Activation of CLIP170 by CDKL5 in wild‐type (WT) cells promotes its open conformation and association with tyrosinated microtubule (MT) plus‐ends (+), where it works as a docking site to recruit the dynactin–dynein–cargo complex, promoting the initiation of retrograde transport. In knock‐out (KO) neurons, CLIP170 is mainly present in a closed (inactive)

Protein Disorder in Dynein Regulation by Dynactin and NudE [PDF]
Cytoplasmic dynein is a multi-subunit protein complex responsible for retrograde transport of diverse cellular cargoes along microtubules. Dynein is comprised of heavy chains responsible for motor activity, and intermediate chain (IC) and light chains for cargo attachment and regulation.

Reports from neural cell cultures and experimental animal studies provide evidence of age- and disease-related changes in retrograde transport of spent or misfolded proteins destined for degradation or recycling. However, few studies address these issues

Atypical Frontotemporal Dementia Associated With SQSTM1 Gene Mutation: A Clinicopathological Case
ABSTRACT A 78‐year‐old man presented with a six‐year history of progressive memory decline, initially manifesting as recent memory impairment and mild anomia, which gradually evolved into motor clumsiness, gait disturbances, language difficulties, behavioral changes, and late‐onset parkinsonism. He had been diagnosed with Paget disease of bone (PDB) at

Dynactin polices two-way organelle traffic [PDF]
How is the bidirectional motion of organelles controlled? In this issue, Deacon et al. (2003) reveal the unexpected finding that dynactin (previously known to control dynein-based motility) binds to kinesin II and regulates anterograde movement of Xenopus melanosomes.

The human cytoplasmic dynein interactome reveals novel activators of motility
In human cells, cytoplasmic dynein-1 is essential for long-distance transport of many cargos, including organelles, RNAs, proteins, and viruses, towards microtubule minus ends.

Dynein‐Dependent Endo‐Lysosomal Degradation Drives Lewy Body Disorders Accompanied by Aβ Pathology
This study investigates the impact of Aβ plaques on α‐synuclein (αSyn) pathologies in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Co‐culturing primary neurons with AD mouse brain slices reveals impaired dynein‐dependent organelle trafficking, affecting αSyn degradation. Activating Rab7 restores this process, reducing αSyn inclusions.

Dynactin subunit p150(Glued) is a neuron-specific anti-catastrophe factor. [PDF]
Regulation of microtubule dynamics in neurons is critical, as defects in the microtubule-based transport of axonal organelles lead to neurodegenerative disease.

The Arp2/3 complex generates branched actin networks at different locations of the cell. The WASH and WAVE Nucleation Promoting Factors (NPFs) activate the Arp2/3 complex at the surface of endosomes or at the cell cortex, respectively. In this review, we

The interaction between inflammasomes and autophagy is crucial for maintaining the balance between necessary immune responses and the avoidance of excessive inflammation. Autophagy can inhibit the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome by degrading endogenous activators, such as damaged mitochondria that produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), as well as ...
