Axonal transport is critical for neuronal function and survival. Cytoplasmic dynein and its accessory complex dynactin form a microtubule minus end‐directed motor in charge of retrograde transport. In this study, we show that Nudel, a dynein regulator, was highly expressed in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. Microinjection of anti‐Nudel antibody into cultured DRG neurons abolished retrograde transport of membranous organelles in the axon and led to dispersions of Golgi cisternae in the soma. As a result, lysosomes, which are normally enriched in the soma, moved persistently into and thus accumulated in axons. Endo‐lysosome formation was also markedly delayed. As anterograde motility of mitochondria was not inhibited, the antibody apparently did not abolish retrograde transport by destructing axonal microtubule tracks. Similar results were obtained by microinjecting N‐terminal Nudel, anti‐dynein antibody or a p150Glued mutant capable of abrogating the dynein–dynactin association. These results indicate a critical role of Nudel in dynein‐mediated axonal transport. Moreover, the effects of dynein on endolysosome formation and regional sequestration of lysosomes may contribute to defects in the endocytic pathway seen in neurons of patients or animals with malfunction of dynein.
