One class of these proteins is divided into five subclasses, each of which is encoded by a single gene in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii; those subclasses are characterized by the presence of inner-arm or outer-arm heavy chain subunits.
These proteins are found along with midasin on a branch of the AAA+ superfamily on the basis of the fact that they have all six AAA modules concatenated into a single polypeptide. One class of these proteins is divided into five subclasses, each of which is encoded by a single gene in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii; those subclasses are characterized by the presence of inner-arm or outer-arm heavy chain subunits. These proteins are responsible for (*) retrograde axonal transport, and one variety of these proteins binds to a complex whose core contains Arp1. They can be divided into cytoplasmic and axonemal classes, the latter of which is found in cilia and flagella. Their direction of movement distinguishes them from a similar class of proteins, which is why they are called minus-end motors. For 10 points, name these motor proteins which move in a direction opposite to kinesins.
