Molecular analysis of the microtubule motor dynein

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1993 Oct 1;90(19):8769-72. doi: 10.1073/pnas.90.19.8769.

Abstract

Dynein is a large enzyme complex that has been found in recent years to be responsible for a variety of forms of intracellular movement associated with microtubules. Molecular analysis of several of the polypeptide components of dynein and a related complex has provided important new insight into their structural organization and mechanism of action in the cell.
