Abstract excerpt
Male mice had previously been generated in which the inner dynein arm heavy chain 7 gene (MDHC7) was inactivated by the substitution of four exons encoding the ATP-binding site (P1-loop) with the neomycin resistance gene, giving a putative non-functional gene product. We have used additional techniques of electron microscopy to determine what effect the truncated, non-functional heavy chain has on the assembly of...
