Sperm motility is necessary for the transport of male DNA to eggs in species with both
external and internal fertilization. Flagella comprise several proteins for generating and …

Dyneins are large multi-component microtubule-based molecular motors involved in many
fundamental cellular processes including vesicular transport, mitosis and ciliary/flagellar …

Several enzymes, including cytoplasmic and flagellar outer arm dynein, share an M r 8,000
light chain termed LC8. The function of this chain is unknown, but it is highly conserved …

Eukaryotic flagella beat rhythmically. Dynein is a protein that powers flagellar motion, and
oscillation may be inherent to this protein,,,. Here we determine whether oscillation is a …

Cilia and flagella of most organisms are equipped with two kinds of motor protein complex,
the inner and outer dynein arms. The two arms were previously thought to be similar to each …

We report here the complete sequence of the γ dynein heavy chain of the outer arm of the
Chlamydomonas flagellum, and partial sequences for six other dynein heavy chains. The γ …

A new allele of the Chlamydomonas oda4 flagellar mutant (oda4-s7) possessing abnormal
outer dynein arms was isolated. Unlike the previously described oda4 axoneme lacking all …

We have previously used the asialoglycoprotein receptor system to elucidate the pathway of
hepatocytic processing of ligands such as asialoorosomucoid (ASOR). These studies …

The formation and function of eukaryotic cilia/flagella require the action of a large array of
dynein microtubule motor complexes. Due to genetic, biochemical, and microscopic …

The motility of eukaryotic cilia and flagella is modulated in response to several extracellular
stimuli. Ca 2+ is the most critical intracellular factor for these changes in motility, directly …
