Dynein has four nucleotide binding sites, of which the functional significance is unknown except for the single catalytic site. To obtain clues to the function of non-catalytic nucleotide binding, we examined the effect of ADP on the in vitro motility of Chlamydomonas inner-arm dynein species 'a'. Upon continuous perfusion with ATP and ADP, microtubules glided on a dynein-coated glass surface with a velocity that gradually increased over a few minutes. The velocity increased faster at higher ADP concentrations. These results suggest that this dynein is activated by nucleotide binding to regulatory site(s) through an extremely slow process.
