Even though only minus-end-directed motility was detected with ned, Walker et al. mention that ned could produce plusend-directed movement, perhaps under appropriate regulation. This idea would seem heretical were it not for the work of Schliwa and colleagues"'on a dynein-like (M, 400-500K subunit) organelle transport motor from the freshwater amoeba, Reticulomyxa. This motor induces bidirectional movement of beads along microtubules"; but it was difficult to rule out the possibility that a kinesin-like contaminant is responsible for the plusend-directed motility. Their recent study, however, puts the conclusion that the Reticulomyxa dynein is a bidirectional motor on firmer ground.
