Heterozygotes suffer age-related progressive loss of muscle tone and locomotor ability without major reduction in life-span while homozygotes show a more severe phenotype with an inability to move or feed, and die within 24 hours of birth. LOA mutants display defects in migration of facial motor neuron cell bodies and impaired retrograde transport in spinal cord motor neurons. Defects in Dync1h1 are the cause of the Cramping 1 (Cra1) phenotype, an autosomal dominant trait where affected animals display unusual twisting of the body and clenching of the hindlimbs when suspended by the tail. Heterozygotes suffer age-related progressive loss of muscle tone and locomotor ability without major reduction in life-span while homozygotes show a more severe phenotype with an inability to move or feed, and die within 24 hours of birth. Function DYHC1_MOUSE Cytoplasmic dynein 1 acts as a motor for the intracellular retrograde motility of vesicles and organelles along microtubules. Dynein has ATPase activity; the force-producing power stroke is thought to occur on release of ADP.SYS_THET8 Catalyzes the attachment of serine to tRNA(Ser). Is also able to aminoacylate tRNA(Sec) with serine, to form the misacylated tRNA L-seryl-tRNA(Sec), which will be further converted into selenocysteinyl-tRNA(Sec).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00176] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Dynein motors move various cargos along microtubules within the cytoplasm and power the beating of cilia and flagella. An unusual feature of dynein is that its microtubule-binding domain (MTBD) is separated from its ring-shaped AAA+ adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) domain by a 15-nanometer coiled-coil stalk. We report the crystal structure of the mouse cytoplasmic dynein MTBD and a portion of the coiled coil, which supports a mechanism by which the ATPase domain and MTBD may communicate through a shift in the heptad registry of the coiled coil. Surprisingly, functional data suggest that the MTBD, and not the ATPase domain, is the main determinant of the direction of dynein motility.
