      This study provides compelling evidence that kinesin's stepping mechanism is governed by strain-induced conformational changes in its nucleotide-binding pockets. Using pre-steady state kinetics and single-molecule assays, the authors demonstrate that the neck linker's conformation differentially modulates nucleotide affinity and detachment rates, establishing an asynchronous chemo-mechanical cycle that prevents simultaneous detachment. Supported by cryo-EM structural data, the work presents an important advance in our understanding of kinesin's hand-over-hand movement.

      The manuscript presents a valuable finding that CCDC32, beyond its reported role in AP2 assembly, follows AP2 to the plasma membrane and regulates clathrin-coated pit assembly and dynamics. The authors further identify an alpha-helical region within CCDC32 that is essential for its interaction with AP2 and its cellular function. While live-cell and ultrastructural imaging data are solid, future biochemical studies will be needed to confirm the proposed CCDC32-AP2 interaction.
