The mammalian dynein/dynactin complex is a strong opponent to kinesin in a tug-of-war competition
Kinesin and dynein motors transport intracellular cargos bidirectionally by pulling them in opposite directions along microtubules, through a process frequently described as a ‘tug of war’. While kinesin produces 6 pN of force, mammalian dynein was found

Cytoplasmic dynein is activated by forming a complex with dynactin and the adaptor protein BicD2. We used Interferometric Scattering (iSCAT) microscopy to track dynein-dynactin-BicD2 (DDB) complexes in vitro and developed a regression-based algorithm to ...
