MAP7, MAP9, and doublecortin) regulate kinesin-1 and kinesin-3 motor activity and control motor-driven cargo transport along microtubule tracks. The project delivers scientific knowledge and research outputs addressing fundamental principles of intracellular transport relevant to neurological disease mechanisms, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. In addition to advancing basic scientific understanding of cellular organization and motor protein regulation, the award supports national priorities through STEM workforce development activities, including engagement of high school students in research and integration of interdisciplinary training in physics and biology at the undergraduate level. Research activities are performed at UC Berkeley's Berkeley, California facility.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
