title: Binding of axonemal dynein to microtubules comprising the cytoplasmic transport system in insect ovarioles.
abstract: Dynein isolated from ciliary axonemes of Tetrahymena is shown to bind in a characteristic fashion as arms to microtubules dissected from the nutritive tubes of insect ovarioles. The microtubules in nutritive tubes are associated with the transport of cytoplasmic components along their length, and the significance of their ability to bind axonemal dynein, to the possibility that microtubule/dynein interactions are involved in microtubule-associated movements, generally, is discussed.
