Deskripsi

Cytoplasmic dynein 2 drives retrograde intraflagellar transport but little is known about its dynamics. Here the authors use fluorescence microscopy to track labelled dynein 2 inC. elegansat the single-molecule level and report diffusion at the ciliary base, and pausing and directional switches along the cilium.
