Ciliary dynein from sea urchin embryos.
???displayArticle.abstract???
Axonemal dynein ATPase [EC 3.6.1.3] was extracted from cilia of sea urchin embryos for a study of its enzymatic properties. Sedimentation analysis on a sucrose density gradient revealed that ATPase activity was associated with the 12S particles. The partially purified 12S enzyme was characterized mainly with regard to the optimum pH, divalent cation and ionic strength requirments and substrate specificity. Comparative investigation of the data obtained indicates that the properties of the present dyneine ATPase resemble those of other dynein(-like) ATPase hitherto reported. In addition, the possible relationship among dyneins within a single species, in particular between the ciliary dynein and cytoplasmic dynein-like ATPase, is discussed.
