Pericentrin contains internal adaptor-like sequences that activate dynein directly

Wenzhu Zhang, Ami G. Sangster, Thao T. Nguyen, John P. Gillies, Samantha Melancon, Jia-Lin Shiu, Tian Hao Huang, Akhil Gargey Iragavarapu, Xueer Jiang, Jennielee Mia, Halil Aydin, Morgan E. DeSantis, Alan M Moses, Li-En Jao

The paper shows that Pericentrin contains an internal sequence that directly activates dynein for co-translational transport, challenging the notion that dynein relies solely on N-terminal adaptors.
