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 ...

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

Functional partitioning of a liquid-like organelle during assembly of axonemal dyneins

eLife, 2020
Ciliary motility is driven by axonemal dyneins that are assembled in the cytoplasm before deployment to cilia. Motile ciliopathy can result from defects in the dyneins themselves or from defects in factors required for their cytoplasmic pre-assembly ...

Regulation of motor activity of ciliary outer-arm dynein by the light chain 1; Implications from the structure of the light chain bound to the microtubule-binding domain of the heavy chain

Biophysics and Physicobiology, 2023
Ciliary bending movements are powered by motor protein axonemal dyneins. They are largely classified into two groups, inner-arm dynein and outer-arm dynein. Outer-arm dynein, which is important for the elevation of ciliary beat frequency, has three heavy

Novel DNAH1 Mutation Loci Lead to Multiple Morphological Abnormalities of the Sperm Flagella and Literature Review

The World Journal of Men's Health, 2022
The protein encoded by dynein axonemal heavy chain 1 (DNAH1) is a part of dynein, which regulates the function of cilia and sperm flagella.

Systematic studies of all PIH proteins in zebrafish reveal their distinct roles in axonemal dynein assembly

eLife, 2018
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 ...

Structure of a microtubule-bound axonemal dynein

Nature Communications, 2021
Axonemal dyneins are tethered to doublet microtubules inside cilia to drive ciliary beating but the mechanisms regulating their localization and function are poorly understood.

CFAP53 regulates mammalian cilia-type motility patterns through differential localization and recruitment of axonemal dynein components.

PLoS Genetics, 2020
Motile cilia can beat with distinct patterns, but how motility variations are regulated remain obscure. Here, we have studied the role of the coiled-coil protein CFAP53 in the motility of different cilia-types in the mouse.

Chemical structure-guided design of dynapyrazoles, cell-permeable dynein inhibitors with a unique mode of action

eLife, 2017
Cytoplasmic dyneins are motor proteins in the AAA+ superfamily that transport cellular cargos toward microtubule minus-ends. Recently, ciliobrevins were reported as selective cell-permeable inhibitors of cytoplasmic dyneins. As is often true for first-in-

Cytoplasmic dynein nomenclature [PDF]

The Journal of Cell Biology, 2005
A variety of names has been used in the literature for the subunits of cytoplasmic dynein complexes. Thus, there is a strong need for a more definitive consensus statement on nomenclature. This is especially important for mammalian cytoplasmic dyneins, many subunits of which are encoded by multiple genes.
