Summary: Enables ATP binding activity and minus-end-directed microtubule motor activity. Involved in establishment of mitotic spindle orientation; mitotic sister chromatid segregation; and nuclear migration along microtubule. Located in astral microtubule; cell cortex; and spindle pole body. Part of cytoplasmic dynein complex. Used to study Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2O; congenital muscular dystrophy; lissencephaly; polymicrogyria; and spinal muscular atrophy with lower extremity predominant 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2O; autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 13; lissencephaly; and spinal muscular atrophy with lower extremity predominant 1. Orthologous to human DYNC1H1 (dynein cytoplasmic 1 heavy chain 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

Modeling a disease-correlated tubulin mutation in budding yeast reveals insight into MAP-mediated dynein function.
Title: Modeling a disease-correlated tubulin mutation in budding yeast reveals insight into MAP-mediated dynein function.
Dynein's anisotropic response to directional tension is mediated by sliding of the coiled-coils of the stalk, and that coordinated conformational changes of dynein's linker and buttress control this process.
Title: Molecular mechanism of cytoplasmic dynein tension sensing.
using single-molecule assays, elongation or shortening of the coiled-coil stalk that connects the motor to the microtubule controls the helical directionality of dynein around microtubules; changing the length and angle of the stalk successfully reversed the motility towards the plus end of the microtubule
Title: Directionality of dynein is controlled by the angle and length of its stalk.
Data suggest a model in which simultaneous interactions between the microtubule and dynein enables myosin 4 (She1) to directly affect dynein motility.
Title: She1 affects dynein through direct interactions with the microtubule and the dynein microtubule-binding domain.
Interplay among dynein, dynactin, and the stability of the microtubule substrate creates a mechanism that regulates accurate spindle positioning.
Title: Dynein is regulated by the stability of its microtubule track.
Lis1 (Pac1) regulates dynein by sterically blocking its mechanochemical cycle.
Title: Lis1 regulates dynein by sterically blocking its mechanochemical cycle.
DYN1 is engaged in bidirectional helical motility around microtubules in the process of cargo transport.
Title: Bidirectional helical motility of cytoplasmic dynein around microtubules.
Study reports X-ray and electron microscopy structures of yeast dynein, DYN1 bound to different ATP analogs, which collectively provide insight into the roles of dynein's two major ATPase sites, AAA1 and AAA3, in the conformational change mechanism.
Title: Allosteric communication in the dynein motor domain.
Results indicate that inhibition of dynein activity by She1 is important to prevent excessive detachment of cytoplasmic microtubules, particularly in G1 cells.
Title: Constitutive dynein activity in She1 mutants reveals differences in microtubule attachment at the yeast spindle pole body.
The authors find that dynein has a highly variable stepping pattern that is distinct from all other processive cytoskeletal motors, which use 'hand-over-hand' mechanisms.
Title: Dynein achieves processive motion using both stochastic and coordinated stepping.
