In eukaryotic cells, cargo is transported on self-organised networks of microtubule trackways by kinesin and dynein motor proteins. Synthetic microtubule networks have previously been assembled in vitro and microtubules have been used as shuttles to carry cargoes on lithographically-defined tracks consisting of surface-bound kinesin motors. Here we show that molecular signals can be used to program both the architecture and the operation of a self-organized transport system based on kinesin and microtubules and spans three orders of magnitude in length scale. A single motor protein - dimeric kinesin 1 - is conjugated to various DNA nanostructures to accomplish different tasks. Instructions encoded into the DNA sequences are used to direct the assembly of a polar array of microtubules and can be used to control the loading, active concentration and unloading of cargo on this track network or to trigger the disassembly of the network.
