Lis1 binding regulates force-induced detachment of cytoplasmic dynein from microtubules

E. Kusakci, Z. M. Htet, Y. Zhao, J. P. Gillies, S. L. Reck-Peterson, A. Yildiz

This study shows Lis1 binding to dynein affects force-induced detachment asymmetry and slows dynein movement without altering stall forces.

Lis1 activates dynein motility by pairing it with dynactin

M. ElShenawy, E. Kusakci, S. Volz, J. Baumbach, S. L. Bullock, A. Yildiz

This study shows Lis1 activates dynein motility by releasing it from auto-inhibition and promoting complex formation with dynactin, enhancing transport efficiency.
