This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing theresources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject andinvestigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source,and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.Microtubule-based motors, dyneins, are nano-meter scale protein machineries and convert chemical energy derived from ATP hydrolysis to mechanical movement. The mechanical movement is employed for various essential intracellular motilities, such as axonal transport, chromosome segregation, and flagellar motility. The importance of dynein functions is underlined by several dynein-related diseases caused by mutation in dynein or dynein-associated proteins. However, little is known about how the mutations cause diseases. Even a basic question of how dyneins convert chemical energy to mechanical movement is not well understood.
