Systematic comparison of in vitro motile properties between Chlamydomonas wild-type and mutant outer arm dyneins each lacking one of the three heavy chains.

Abstract excerpt

Outer arm dynein (OAD) of cilia and flagella contains two or three distinct heavy chains, each having a motor function. To elucidate their functional difference, we compared the in vitro motile properties of Chlamydomonas wild-type OAD containing the alpha, beta, and gamma heavy chains and three kinds of mutant OADs, each lacking one of the three heavy chains. For systematic comparison, a method was developed to...
