dynein Biochem.|ˈdaɪniːn|
[f. dyne + -in1, -ein (see quot. 1965).]
A protein with ATPase activity that is responsible for the movement of cilia, flagella, and sperm tails; dynein arm, a short transverse projection from a ciliary microtubule, composed of dynein.
1965Gibbons & Rowe in Science 23 July 424/2 We propose the term ‘dynein’ (dyne, force; -in, protein) to describe..adenosine triphosphatase proteins associated with motile structures. 1974Sci. Amer. Oct. 50/2 If the ciliary microtubules could ‘walk along’ one another by means of their dynein arms, one could envisage that, given the right sequence of activity and appropriate shear resistance with the axoneme, bends would form. 1979Nature 7 June 532/1 The force required for motion of cilia, eukaryotic flagella and sperm tails is generated by the dynein arms... The dynein arms have been shown to contain Mg2+ -ATPases. 1985Sci. Amer. Oct. 99/1 In cilia and flagella tubulin links with a flexible protein known as dynein. |
