Processive movement of single 22S dynein molecules occurs only at low ATP concentrations.
We have analyzed the movement of single 22S dynein molecules from Tetrahymena cilia by using a nanometer measuring system equipped with optical tweezers. Statistical analysis proved that a single molecule of 22S dynein can move processively and develop force at low concentrations of ATP (<20 microM). The maximum force was approximately 4.7 pN, and the force-velocity curve was convex down. Durin...
متن کاملModel for processive movement of dynein
A model for the processive movement of dynein is presented based on experimental observations available. In the model, the change from strong microtubule-binding to weak binding of dynein is determined naturally by the variation of the relative orientation between the two interacting surfaces of the stalk tip and the microtubule as the stalk rotates from the ADP.Vi-state orientation to the apo-...
متن کاملChymotryptic digestion of Tetrahymena 22S dynein. I. Decomposition of three-headed 22S dynein to one- and two-headed particles
Molecular composition of Tetrahymena ciliary dynein has been examined by electron microscopy and gel electrophoresis. SDS-urea gel electrophoresis revealed that Tetrahymena 22S dynein contains three (A alpha, A beta, and A gamma) heavy chains whereas 14S dynein contains only one. The molecular masses of 22S and 14S dynein heavy chains were estimated to be approximately 490 and 460 kD, respectiv...
متن کاملDirect observation of processive movement by individual myosin V molecules.
Myosin V is an unconventional myosin thought to move processively along actin filaments. To have hard evidence for the high processivity, we sought to observe directly the movement by individual native chick brain myosin V (BMV) molecules with fluorescent calmodulin. Single BMV molecules did exhibit highly processive movement along actin filaments fixed to a coverslip. BMV continued to move up ...
متن کاملMechanism of Processive Movement of Monomeric and Dimeric Kinesin Molecules
Kinesin molecules are motor proteins capable of moving along microtubule by hydrolyzing ATP. They generally have several forms of construct. This review focuses on two of the most studied forms: monomers such as KIF1A (kinesin-3 family) and dimers such as conventional kinesin (kinesin-1 family), both of which can move processively towards the microtubule plus end. There now exist numerous model...
