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 ...

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.

N-Terminal Processing and Modification of Ciliary Dyneins
Cells, 2023 Axonemal dyneins are highly complex microtubule motors that power ciliary motility. These multi-subunit enzymes are assembled at dedicated sites within the cytoplasm.

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.

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.

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-

Three-dimensional structure of the Trypanosome flagellum suggests that the paraflagellar rod functions as a biomechanical spring. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Flagellum motility is critical for normal human development and for transmission of pathogenic protozoa that cause tremendous human suffering worldwide.

Calaxin stabilizes the docking of outer arm dyneins onto ciliary doublet microtubule in vertebrates
eLife, 2023 Outer arm dynein (OAD) is the main force generator of ciliary beating. Although OAD loss is the most frequent cause of human primary ciliary dyskinesia, the docking mechanism of OAD onto the ciliary doublet microtubule (DMT) remains elusive in ...

Cell cycle-dependent microtubule-based dynamic transport of cytoplasmic dynein in mammalian cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Cytoplasmic dynein complex is a large multi-subunit microtubule (MT)-associated molecular motor involved in various cellular functions including organelle positioning, vesicle transport and cell division.
