Molecular mechanism of cytoplasmic dynein tension sensing

The cytoplasmic motor protein dynein senses directional tension; its microtubule-binding domains bind microtubules more strongly when under backward load. Here the authors use optical tweezers to show that the linker, buttress, and stalk domains together regulate directional tension-sensing.
