Nature Communications, 2023 Mitochondrial transport along microtubules is mediated by Miro1 and TRAK adaptors that recruit kinesin-1 and dynein-dynactin. To understand how these opposing motors are regulated during mitochondrial transport, we reconstitute the bidirectional ...

Structure of dynein-dynactin on microtubules shows tandem adaptor binding
Nature, 2022 Cytoplasmic dynein is a microtubule motor that is activated by its cofactor dynactin and a coiled-coil cargo adaptor 1 – 3 . Up to two dynein dimers can be recruited per dynactin, and interactions between them affect their combined motile behaviour 4 – 6

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.

Structure and Mechanics of Dynein Motors
Annual Review of Biophysics, 2021 Dyneins make up a family of AAA+ motors that move toward the minus end of microtubules. Cytoplasmic dynein is responsible for transporting intracellular cargos in interphase cells and mediating spindle assembly and chromosome positioning during cell ...

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.

FBB18 participates in preassembly of almost all axonemal dyneins independent of R2TP complex.
PLoS Genetics, 2022 Assembly of dynein arms requires cytoplasmic processes which are mediated by dynein preassembly factors (DNAAFs). CFAP298, which is conserved in organisms with motile cilia, is required for assembly of dynein arms but with obscure mechanisms.

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.

PLoS Genetics, 2021 Axonemal protein complexes, such as outer (ODA) and inner (IDA) dynein arms, are responsible for the generation and regulation of flagellar and ciliary beating.

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.
