NCBI Protein Information
Armadillo/beta-catenin repeat family protein / kinesin motor family protein
NCBI Summary
Armadillo-repeat containing kinesin-related protein. Plays a role during transition to root-hair tip growth.Mutants have short, branched root hairs and an excess of endoplasmic microtubles. Phenotype suggests ARK1 plays a role in modulating microtubule depolymerization during root hair tip growth.

UniProt Comments
Acts as a plus-end microtubule-dependent motor protein (PubMed:25159991). Involved in the control of root hair tip growth by promoting microtubule depolymerization and limiting the accumulation of endoplasmic microtubules (PubMed:17957256, PubMed:17971038, PubMed:24400013, PubMed:25159991). In vitro, binds to polymerized actin through ARM repeats, and to polymerized tubulin through N-terminal motor domain (PubMed:17957256).
