Dynein Harnesses Active Fluctuations of Microtubules for Faster Movement
The cytoskeleton forms a dynamic network that generates fluctuations larger than thermal agitation of the cytoplasm(1). Here, we tested whether dynein, a minus-end-directed microtubule (MT) motor(2), can harness energy from these fluctuations using optical trapping in vitro. We show that dynein form...
