Cryo-EM captures early intermediate steps in dynein activation by LIS1
2025-01-14
Abstract excerpt
Cytoplasmic dynein-1 (dynein) is an essential molecular motor in eukaryotic cells. Dynein primarily exists in an autoinhibited “Phi” state and requires conformational changes to assemble with its cofactors and form active transport complexes. LIS1, a key dynein regulator, enhances dynein activation and assembly. Using cryo-EM and a human dynein-LIS1 sample incubated with ATP, we mapped the conformational landscape...
