Abstract

Dynein is a large enzyme complex that has been found in recent years to be responsible for a variety of forms of intracellular movement associated with microtubules. Molecular analysis of several of the polypeptide components of dynein and a related complex has provided important new insight into their structural organization and mechanism of action in the cell.
