Abstract excerpt
The motor protein cytoplasmic dynein is responsible for most of the minus-end-directed microtubule traffic within cells. Dynein contains four evolutionarily conserved AAA (ATPase associated with various cellular activities) domains that are thought to bind nucleotide; the role of nucleotide binding and hydrolysis in each of these four AAA domains has constituted an important and unresolved question in...
