Cilia and flagella are equipped with multiple species of dyneins that have diverse motor properties. To assess the properties of various axonemal dyneins of Chlamydomonas, in vitro microtubule translocation by isolated dyneins was examined with and without flow of the medium. With one inner-arm dynein species, dynein c, most microtubules became aligned parallel to the flow and translocated downstream after the onset of flow. When the flow was stopped, the gliding direction was gradually randomiz ...[more]
