Protein transport:  Molecular motors join forces

Manfred Schliwa1

The apples you buy at the grocery will usually have completed a long journey, including shipment from the farmer to your home town then delivery to the grocer. Different modes of transport may have been used, such as a train for the long haul and a van for the local dispatch, and the legs of this voyage are coordinated by closely interacting business partners.
