This report carefully examines the phenotypic effects of Kip3p and DHC1 mutations in S. cerevisiae. The authors conclude that in contrast to previous conclusions, dynein is not required for the initial movement of the nucleus to the mother-bud neck, but is required for translocation through the bud neck during anaphase.

The authors used green fluorescent protein labeled tubulin to monitor microtubule dynamics in live yeast cells. Microtubule dynamics were also analyzed in cells lacking dynein, and were found to differ significantly from those in wild-type cells. Perturbations in the interaction of microtubules with the cortex and misaligned spindles were observed in cells with dynein muations.

J Cell Biol. 139:1997;985-994. This report describes the dynamics of astral microtubules in yeast cells expressing green fluorescent protein labeled dynein. They note that the hyperelongated and stable microtubules observed in cells expressing no dynein - or excess dynein - block nuclear migration into the bud, and conclude that nuclear migration into the bud involves a dynamic microtubule-based searching mechanism requiring dynein.

The authors identified nine genes in Aspergillus nidulans which are essential in the absence of dynein. Sequencing of two of these genes revealed homology with yeast spindle assembly checkpoint genes BUB1 and BUB3. These observations suggest that dynein is involved in both mitosis and nuclear distribution in Aspergillus.

The authors demonstrate partially overlapping functions for dynein and the kinesin-related protein Kip3p in the positioning of the spindle at the mother-bud neck during cell division in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The functions are opposed by the kinesin-related protein Kip2p, as the deletion of KIP2 suppresses the inviability seen in dyn1Δkar3Δcells.

The authors screened for mutations which override the delay in cytokinesis observed in yeast cells with a mutation in the Arp1 gene Act5. Two genes were identified and characterized, one was in a yeast homologue of EB1, a mammalian protein which has been shown to interact with the tumor suppressor protein APC. The second mutation was in a gene encoding a phosphatidylinositol-4-OH kinase. The authors propose that these genes may be part of a novel cytokinesis checkpoint mechanism.

In this important study, the authors establish a link between the kinetochore and cytoplasmic dynein through the interaction between the essential kinetochore component, ZW10, and the p50 subunit of dynactin. The authors conclude that while dynein may be involved in the coordination of chromosome separation, it is not involved in either the capture of spindle microtubules nor the congression of the metaphase chromosomes in Drosophila.

Using green fluorescent protein labeled vesicular stomatis viral glycoprotein (VSVG) as a cargo, the authors were able to track the movements of pre-Golgi structures from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi. They observed that this ER-to-Golgi transport was significantly blocked by the overexpression of the p50 (dynamitin) subunit of dynactin, indicating a critical role for dynein and dynactin in the transport of these organelles.

J Cell Biol. 139:1997;469-484. The authors followed up on the initial observation by Echeverri et al. [37] that p50 overexpression disrupts the dynein-dynactin interaction. In this study, they further analyze the effects of p50 overexpression on Golgi integrity and find that disruption of the dynein-dynactin interaction leads to the dispersion of the Golgi throughout the cytoplasm.

67. Glued subunit of dynactin that blocks the dynein-dynactin interaction on an affinity column, the authors investigate the effects of this antibody on microtubule-based motility in the extruded axoplasm from the squid giant axon. They observed that vesicle motility was inhibited in both directions, with the organelles and vesicles remaining firmly attached to the microtubules. The authors also noted that incubation with this antibody resulted in the loss of dynein from membranes, suggesting that dynactin mediates the association of the dynein with vesicles.
68. Ahmad FJ, Echeverri CJ, Vallee RB, Baas PW Cytoplasmic dynein and dynactin are required for the transport of microtubule into the axon. J Cell Biol. 140:1998;391-401. Due to the disruptive effect of p50 overexpression on the dynein-dynactin interaction, p50 (dynamitin) has become an important tool in probing the cellular function of cytoplasmic dynein. In this study, the authors examine the effects of p50 overexpression on the translocation of microtubules down the axon. They report that in the presence of excess p50 microtubules failed to transport to the neurite and remained near the centrosome.

This paper describes the dependence of the transport of herpes simplex virus (HSV)1 capsids to the nucleus on the microtubule-based system. Since dynein was found to be associated with viral capsids following infection of fibroblasts, the authors suggest that this virus may use the retrograde organelle transport system to efficiently infect its host.

The authors predict that the microtubule-binding domain forms a hairpin-like stalk which is well separated from the ATPase domain, suggesting that dynein may use a force generation mechanism which is distinct from that of myosin and kinesin.
