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 ...

Chlamydomonas DYX1C1/PF23 is essential for axonemal assembly and proper morphology of inner dynein arms. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2017 Cytoplasmic assembly of ciliary dyneins, a process known as preassembly, requires numerous non-dynein proteins, but the identities and functions of these proteins are not fully elucidated.

X-linked primary ciliary dyskinesia due to mutations in the cytoplasmic axonemal dynein assembly factor PIH1D3 [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetically heterogeneous disease resulting in reduced mucus clearance and impaired lung function. Here, the authors show that mutations in PIH1D3 are responsible for an X-linked form of PCD, affecting assembly of a ...

Oscillatory movement of a dynein-microtubule complex crosslinked with DNA origami
eLife, 2022 Bending of cilia and flagella occurs when axonemal dynein molecules on one side of the axoneme produce force and move toward the microtubule (MT) minus end.

Torque generating properties of Tetrahymena ciliary three-headed outer-arm dynein
Scientific Reports, 2022 Eukaryotic cilia/flagella are cellular bio-machines that drive the movement of microorganisms. Molecular motor axonemal dyneins in the axoneme, which consist of an 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules, play an essential role in ciliary beating.

Predicting the locations of force-generating dyneins in beating cilia and flagella
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Cilia and flagella are slender cylindrical organelles whose bending waves propel cells through fluids and drive fluids across epithelia. The bending waves are generated by dynein motor proteins, ATPases whose force-generating activity changes over time ...

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 ...
