However, kinesin-3 NL remains poorly determined due to the lack of the structural information of the junction with the following neck coil (NC). Here, we determined the structure of the motor domain (MD)-NL-NCNT tandem of KIF13B that defines the junction between NL and NC and delineates kinesin-3 NL. Unexpectedly, the length of kinesin-3 NL is much shorter than the previously predicted one. In the MD-NL-NCNT structure, NL docks onto the MD with a conventional mode but the interaction between NL and the MD is relatively weak due to the shorter N-terminal cover strand of the MD. The optimal short NL and its weak interaction with the MD would generate the tight inter-head strain and facilitate the NL undocking, which may contribute to the fast and superprocessive motility of kinesin-3.
