Construction of motile cilia/flagella requires cytoplasmic preassembly of axonemal dyneins before transport into cilia. Axonemal dyneins have various subtypes, but the roles of each dynein subtype and their assembly processes remain elusive in ...

ABSTRACT Background Late‐onset Tay–Sachs disease (LOTS) is a rare lysosomal disorder that contrasts with the classical infantile form by presenting with milder and heterogeneous neurological manifestations, including lower motor neuron phenotypes.

In this study, we investigated how microtubule motors organize microtubules in Drosophila neurons. We showed that, during the initial stages of axon outgrowth, microtubules display mixed polarity and minus-end-out microtubules push the tip of the axon ...

Cytoplasmic dynein transports axonal microtubules in a polarity-sorting manner
Summary Axonal microtubules are predominantly organized into a plus-end-out pattern.Here, we examined the polarity-sorting mechanism underlying this organization both experimentally and using modeling.

The Secret (Mitotic) Life of Clathrin
A perspective on the function of clathrin at the mitotic spindle during cell division. ABSTRACT The discovery of clathrin was a foundational event in membrane traffic research. Its identification as the major protein component of the coat that surrounds endocytic vesicles kickstarted the biochemical and molecular characterization of endocytosis. During

Mechanisms of Regulation of Cytoplasmic Dynein [PDF]
Cytoplasmic dynein-1 (dynein) is a microtubule-based motor protein that is essential for maintaining proper spatial and temporal organization of the cellular interior during both interphase and cell division.

Gsk-3Β Phosphorylation Of Cytoplasmic Dynein Reduces Ndel1 Binding To Intermediate Chains And Alters Dynein Motility [PDF]
Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) has been linked to regulation of kinesin-dependent axonal transport in squid and flies, and to indirect regulation of cytoplasmic dynein. We have now found evidence for direct regulation of dynein by mammalian GSK-3β in

Proteome Analysis of Corynebacterium diphtheriae–Macrophage Interaction
ABSTRACT Contact of Corynebacterium diphtheriae with macrophages induces adaptations on both bacterial and cellular sides. The study presented here was aiming to shed light on the simultaneous intracellular adaptation of the bacteria and changes in the proteome of the phagocytes in response to the internalization of C. diphtheriae.

This study compares the molecular mechanisms of chemotherapy‐related peripheral neurotoxicity of two proteasome inhibitors, bortezomib and carfilzomib, using a multidisciplinary approach to reveal that, alongside shared effects on mitochondria structure and function, the more neurotoxic drug BTZ has specific effects on microtubules and mitochondrial ...

The Mechanical Components of the Dynein Motor
Unlike our understanding of the other two classes of cytoskeletal motor proteins, the myosins and kinesins, we have only recently begun to comprehend the molecular mechanism for how dynein produces force and movement.
