The outer dynein arm from flagella of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is one of the bestcharacterized members of this class of microtubulebased molecular motor. This dynein consists of 13 different components and has a total mass of 2MDa (Pfister et al., 1982). Genetic analysis of mutants d
In earlier studies, Hamasaki et al. (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 88:7918-7922, 1991) and Barkalow et al. (J. Cell Biol. 126:727-735, 1994) found that cAMP- and Ca2+-sensitive phosphorylation of a 29 kDa dynein light chain (p29) extracted from 22S axonemal dynein of Paramecium, regulates the velocity
The highly conserved lysine residue in the putative hydrolytic ATP-binding motif of the yeast cytoplasmic dynein heavy chain was replaced with leucine. The mutation was generated by a two-stage transformation method designed for genomic site-directed mutagenesis. Preliminary observations show that t
