Despite continuing progress in kinesin enzyme mechanochemistry and emerging understanding of the cargo recognition machinery, it is not known how these functions are coupled and controlled by the alpha-helical coiled coils encoded by a large component of kinesin protein sequences. Here, we combine computational structure prediction with single-particle negative stain electron microscopy to reveal the coiled-coil architecture of heterotetrameric kinesin-1, in its compact state. An unusual flexion in the scaffold enables folding of the complex, bringing the kinesin heavy chain-light chain interface into close apposition with a tetrameric assembly formed from the region of the molecule previously assumed to be the folding hinge. This framework for autoinhibition is required to uncover how engagement of cargo and other regulatory factors drive kinesin-1 activation. Summary statement Integration of computational structure prediction with electron microscopy reveals the coiled-coil architecture of the autoinhibited compact conformer of the microtubule motor, kinesin-1.
