Force-Generating Mechanism of Axonemal Dynein in Solo and Ensemble

, 2020
In eukaryotic cilia and flagella, various types of axonemal dyneins orchestrate their distinct functions to generate oscillatory bending of axonemes.

Network of axonemal dyneins.

, 2012
(A) Dynein network: The green coloring indicates 4 out of 5 hits regarding axonemal dyneins. DNAH7 (also identified in our screen) was not part of the network. Blue symbols represent dyneins which were part of the library but were not determined as hits.

Clockwise Translocation of Microtubules by Flagellar Inner-Arm Dyneins In Vitro [PDF]

, 2008
Cilia and flagella are equipped with multiple species of dyneins that have diverse motor properties. To assess the properties of various axonemal dyneins of Chlamydomonas, in vitro microtubule translocation by isolated dyneins was examined with and ...

Mutation of CFAP57, a protein required for the asymmetric targeting of a subset of inner dynein arms in Chlamydomonas, causes primary ciliary dyskinesia.

PLoS Genetics, 2020
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is characterized by chronic airway disease, reduced fertility, and randomization of the left/right body axis. It is caused by defects of motile cilia and sperm flagella.

Isolation of several human axonemal dynein heavy chain genes: genomic structure of the catalytic site, phylogenetic analysis and chromosomal assignment [PDF]

, 1997
Dynein heavy chains (DHCs) are the main components of multisubunit motor ATPase complexes called dyneins. Axonemal dyneins provide the driving force for ciliary and flagellar motility.

Dyneins

, 2023
Dyneins are a class of microtubule (MT)-based motors that generate force and motility toward the minus-end of MTs by converting chemical energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to mechanical work.

Diverse Roles of Axonemal Dyneins in Drosophila Auditory Neuron Function and Mechanical Amplification in Hearing

, 2015
Much like vertebrate hair cells, the chordotonal sensory neurons that mediate hearing in Drosophila are motile and amplify the mechanical input of the ear.

Tubulin Polyglutamylation Regulates Axonemal Motility by Modulating Activities of Inner-Arm Dyneins [PDF]

, 2010
SummaryTubulin polyglutamylation is a modification that adds multiple glutamates to the γ-carboxyl group of a glutamate residue in the C-terminal tails of α- and β-tubulin [1, 2].

Dyneins across eukaryotes: a comparative genomic analysis. [PDF]

, 2007
Dyneins are large minus-end-directed microtubule motors. Each dynein contains at least one dynein heavy chain (DHC) and a variable number of intermediate chains (IC), light intermediate chains (LIC) and light chains (LC).
