Dynein–Dynactin–NuMA clusters generate cortical spindle-pulling forces as a multi-arm ensemble

open access: yeseLife, 2018
To position the mitotic spindle within the cell, dynamic plus ends of astral microtubules are pulled by membrane-associated cortical force-generating machinery.

A tunable LIC1-adaptor interaction modulates dynein activity in a cargo-specific manner

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Activating adaptors that link dynein to its general cofactor dynactin recruit specific cargoes and regulate dynein’s activity and processive motility in retrograde transport.

The Rab6 GTPase regulates recruitment of the dynactin complex to Golgi membranes

open access: yes, 2002

Colocalization of cytoplasmic dynein with dynactin and CLIP-170 at microtubule distal ends

open access: yes, 2009
Cytoplasmic dynein is a minus end-directed microtubule motor responsible for centripetal organelle movement and several aspects of chromosome segregation.

Towards a high‐resolution structure of dynactin

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2006
Dynactin is a multisubunit protein complex necessary for the function of the cytoplasmic molecular motor, dynein, found in all eukaryotic cells. The complex binds the motor and then carries it along microtubules along with numerous and diverse cargo molecules.

Hexameric NuMA:LGN structures promote multivalent interactions required for planar epithelial divisions

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
LGN and NuMA link epithelial polarity sites with astral microtubules and associate with dynein, but the architecture of such cortical force-generating complexes is unknown.

Multiple mechanisms of chromosome movement in vertebrate cells mediated through the Ndc80 complex and dynein/dynactin

open access: yes, 2008
Kinetochores bind microtubules laterally in a transient fashion and stably, by insertion of plus ends. These pathways may exist to carry out distinct tasks during different stages of mitosis and likely depend on distinct molecular mechanisms. On isolated

Live imaging of Drosophila brain neuroblasts reveals a role for Lis1/dynactin in spindle assembly and mitotic checkpoint control

open access: yes, 2005
Lis1 is required for nuclear migration in fungi, cell cycle progression in mammals, and the formation of a folded cerebral cortex in humans. Lis1 binds dynactin and the dynein motor complex, but the role of Lis1 in many dynein/dynactin-dependent ...

The p25 subunit of the dynactin complex is required for dynein-early endosome interaction

open access: yes, 2011
11 páginas, 5 figuras, 1 tabla -- PAGS nros. 1245-1255Cytoplasmic dynein transports various cellular cargoes including early endosomes, but how dynein is linked to early endosomes is unclear.
