Here, we determine the full-length structure of kinesin-3 KLP-6 in a compact self-folded state. Unexpectedly, all the internal coiled-coil segments and domains in KLP-6 cooperate to successively lock down the neck and motor domains. The first coiled-coil segment is melted into several short helices that work with the motor domain to restrain the entire neck domain. The second coiled-coil segment associates with its neighboring FHA and MBS domains and integrates with the tail MATH domain to form a supramodule that synergistically wraps around the motor domain to trap the nucleotide and hinder the microtubule binding. This multilevel-lockdown mechanism for autoinhibition could be applicable to other kinesin-3 motors. The architecture of kinesin-3 KLP-6 reveals a multilevel-lockdown mechanism for autoinhibition.,Wang W, Ren J, Song W, Zhang Y, Feng W Nat Commun. 2022 Jul 25;13(1):4281. doi: 10.1038/s41467-022-32048-y.
