Abstract:
Microtubule protein and 30-S dynein (an axonemal ATPase protein) were prepared from cilia of Tetrahymena pyriformis and their mutual interaction was investigated. Microtubular protein stimulated the ATPase activity of 30-S dynein. These observations give some support to models involving the interaction between tubules and dynein arms in ciliary movement.
