Cytoplasmic dynein is one of the major motor proteins involved in intracellular transport. It is a protein complex consisting of four subunit classes: heavy chains, intermediate chains (ICs), light intermediate chains, and light chains. In a previous study, we had generated new monoclonal antibodies to the ICs and mapped the ICs to the base of the motor. Because the ICs have been implicated in targeting the motor to cargo, we tested whether these new antibodies to the intermediate chain could block the function of cytoplasmic dynein. When cytoplasmic extracts of Xenopus oocytes were incubated with either one of the monoclonal antibodies (m74-1, m74-2), neither organelle movement nor network formation was observed. Network formation and membrane transport was blocked at an antibody concentration as low as 15 µg/ml. In contrast to these observations, no effect was observed on organelle movement and tubular network formation in the presence of a control antibody at concentrations as high as 0.5 mg/ml. After incubating cytoplasmic extracts or isolated membranes with the monoclonal antibodies m74-1 and m74-2, the dynein IC polypeptide was no longer detectable in the membrane fraction by SDS-PAGE immunoblot, indicating a loss of cytoplasmic dynein from the membrane. We used a panel of dynein IC truncation mutants and mapped the epitopes of both antibodies to the N-terminal coiled-coil domain, in close proximity to the p150Glued binding domain. In an IC affinity column binding assay, both antibodies inhibited the IC-p150Glued interaction. Thus these findings demonstrate that direct IC-p150Glued interaction is required for the proper attachment of cytoplasmic dynein to membranes.
