Structure and Functional Role of Dynein's Microtubule-Binding Domain Open
Dynein motors move various cargos along microtubules within the cytoplasm and power the beating of cilia and flagella. An unusual feature of dynein is that its microtubule-binding domain (MTBD) is separated from its ring-shaped AAA+ adenos…

The Genome of the Sea Urchin <i>Strongylocentrotus purpuratus</i> Open
We report the sequence and analysis of the 814-megabase genome of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus , a model for developmental and systems biology. The sequencing strategy combined whole-genome shotgun and bacterial artificial …

Cytoplasmic dynein nomenclature Open
A variety of names has been used in the literature for the subunits of cytoplasmic dynein complexes. Thus, there is a strong need for a more definitive consensus statement on nomenclature. This is especially important for mammalian cytopla…

The Affinity of the Dynein Microtubule-binding Domain Is Modulated by the Conformation of Its Coiled-coil Stalk Open
The microtubule-binding domain (MTBD) of dynein is separated from the AAA (ATPase with any other activity) core of the motor by an approximately 15-nm stalk that is predicted to consist of an antiparallel coiled coil. However, the structur…

Expression and genomic analysis of midasin, a novel and highly conserved AAA protein distantly related to dynein Open
The highly conserved structure of midasin in eukaryotes, taken in conjunction with its nuclear localization in yeast, suggests that midasin may function as a nuclear chaperone and be involved in the assembly/disassembly of macromolecular c…

The Role of Dynein in Microtubule-based Motility. Open
Dyneins are high molecular weight ATPases that function as microtubule-based molecular motors. The axonemal dyneins, discovered 30 years ago, are responsible for the beating movement of cilia and sperm flagella, which they generate by prod…

Effect of Beat Frequency on the Velocity of Microtubule Sliding in Reactivated Sea Urchin Sperm Flagella Under Imposed Head Vibration Open
The heads of demembranated spermatozoa of the sea urchin Tripneustes gratilla, reactivated at different concentrations of ATP, were held by suction in the tip of a micropipette and vibrated laterally with respect to the head axis. This imp…

Saccharomyces cerevisiae kinesin- and dynein-related proteins required for anaphase chromosome segregation. Open
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae kinesin-related gene products Cin8p and Kip1p function to assemble the bipolar mitotic spindle. The cytoplasmic dynein heavy chain homologue Dyn1p (also known as Dhc1p) participates in proper cellular positioni…

Negative complementation in aspartate transcarbamylase. Analysis of hybrid enzyme molecules containing different arrangements of polypeptide chains from wild-type and inactive mutant catalytic subunits. Open
A comprehensive set of hybrid molecules of aspartate transcarbamylase (ATCase) from Escherichia coli has been constructed of wild-type and mutationally altered catalytic chains. The mutant enzymes that were virtually devoid of activity con…

A PCR procedure to determine the sequence of large polypeptides by rapid walking through a cDNA library. Open
A procedure that uses the PCR to make rapid successive steps through a random-primed cDNA library has been developed to provide a method for sequencing very long genes that are difficult to obtain as a single clone. In each successive step…

Transient behavior of sea urchin sperm flagella following an abrupt change in beat frequency Open
Within the approximate range of 30–80 Hz, the flagellar beat frequency of a sea urchin sperm held by its head in the tip of a micropipet is governed by the vibration frequency of the micropipet. We have imposed abrupt changes in flagellar …
