Abstract

The processivity of myosins and kinesins has been well studied, but how the dynein homodimer achieves continuous motion is unknown. Two-dimensional analysis of labeled, DNA-dimerized dynein demonstrates that dynein has an unusual stepping pattern and can alternate between stochastic- and tension-based stepping to achieve processivity.
