Abstract

As molecular machines, motor proteins contain three functional modules; “ATP hydrolyzing”, “force generating” and “track binding” modules. Among cytoskeletal motor proteins, dynein has a unique modular architecture with the distinctive evolutionary history. Here, we summarize recent progress in understanding how dynein coordinates these modules to generate its movements along a microtubule track.<br>
