Abstract excerpt
Axonemal dyneins are multisubunit molecular motors that provide the driving force for flagellar motility. Dynein light chain 1 (LC1) has been well studied in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and is unique among all dynein components as the only protein known to bind directly to the catalytic motor domain of the dynein heavy chain. However, the role of LC1 in dynein assembly and/or function is unknown because no mutants...
