Ciliary Dyneins and Dynein Related Ciliopathies [PDF]
Cells, 2021 Although ubiquitously present, the relevance of cilia for vertebrate development and health has long been underrated. However, the aberration or dysfunction of ciliary structures or components results in a large heterogeneous group of disorders in ...

Cryo-EM captures early intermediate steps in dynein activation by LIS1 [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsCytoplasmic dynein-1 (dynein) is an essential molecular motor in eukaryotic cells. Dynein primarily exists in an autoinhibited Phi state and requires conformational changes to assemble with its cofactors and form active transport complexes.

Application of temperature replica exchange molecular dynamics: Structure of mitotic spindle-associated protein SHE1 and its binding to dynein [PDF]
Computational and Structural Biotechnology JournalCytoskeletal motor protein dynein belongs to the AAA+ superfamily of enzymes, functioning as a mechanochemical ATPase that converts chemical energy into force to drive its retrograde movements along microtubules.

The KASH5 protein involved in meiotic chromosomal movements is a novel dynein activating adaptor
eLife, 2022 Dynein harnesses ATP hydrolysis to move cargo on microtubules in multiple biological contexts. Dynein meets a unique challenge in meiosis by moving chromosomes tethered to the nuclear envelope to facilitate homolog pairing essential for gametogenesis ...

eLife, 2022 Mutations in the microtubule (MT)-binding protein doublecortin (DCX) or in the MT-based molecular motor dynein result in lissencephaly. However, a functional link between DCX and dynein has not been defined.

Structures of human dynein in complex with the lissencephaly 1 protein, LIS1
eLife, 2023 The lissencephaly 1 protein, LIS1, is mutated in type-1 lissencephaly and is a key regulator of cytoplasmic dynein-1. At a molecular level, current models propose that LIS1 activates dynein by relieving its autoinhibited form.

Dynein and dynein-related genes [PDF]
Cell Motility and the Cytoskeleton, 1998 Dyneins are large, multisubunit ATPases that interact with microtubules to generate force. Dyneins move eukaryotic cilia and flagella and are in the cytoplasm, where they are involved in the transport of particles and organelles along microtubules and in the transport of condensed chromosomes during mitosis [reviewed in Holzbaur et al., 1994; Gibbons ...

Cargo-Mediated Activation of Cytoplasmic Dynein in vivo
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Cytoplasmic dynein-1 is a minus-end-directed microtubule motor that transports a variety of cargoes including early endosomes, late endosomes and other organelles.

Dynamic regulation of dynein localization revealed by small molecule inhibitors of ubiquitination enzymes [PDF]
Open Biology, 2018 Cytoplasmic dynein is a minus-end-directed microtubule-based motor that acts at diverse subcellular sites. During mitosis, dynein localizes simultaneously to the mitotic spindle, spindle poles, kinetochores and the cell cortex.

Nde1 promotes Lis1-mediated activation of dynein
Nature Communications, 2023 Cytoplasmic dynein drives the motility and force generation functions towards the microtubule minus end. The assembly of dynein with dynactin and a cargo adaptor in an active transport complex is facilitated by Lis1 and Nde1/Ndel1.
