The Light Intermediate Chain 2 Subpopulation of Dynein Regulates Mitotic Spindle Orientation

Abstract Cytoplasmic dynein 1 is a multi-protein intracellular motor essential for mediating several mitotic functions, including the establishment of proper spindle orientation. The functional relevance and mechanistic distinctions between two discrete dynein subpopulations distinguished only by Li...
