Cryo-EM structure of mouse cytoplasmic dynein-1 microtubule binding domain bound to microtubules

Loading... Status: waiting for Mol* initialization Structural highlights 6rzb is a 3 chain structure with sequence from Mus musculus and Sus scrofa. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: Electron Microscopy, Resolution 5Å Ligands: GDP, GTP, MG, TA1 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function TBA1B_PIG Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It binds two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha chain. Publication Abstract from PubMed Dyneins are motor proteins responsible for transport in the cytoplasm and the beating of axonemes in cilia and flagella. They bind and release microtubules via a compact microtubule-binding domain (MTBD) at the end of a coiled-coil stalk. We address how cytoplasmic and axonemal dynein MTBDs bind microtubules at near atomic resolution. We decorated microtubules with MTBDs of cytoplasmic dynein-1 and axonemal dynein DNAH7 and determined their cryo-EM structures using helical Relion. The majority of the MTBD is rigid upon binding, with the transition to the high-affinity state controlled by the movement of a single helix at the MTBD interface. DNAH7 contains an 18-residue insertion, found in many axonemal dyneins, that contacts the adjacent protofilament. Unexpectedly, we observe that DNAH7, but not dynein-1, induces large distortions in the microtubule cross-sectional curvature. This raises the possibility that dynein coordination in axonemes is mediated via conformational changes in the microtubule. Cryo-EM of dynein microtubule-binding domains shows how an axonemal dynein distorts the microtubule.,Lacey SE, He S, Scheres SH, Carter AP Elife. 2019 Jul 2;8. pii: 47145. doi: 10.7554/eLife.47145.
