Interaction mapping of a dynein heavy chain. Identification of dimerization and intermediate-chain binding domains.

Abstract excerpt

Cytoplasmic dynein is a multisubunit microtubule-based motor protein that is involved in several eukaryotic cell motilities. Two dynein heavy chains each form a motor domain that connects to a common cargo-binding tail. Although this tail domain is composed of multiple polypeptides, subunit organization within this region is poorly understood. Here we present an in vitro dissection of the tail-forming region of...
