a, MT stimulated ATPase activity and velocity analysis of Dyn and DynRK+7hep under different salt conditions. An increase in salt concentration reduces the MT affinity (KM-MT) of Dyn and DynRK+7hep, but it does not alter their directionality. KM-MT of Dyn without added salt is similar to that of DynRK+7hep under 50 mM KAc (Two-sided t-test, p = 0.055). ATPase data was collected from three independent experiments (mean ± s.d.). n = 67, 55, 52, 58 from left to right. b, The list of yeast strains used in this study. These strains were produced by homologous recombination using the template strain (MATa his3-11,5 ura3-1 leu2-3, 112 ade2-1 trp-1 pep4::HIS3 prb1Δ) expressing the tail-truncated yeast cytoplasmic dynein (331Dyn1) under the galactose promoter (pGal) or full-length dynein (471DYN1) under the native promoter. A ZZ-Tev tag was inserted at the N-termini of these constructs for affinity purification. The DHA tag was used to label the motor with fluorescent dyes functionalized with alkyl chloride (F: Figure, EDF: Extended Data Figure, EDT: Extended Data Table).
