Abstract

AbstractCytoplasmic dynein is a dimeric motor that drives minus-end directed transport on microtubules (MTs). To couple ATP hydrolysis to a mechanical step, a dynein monomer must be released from the MT before undergoing a conformational change that generates a bias towards the minus end. However, the dynamics of dynein stepping have been poorly characterized by tracking flexible regions of the motor with limited resolution. Here, we developed a cysteine-light mutant of yeast dynein and site-specifically labeled its MT-binding domain in vitro. MINFLUX tracking at sub-millisecond resolution revealed that dynein hydrolyzes one ATP per step and takes multitudes of 8 nm steps at physiological ATP. Steps are preceded by the transient movement towards the plus end. We propose that these backward “dips” correspond to MT release and subsequent diffusion of the stepping monomer around its MT-bound partner before taking a minus-end-directed conformational change of its linker. Our results reveal the order of sub-millisecond events that result in a productive step of dynein.
