In human cells, cytoplasmic dynein-1 is essential for long-distance transport of many cargos, including organelles, RNAs, proteins, and viruses, towards microtubule minus ends. To understand how a single motor achieves cargo specificity, we identified the dynein interactome by attaching promiscuous biotin ligase (‘BioID’) to seven components machinery, subunit cofactor dynactin. This method reported spatial information about large cytosolic dynein/dynactin complex in living cells. achieve...
The lissencephaly 1 gene, LIS1 , is mutated in patients with the neurodevelopmental disease lissencephaly. Lis1 protein conserved from fungi to mammals and a key regulator of cytoplasmic dynein-1, major minus-end-directed microtubule motor many eukaryotes. only dynein known bind directly dynein’s domain, by doing so alters mechanochemistry. required for formation fully active complexes, which also contain essential cofactors: dynactin an activating adaptor. Here, we report first...
The 26S proteasome recognizes thousands of appropriate protein substrates in eukaryotic cells through attached ubiquitin chains and uses its adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) motor for mechanical unfolding translocation into a proteolytic chamber. Here, we used single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer measurements to monitor the conformational dynamics proteasome, observe individual during their progression toward degradation, elucidate how these processes are regulated by chains....
Microtubules are dynamic polymers that used for intracellular transport and chromosome segregation during cell division. Their instability stems from the low energy of tubulin dimer interactions, which sets growing polymer close to its disassembly conditions. function in coordination with kinesin dynein molecular motors, use ATP hydrolysis produce mechanical work move on microtubules. This raises possibility forces produced by walking motors can break interactions trigger microtubule...
Summary The 26S proteasome is the major compartmental protease in eukaryotic cells, responsible for ATP-dependent turnover of obsolete, damaged, or misfolded proteins that are delivered degradation through attached ubiquitin modifications. In addition to targeting substrates proteasome, was recently shown promote initiation by directly modulating conformational switching yet underlying mechanisms unknown. Here, we used biochemical, mutational, and single-molecule FRET-based approaches show...
Abstract Cytoplasmic dynein-1 is a molecular motor that drives nearly all minus-end-directed microtubule-based transport in human cells, performing functions ranging from retrograde axonal to mitotic spindle assembly 1,2 . Activated dynein complexes consist of one or two dimers, the dynactin complex, and an “activating adaptor”, with maximal velocity seen dimers present (Fig. 1a) 3-6 Little known about how this massive ∼4MDa complex assembled. Using purified recombinant proteins, we...

ABSTRACT In human cells, cytoplasmic dynein-1 is essential for long-distance transport of many cargos, including organelles, RNAs, proteins, and viruses, towards microtubule minus ends. To understand how a single motor achieves cargo specificity, we identified the dynein interactome or “transportome” by attaching promiscuous biotin ligase (“BioID”) to seven components machinery, subunit cofactor dynactin. This method reported spatial information about large cytosolic dynein/dynactin complex...
Summary Regulation is central to the functional versatility of cytoplasmic dynein, a motor involved in intracellular transport, cell division, and neurodevelopment. Previous work established that Lis1, conserved ubiquitous regulator binds its domain induces tight microtubule-binding state dynein. The we present here—a combination biochemistry, single-molecule assays, cryo-electron microscopy vivo experiments—led surprising discovery Lis1 has two opposing modes regulating being capable...
Abstract Cytoplasmic dynein-1 (dynein) is an AAA+ motor that transports intracellular cargos towards the microtubule minus end. Lissencephaly-1 (Lis1) binds to ring and stalk of dynein’s domain promotes assembly active dynein complexes. Recent studies showed Lis1 slows motility when it remains bound dynein, but underlying mechanism remained unclear. Using single-molecule optical trapping assays, we investigated how binding affects force generation yeast in vitro. We does not slow by serving...
SUMMARY The 26S proteasome is the major ATP-dependent protease in eukaryotic cells, where it catalyzes degradation of thousands proteins for general homeostasis and control vital processes. It specifically recognizes appropriate substrates through attached ubiquitin chains uses its ATPase motor mechanical unfolding translocation into a proteolytic chamber. Here, we used single-molecule Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) measurements to provide unprecedented insights mechanisms...
