Molecular motors in neurons: transport mechanisms and roles in brain function, development, and disease. (2010, positive): “For example, KIF5 preferentially associates with acetylated tubulin in Cos-7 cells (Reed et al., 2006).”
The axonal transport of mitochondria (2005, background): “Another possibility for modulating the access of motor proteins to microtubule tracks in neurons is through posttranslational modifications of tubulin that alter motor microtubule binding (Reed et al., 2006).”

Microtubule assembly, organization and dynamics in axons and dendrites (2009, background): “They might also provide tracks for the preferential binding of microtubule-based motors transporting membrane-bound organelles and regulatory macromolecular complexe”
The Mechanism of Kinesin Regulation by Ca++ for Control of Mitochondrial Motility (2009, positive): “The binding of kinesin light chains to the tail domain of KHC, for example, can induce a closed, inactive state and cargo-binding can relieve that inhibition (Cai et al., 2007; Reed et al., 2006 ).”
