Backseat drivers: Cargo adaptors and dynactin activate cytoplasmic dynein motility

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

Abstract

Control of the activity of the microtubule motor cytoplasmic dynein 1 is essential for its function in intracellular transport. A recent paper by McKenney et al. published in Science shows that activation of processive dynein motility requires the formation of cargo adaptor-dynein-dynactin complexes.
