  • Protein Disorder in the Evolution of Dynein Regulation

    Creator:
    Jie, Jing
    Abstract:
    Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDP) are a class of proteins that lack a three-dimensional structure and their prevalence and diverse functions in the cell have only been discovered relatively recently. The intermediate chain (IC) subunit of the microtubule motor protein complex dynein contains an N-terminal disordered region, N-IC, which is central...

  • Biophysical basis of macromolecular assembly in the dynein cargo attachment complex

    Creator:
    Hall, Justin Daniel
    Abstract:
    Cytoplasmic dynein is an ATP-dependent, microtubule-based molecular motor involved in the positioning and trafficking of cellular cargo. The cargo binding sub-domain of dynein contains the natively disordered intermediate chain (IC) and the homodimeric light chains (Tctex1, LC8 and LC7). The structure and stoichiometry of this complex, how the light chains...
