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 ...

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 ...

Dynactin has two antagonistic regulatory domains and exerts opposing effects on dynein motility. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Dynactin is a dynein-regulating protein that increases the processivity of dynein movement on microtubules. Recent studies have shown that a tripartite complex of dynein-dynactin-Bicaudal D2 is essential for highly processive movement.

A single protofilament is sufficient to support unidirectional walking of dynein and kinesin. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Cytoplasmic dynein and kinesin are two-headed microtubule motor proteins that move in opposite directions on microtubules. It is known that kinesin steps by a 'hand-over-hand' mechanism, but it is unclear by which mechanism dynein steps.

Dynein modifiers in C. elegans: light chains suppress conditional heavy chain mutants. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2007 Cytoplasmic dynein is a microtubule-dependent motor protein that functions in mitotic cells during centrosome separation, metaphase chromosome congression, anaphase spindle elongation, and chromosome segregation. Dynein is also utilized during interphase

Biology Open, 2021 Ciliary motility is powered by a suite of highly conserved axoneme-specific dynein motor complexes. In humans, the impairment of these motors through mutation results in the disease primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).

A role for Tctex-1 (DYNLT1) in controlling primary cilium length [PDF]
, 2011 The microtubule motor complex cytoplasmic dynein is known to be involved in multiple processes including endomembrane organization and trafficking, mitosis, and microtubule organization.

Hsp90-binding immunophilins link p53 to dynein during p53 transport to the nucleus [PDF]
, 2004 The tumor suppressor protein p53 is known to be transported to the nucleus along microtubular tracks by cytoplasmic dynein. However, the connection between p53 and the dynein motor protein complex has not been established.

The IDA3 adapter, required for intraflagellar transport of I1 dynein, is regulated by ciliary length [PDF]
, 2018 Axonemal dyneins, including inner dynein arm I1, assemble in the cytoplasm prior to transport into cilia by intraflagellar transport (IFT). How I1 dynein interacts with IFT is not understood.

Post-LECA Origin and Diversification of an Axonemal Outer Arm Dynein Motor. [PDF]
Cytoskeleton (Hoboken)ABSTRACT Dyneins were present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) and play key roles in eukaryotic biology. Axonemal dyneins form the inner and outer arms that power ciliary beating, and it has long been recognized that outer arms in some organisms contain two different heavy chain motors, whereas those from other species contain a third unit
