Force Induces a Collective Inactivity in Dyneins to Auto-Regulate Bidirectional Transport of Vesicles
The back-and-forth (bidirectional) motion of Endosomes and Phagosomes along microtubules is fundamentally important for nutrient absorption, receptor recycling, pathogen degradation and many other downstream cellular pathways. Bidirectional motion requires opposing force from the kinesin and dynein motors, causing intermittent Tug-of-Wars (ToWs) followed by runs where winning motors drive their…
