Importance• Dynein transports cargo
throughout the cell• Assists organization of
cellular components• Plays a major function in
cellular division– Segregation of
chromosomes
![Page 3: Structural Analysis of Cytoplasmic Dynein Marcus A. Chiodo Dr. Elisar Barbar Biochemistry and Biophysics Department.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d415503460f94a1bf14/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Motor Proteins• Motor proteins are the
cell’s transportation system• Dynein and Kinesin are the
two primary classes of motor proteins– They are powered by ATP
and “walk” along microtubules transporting their cargo
• Dynein and Kinesin transport cargo in opposing directions and are different structures
![Page 4: Structural Analysis of Cytoplasmic Dynein Marcus A. Chiodo Dr. Elisar Barbar Biochemistry and Biophysics Department.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d415503460f94a1bf14/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Dynein• Two classes of dynein
– Axonemal dynein• propels beating of cilia
and flagella– Cytoplasmic dynein
• transports membrane bound vesicles, protein complexes, chromosomes
• Cellular organization• Cell Division
![Page 5: Structural Analysis of Cytoplasmic Dynein Marcus A. Chiodo Dr. Elisar Barbar Biochemistry and Biophysics Department.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d415503460f94a1bf14/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Cytoplasmic Dynein
• A large multi-subunit molecular motor protein– Heavy chains contain the ATP and
microtubule binding sites• Cytoplasmic dynein is responsible for
transporting cellular cargo to the minus end of microtubules (i.e. toward the centrosome)
![Page 6: Structural Analysis of Cytoplasmic Dynein Marcus A. Chiodo Dr. Elisar Barbar Biochemistry and Biophysics Department.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d415503460f94a1bf14/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Light Chain 8 (LC8)• 10.3 kDa subunit of Dynein found in all eukaryotes• Connects the cargo binding proteins to the mobile
proteins (heavy chains)• Assists in assemblage of Dynein complex• Free form structure is known
![Page 7: Structural Analysis of Cytoplasmic Dynein Marcus A. Chiodo Dr. Elisar Barbar Biochemistry and Biophysics Department.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d415503460f94a1bf14/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Drosophila Swallow (Swa)• Swa is an example of a natural occurring cargo
protein in Drosophila cells– Role in localizing bicoid mRNA of the oocyte during
oogenesis
• Focused on the 206 to 297 amino acid domain of Swa
![Page 8: Structural Analysis of Cytoplasmic Dynein Marcus A. Chiodo Dr. Elisar Barbar Biochemistry and Biophysics Department.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d415503460f94a1bf14/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Project Objective• Grow, purify and collect
30mg of LC8/Swa protein• Screen LC8/Swa protein
for promising crystallization conditions
• Optimize conditions of promising leads from screens
• X-Ray diffraction on LC8/Swa crystal to determine protein structure

Purification: Affinity Column• The protein has a His-tag that
has an affinity towards the divalent Ni ions in the column’s resin
• Untagged proteins either have a weaker or no affinity for the Ni compared to the His-tagged protein
• Imidazole also has an affinity for Ni and can compete with the protein with the His-tag

Size Exclusion Column (SEC)•SEC’s take advantage of porous particles to separate molecules by different sizes and shapes
•Smaller molecules can enter the porous particles and therefore have a longer travel path and elution time
