Axonemal dyneins form the inner and outer rows of arms associated with the doublet microtubules of motile cilia. These enzymes convert the chemical energy released from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis into mechanical work by causing the doublets to slide with respect to each other.

Bicaudal D Family Adaptor Proteins Control the Velocity of Dynein-Based Movements
Cargo transport along microtubules is driven by the collective function of microtubule plus- and minus-end-directed motors (kinesins and dyneins). How the velocity of cargo transport is driven by opposing teams of motors is still poorly understood. Here,

ABSTRACT Background Cell senescence (CS) and lipid metabolism (LM) disorders have been reported in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). However, the mechanism is still unclear. Methods Data were obtained from public databases; differential expression analysis and machine learning were performed to identify biomarkers and to understand the

Dynein is a large, complex microtubule mechanochemical translocator. Although discovered over 25 years ago in the axonemes of protozoa and sea urchin sperm flagella, relatively little is known about the structure and function of this important motor ...

Tubulin Polyglutamylation Regulates Axonemal Motility by Modulating Activities of Inner-Arm Dyneins
SummaryTubulin polyglutamylation is a modification that adds multiple glutamates to the γ-carboxyl group of a glutamate residue in the C-terminal tails of α- and β-tubulin [1, 2].

ABSTRACT Background More than 1000 genes have been identified as predominantly expressed in the human testis. Advances in gene editing technologies have enabled the rapid and efficient generation of genetically engineered mice. This approach facilitates the screening of genes essential for spermatogenesis by analyzing knockout mouse models.

C11orf70 Mutations Disrupting the Intraflagellar Transport-Dependent Assembly of Multiple Axonemal Dyneins Cause Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia [PDF]
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous disorder characterized by destructive respiratory disease and laterality abnormalities due to randomized left-right body asymmetry.

Microtubule Inner Protein CFAP77 Contributes to Sperm Motility and Male Fertility in Mice
ABSTRACT Background Sperm motility is essential for male fertility, and its regulation is dependent on the structural integrity of the axoneme. The axoneme consists of a conserved “9+2” microtubule arrangement and is supported by microtubule inner proteins. However, the functional significance of many microtubule inner proteins remains unclear.

Registry alteration in Dynein's microtubule-binding domain: A AAA domain-guided event
Dynein, a motor protein, harnesses chemical energy from ATP hydrolysis to generate mechanical output as it travels along microtubular tracks. Essential to this process is the microtubule-binding domain (MTBD), which facilitates the interaction with and ...
