Abstract
Cytoplasmic dynein 1 (dynein) is the primary minus end-directed motor protein in eukaryotic cells. Dynein remains in an inactive conformation until the formation of a tripartite complex comprising dynein, its regulator dynactin and a cargo adaptor. How this process of dynein activation occurs is unclear, since it entails the formation of a three-protein complex inside the crowded environs of a cell. Here, we employed live-cell, single-molecule imaging to visualise and track fluorescently tagged dynein.
