Dynein's Gait Discovery a 'First Step' in Brain Disease Fight

Researchers have discovered that the transport protein dynein moves differently from cells’ two other transport proteins. The protein’s malfunction has been associated with Lou Gehrig’s disease and Parkinson’s.

...."Researchers noted Dynein is one of three types of “motor proteins” that shuttles materials needed to keep cells alive, allow cells to divide and communicate with other cells.

The other proteins are myosin and kinesin. The proteins use the energy from breaking chemical bonds to generate movement......
