Abstract excerpt
The heavy chain of cytoplasmic dynein contains four nucleotide-binding domains referred to as AAA1-AAA4, with the first domain (AAA1) being the main ATP hydrolytic site. Although previous studies have proposed regulatory roles for AAA3 and AAA4, the role of ATP hydrolysis at these sites remains elusive. Here, we have analyzed the single molecule motility properties of yeast cytoplasmic dynein mutants bearing...
